(Copyrighted, by the San Jose Slercury) . . 1 The mind of man has wrought wonderful things. It has fear lessly invaded the whole realm of nature, few of the mysteries of the past b'eing mysteries to this age. The laws of the phy sical universe have been learned and applied, the inventions, discoveries and achievements of each generations being added to those of the generations that have gone before, until the accumulation is so prodigous that it seems as if little is left, so far as the physical universe is concerned, for the future to learn-or subdue,: Astronomy,' geology, chemistry, metallurgy, electricity, biology and all the jother sciences and arts have io added to the world's knowledge and jejcperienee during the last cenury that the' habits. of human, thought arid life have been wholly revolutionized. ' ' j"?v r -v . - l1 One hundred years ago the most rapid means of travel and transportation known were the stage coach and the ox team. The railroad, the modern ocean steamship, the telegraph, the ocean cable and the telephone, that have brought the whole world closer together than formerly were even the remote parts of any single nation, had never been thought of by anyone in 1820. ."What would our fathers have ithought of the limited trains, the automobiles, the aeroplanes, the telegraphic news service of the daily press, and "the thouiand and one things that have in the recent past become a part of our daily common life? Even to us who are a part of the wonderful age in which "We live it seems almost like a dream or a fairy tale when we' take a merltal account of the wond'ers that have come tot- the world;, v This is emphatically the ageof,the intellect. Education, intellectual development and, ability ?arer the thing that the ambitious youth of this age generally prizes and ''strives f5r. Military; prowess, rank and wealth and, all the old, grosser and more physical things have lost much of theif lure. ' Great indeed i the intellect of plan and piaryelous its achievements and pos sibilities, - -t ; -5' " : j , w-.-s-!... 'V' ' l ' -' - f Great as Is this intellect, there i something in man vastly greater. Marvelous as are the accomplishments of the mind, there are in man undeveloped powers thatVill some day make its achievements seem childish and weak. The old Greek phil osopher was moved to exclaim, "Megisfon en anthropo phren," "Mind is the greatest thing in man,'f because he did not know of this greater things" And so men df this day almost worship jntellect and regard it as the greatest? thing in the human world because they know lit tie or nothing about the greater thin" that is to be developed in the life of man. V ' The spiritual nature is the greatest thing in man. Now large ly dormant and undeveloped, events the mind was in the primitive stages of liuman life, this nature will one day outshine und, supersede the intellect as the controlling, dominating force in the world. Indeed, the intellect is but a part of the natural physical life. The animals have it; even though in a lesser degree than humanity. This intellect and its works relate almost exclusively to the physical things of the universe and human life the things which must; nd with the end of this ruundane existence. - They do not reach into the great beyond. Intellect has not, indeed cannot, uncover the mysteries of the limitless eternity any more, than chemistry can measure the heavenly bodies. .This is not its sphere. ? f j The greatest naturalists or scientists that ever lived can go no further in their investigations than the physical character istics and manifestations of the forms of lifethat they study. They all stop at the mystery of life itself. They do not know what it is. - They have not been able; to s71VA ATI intplllcronf lofiti- r? w - jk. . a. ition of it because life in all of its myriad forms is beyond the sphere of the intellect. It is of God ; of the realm of the spirit The spiritual part of .them will one day unfold to men a world that as yet they know nothing of. It is in his spirit that man is created in-the image of God, not in his physical make tip or his intellect. The spiritual part of us is what makes us akin to the Father and will enable us to develop into His like nesss to be His spiritual children. And the possibilities of the development of this part of us, like the life of our Creator, are infinite. We have in ourselves possibilities that men generally have never dreamed of, far beyond the grasp of the ordinary intellect even of this day. Of the possibilities of this spiritual development we are taught in our Bible. Jesus with His wonderful spiritual insight and His divine powers and love is a revelation of what this development of the spirit in us may lead to. Yet even this, according to His own recorded words, is not the full expression of what spiritually developed man. may some day attain.' 'IIe that believeth on Me, the works that I do shall he do also; and greater works than these shall he do." These are His own inspired and inspiring words to us. And He points the way to this spiritual development, which His life and words reveal; so plainly that "a wayfaring man, though a fool, need not err therein." We arc to make a place for Him in ourselves. We are to overcome in our natures the things that are enmity to Him, to God. We must bring ourselves into harmony with His life and spirit. In spite of His life, example and words, recorded in the New Testament, some have even thought that the physical works of the intellect, above referred to, are the "greater works'" which He promised. Such have evidently overlooked the fact that His life -and powers are not evolved from the intellect. They are manifestations of an entirely different kind ; they are of the spirit. And His whole gospel is an invitation to us to come in development up where we may live and have our being in the same spiritual atmosphere in which He lived. Some day in the history of the race man will wake up to his spiritual possibilities, will become conscious of his divine inheritance and will obey His call. A lot of folks would be fonder of spooks if they would play some instrument besides the tambourine. Sermons at a church, in Evan ston, 111., are to be broadcasted by radio for the benefit of peo ple who, do not go to church. Golf ground and automobile radio sets will be necessary. A special English mission is coming to the United States to discuss the debt due from that nation to the United States. It is pleasing to note that at least one nation is beginning te take the matter seriously. "Creeds were made by men and probably none of them is true," an Ohio Methodist clergyman said the other day in the course of a sermon. The assertion la not so startling as it sounds, for no one denies that creeds, were made by men. "'A Hindu Christian missionary to America, working among his own people on the Pacific coast, says it is up to America to re form herself. Thanks, Mr. Field brave. "We hadn't thought of that." Exchange. Most thought ful people have thought of it; and they will agree with the Hin du Christian missionary What Mrs. Asquith menas in saying there is no freedom in America was illustrated during her recent lecture tour. In a midwest city the hotel employes, finding the door of her room ajar at night, disturbed her re pose by calling her attention to the fact,' and courteously remind ing' her of the danger of being robbed. "Margot" resented the disturbance, said? she had a right to sleep with her door wide open if 'she wanted to, and declared that America was not the land of the free so long as such things could happen. Sad is the day for any man when he becomes absolutely sat isfied with the life he is living, the thoughts that he is thinking, and the, deeds that he is doing; when there ceases to be forever beating at the doors of his soul a desire to do something larger which he feels and knows he was menat and intended to do. Phil lips Brooks. The Nebraska State Journal re marks, apropos oT the talk about Senator Pcmerene as a presiden tial candidate, that if the Demo crats are to beat Harding in 1924 "they will need a candidate of different type from the character istic neutral-tinted product of Ohio politics."

They will agree, for the most part, that President Harding stands square ly on the right platform and Is in faTor of the right principles; but they would like to see him fare further and faster and hit harder.

Dur ing the fiscal year just ended the marriages in Los Angeles county increased at the rate of 12 per cent, while the divorces were swelled but 6 per cent. In the pievious year the increases were only 3 per cent for the weddings and 19 per cent for the partings. Now the tables are turned.

RAPID FIRING Among her other qualifications for high office it is. listed that Mrs. Peter Oleson, who has been nominated by the Democrats of Minnesota tor United States sena tor, is one of the five fastest talk er's in the world. Dr. George Vincent, head of the Rockefeller Foundation, is said to be her only rival in speedy speech In this country. The United States sen ate is pretty well cluttered up with talkers as It is, but it is per fectly natural to assume that capacity in this line would be con sidered as an asset.

Ev ery one knew who "Hunter of the Times' was. V .: V Junior Hunter was very proud of his father. He liked being pointed out as Mr. Hunter's son. He knew that other boys looked at him enviously and wished their fathers were famous cartoonists instead of being common bankers or lawyers or something like that. But Junior soon began to real ize that there were some draw backs to being the son of a comic strip rrtist. Weren't Mr. Hunter's cartoon boys always lively fellows who got Into all sorts of troubles? Somebow every one had an idea that Junior must give his father ideas for the cartoons. They ex pected him to be a young desper ado. And really there was never a quieter, more peaceful boy than Junior Hunter. That year they moved and Jun ior started into the Ferry school. His father's fame made him a marked boy at ence. "Wonder what's the matter with Junior?" said Mr. Hunter one 'day to his wife. "He doesn't seem to take much interest In his school work. iHe mopes around and seems unhappy. Why, he hardly speaks to me at all any more." "Oh. I guess he's growing fast." said Mrs. Hunter. But one night Junior did not come home from school. Dinner time came and he did not sho'v up. A search was started. ' It was morning before Junior wai located in a barn outside of town. "I was running nway, of course," he said stubbornly. His father and mother were' surprised. They thought they had always been tho kindest of parents. "Whaw happened yesterday was the last straw," he explained. "Somebody hit the teacher with a paper wad. She kept me In. lionet I didnt do it, :. Bur . I heard her telling another teacher afterward that she had to keep an eye on me cause I must le a young terror, judging from those pictures my father draws." .
