Not in what he has done, but in what he hopes to do. Wo are thankful that the world has the soft, eye soothing coolness of green, growing things: that flowers blossom and birds sing; that the sun shines and that the night comes and hides, for a little while, the scars that have been made on earth's face. Thankful we should be that the rain falls and renews the soil-magic that will bring forth and feed a liny plant, and in the mystery of growth, warmth and time, develop into a tree or a flower with all the hope fulness of future life. We are grateful that there is more magic, and mystery and accom plishment in the metamorphosis of an ugly worm turning into the exquisite beauty of a moth, than in the most expensive TV set that will ever be made. Single Itosc There is more of perfection and of promise in the blossom- 0 nig UI a single iuac wan in ou the power unleashed by a guid ed missile. There is more of greatness and wonder in the mysterious life - force, hidden away in a tiny seed no larger than a printed period, than in a computing machine or an electronic brain. Within the seed is the force that releases a se ries of never-ending and intri cate reactions that can go on and on. Wilhnul that sillv looking seed and others like it there never rould have been an atom bomb. In that seed, or in an even smaller sperm, there is a con tinuity of countless millions of intricate and complicated mir acles. In these seemingly sim ple objects is the power of re newed life, that means more to the future of the world than any machine man will ever make. At times we must stand in slupified wonder and admiration at the close inspection of a ra darscopc or a jet-engine. We may become starry eyed at the electronic brain or of a sewing machine that will sew zigzag. We read of the destrucliveness of a superbomb, thinking that man has accomplished a mir acle. Actually there is nothing mi raculous about it; they arc only sillv machines. They cannot think, reason, or recreate them selves. At best they arc only piles of organized junk, that can. under the hand of a think ing being, perform certain ihinne Tlmv have no feeling. no initiative. Without the living being to push the button they are onlv senseless metal, wood or plastic. They are stupid and ungiftcd. We mav look at a radar screen and think it wonderful, but it must have seeing eyes to look or it means nothing. Be side a man. a monkey, a mouse, or even a beetle, even a guided missile is as simple as a paper I Un..lif,,llir bag. INO mauer nuw ui-ouiuuuj h made or how cleverly designed. B anv machine is in a rut. Its single purpose is common ana restricted; it is only a collection of senseless matter lhat forever lacks the spark of life to make it live. The lowly insect that mashes itself on the windshield of your car is a million times more marvelous than the car lhat killed it. Within its complex bodv was that somelhing that marie it alive. There is more of magic in a mouse than in any machine, for no machine is a miracle. So we should be thankful that now and tomorrow and all Ihe lomorrows to come, that Ihere is and always will be a sperm or a seed, which contains all the promise of continued life. Man will continue to make ma chines, but only God can create the miracles, we are inaiiMui that this is so. Unique Travel Agency Offers No Tours QUOXSET P01XT. U. I.
