Skeptics And Miracles
A FEW days ago tne papers told about a woman
' preacher who had been elected mayor of a
small Louisiana city.
Telling reporters how she filled her job, the
preacher-mayor remarked that she always prayed for
divine guidance whenever an especially tough prob
lem came up. Then she told this little story:
Her city had no water or electric light service. For
years efforts had been made to provide them, but they
had always fizzled out She had conferred with busi
Bess men, civic leaders and others, but had been un
able to make any headway.
So, one night, utterly discouraged, she knelt and
prayed that divine aid might come to the rescue and
help the little city get the modern conveniences it need
d so badly.
. The next day out of a clear sky, so to speak i
group of business men called at her office and told her
that they were going to form a corporation to establish
a water and electricity supply for the city. -
Thus she told the reporters her prayers had been
answered. What weeks of effort had failed to do, a
prayer had accomplished.
Now it is altogether too easy for us to scoff at that
story.
Many a reader, no doubt, laid down his p.. per and
snorted, "Humph! Those men had laid their plans al
ready. Prayer or no prayer, they'd have been ready to
go ahead 'with the job. She's just kidding herself if
she thinks her prayer really did anything.
That may be true and it may not be. Meanwhile,
one. is moved to wonder why it is that a generation
whose daily life is attended by uncounted miracles
should be so much more skeptical about things that it
cannot see and handle than all previous generations
have been.
When you sit in your home at night and tune in on
a radio program, picking music out of the silent air, you
are taking part in a thing as wondrous as the star over
Bethlehem.
Suppose you turn on your phonograph. Whom do
you want to hear 7 Caruso? Very well: he has been
dead seven years, but he will sing for you, his voice as
clear and rich as ever, though lis' body is dust
Far over your housetop soars an air mail plane. The
pilot cannot see the earth below. Mist obscures the bea
con light But that same miracle of radio tells him.
unfailingly, that he is on his course.
Those things are commonplace. We have even stop
ped taarveling at them.
The mystery of prayer is far older old as the day
that the first barbaric cave dweller made his first des
perate appeal for help to the forces that he could not see.
Why should we be skeptical? Have we swallowed
our new miracles only to reject one that is as old and
familiar as the race itself?

The hardy men wno ventured
ta found a free republic in a
world which knew only the
divine right of kings and the
rule of autocratic governments
had a message of permanent
value to their countrymen. We
need today their generous prln

with our external aa well aa our

The men who wrote our De
claration ot Independence knew
better than that. They specifi
cally defended the right ot local
districts to self-determination.
They declared for Independence
because liberty to anjoy life In
accordance with tha habits and
beliefs ot people who resided In
widely diverse regions aeemed
Important enough to Justify a
great war. t
The Declaration of Independ
ence waa the work of men who
understood human nature and
who appreciated the excellent
spirit of our civilisation.
Tha changes which hava come
during our spectacular national
history are external. Our cir
cumstances hava been altered
radically but our fundamental
desires are th same. Men do
not change their natures with
their clothes or their convey
ances ot travel.
A decent respect for other
men's opinions and ware of liv

It waa 15 S years ago.
It was fortunate tor ns and

cording to Aldoua Huxley who
recently wrote In the Century
Magazine. Mr. Huxley aaya: .
People who hold unpopular
belief and wboae habits of life
are different than the majority,
enjoy in Europe a degree of
freedom which would never be
accorded .them in most of the
states of America. This free
dom is largely due, I believe, to
the influence of the surviving
hereditary aristocracy to whom
the Idea of personal liberty is
sacred and who, therefore, do
their best to protect not only
their own, but other people are
allowed to think and believe as
they like."
