There is a tendency to gtate truth in terms of dead matter. We argue from effect back to first cause, and thus conclude that evolution ex­ plains not only the cosmos but also the complete development of the human race. In spite of ex­ pressed opinions to the contrary, organic evolution does explain the orderly growth of the universe, but it does not ex­ plain all that is implied in answer to the question, Is this a friendly world? Another tendency is to state truth in terms of cold reason. Un­ less we can see clearly our way through a certain truth or expert- ence, we instantly brand it as doubt­ ful or impossible. We instinctively demand the reason for things. Why did this or that happen? If a calami- ty strikes us unaware, we may be­ come discouraged or rebellious. Without economic or moral reserve, we may reach the point of despair. The world seems then, anything but friendly. The world becomes adamant, cruel. We frequently hear people say that which we too have said: "No! this is no friendly world." Another factor must enter the equation before we can determine whether or not this is a friendly world. That factor is purpose. With­ out consideration of the purpose of event we despair of obtaining a satisfactory solution of either a sim­ ple or a complex problem of life. There is a popular saying that what- over happens is always for the best. It is difficult to believe this at all limes, especially when we look ahead. When we review our past experiences and the etfect of one event upon another in the chain of circumstances our life has met, we are usually able to see beneficence for whit once seemed a barnacle. To think that this old world has no purpose is thin and even vicious thinking. In medicine we have many drugs, many of which are poisonous. A physician's prescription may con­ tain one of these poisons. If we ex­ tract the poison and take it, we may die. If we take the medicine as given in the prescription, we may recover. So it is in our daily ex­ perience. We should not extract a great sorrow, or failure, or disap­ pointment and judge life by that one event It takes all of one life’s events to reveal the pattern that holds its un­ broken thread of gold. According to our vision of purpose so is our perception of life. It is our use of anesthetics that proves them a curse or a blessing. The savage who knows very little concerning the moral element of purpose secu in poison a drug that kills. He does not know that poison may be made a power for good; that electricity may be controlled for the advance­ ment of civilization; that the dark­ ness of the night need give no cause for fear. We are far removed from the savage mind and heart. We cannot state truth in terms of destruction only. We know that this is an order­ ly universe. The element of pur­ pose is in the cosmic process all the way from the tiny blade of grass to the giant oak of the forest. And all things work together for good in the moral and spiritual world.
