DEDICATED TO OTHERS

l read with a good deal of in

by Uncle Sam Stille, which was
most timely and provocative.
His words and emphasis-remind
us of the statement of our Lord
"That a mans life CONSISTENT not
in the abundance of the things
that he possesseth." The real iov
and happiness Of life comes
through dedication and sharine
first a dedication to Him, who
is Lord of all"-then in a dedica-
ton of service to others.
In such dedication, we find an
inner happiness and peace, which
surpass everything else in the
whole, wide world. Too often we
are SO anxious about things
material, that we miss the things
that really contribute toward our
inner happiness-service to Goo
service to our fellow men.

ENERGY

The tragedy of waste has been written in every chapter OF W.
history. The sum total of physical energy that las gone TO waste
in the wind, the tides, waterfalls, soil and forest would total stag
gering billions.
However great this total might be, it would be dwarted by the
waste of unused mental energy. None of us use but an m1nites!
NAL portion of our mental capabilities. Henry Ford, with all as
mechanical genius, was disappointed because he had used s. little
of his capabilities.
With the founding of our Republic, horizons of achievement
were showed beyond the view of man. The flood gates u t.e
mind were flung open, setting free torrents OF new ideas M mlsh'S
wonders.
In our Republic there can be no limitations on the expansion
of vision, for every citizen is free to let the power OF thought n
ideas find expression and at the same time transmit those mo
realities for the good of mankind.
Every citizen should dig deep into the well of the soul and
reach high in to the minds hidden powers and harness the unused
energy reposing there. Let each of US, no matter what our calling
might be, increase our mental energy.
There are wild, unframed, stations racing through the minds
of all of u.s.. Let is harness them and make them useful IN this
mixed-up transition. This done, greater wonders will be performed
than were ever accomplished by Aladdin and his lamp.
