HUMANITY—Still Same ‘ The more thoughtful members of the human family have alw:ays been pie sttll curious to know how,* when and where 1 habits preserved because tbe^ world has ac cess to moire written records of an cient Jlreace than to those of any oth er race. The Greeks imagined an elaborate system of goids ai^ deim- gods to whom they attribute not on- jly the'origins of-everyday phenomena but all pf the good and ill that hap pened to human typings. In this they were like-all other primitive peoples, in ascribing hufnan attributes to their deiti^. * • , I think a good deal of that idea of God as nothing but a superior and alhpowerful marf persists in the sub conscious minds of a great many peo- the manners, customs •and miliar to everybody, began. It is not merely curiosity that prompts scien tific investigators to' go back tb the beginning of things. Every bit of SPIRIT —Unchanging ' who was brought evidence thnt things which we are in clined to regard as modem are really very old helps to a better understand ing of what we call, for lack of a bet ter name, “human nature.” The more I dig into the history of the human race the more firmly I am convinced that human nature, in its mam since My mother, wno was prought up a devout Presbyterian,* taught me the ‘‘shorter catechism”, when I was a child. I still think thpt jslassic docu ment contains the most perfect defi nition of God: “God is a spirit, infi nite, eternal and unchangeable, in His being, wisdom, power^ holiness, jus tice, goodness, and truth.” I think if anyone clin'gs to tjiat conception of God, as a spirit Inoving in the hearts of men; and guiding their lives, he is ^sentials, has not changed i goiltg to concern himself much as the beginning of time. i to precisely how the God Of the Bible BEfHNNINGS—One Mystery My indefatigable friend Joseph N. Kane, spends <hi8 time in digging down to the beginnings of Some years ago he published things, a thick book called “Famous First Facts” in which he told who was the first per- soiT to do* or invent or discover many of thb things that we regard as what have always been done. Now he has a new book called “More First Facts.” I have gone through it carefully to see if Joe has found out the name of the first man who ever ate an oyster. I think it. was Dean Swift who said that that man, whoever he was, was a real hero. But Joe Kane hasn’t got did the things which are attributed to Him, “In the beginning, God created th^ heavens and the^^rth,” ' Modem science tends mor^^nd more to the. belief for which it is constantly seek ing proof, that every so-called physi cal fact is merely a manifestation or evidence of an all-pervading^ spirit. Call it God, or what you will, all life and substance, so the most advanced physicists are coming to believe, is one with all the other shapes and fonns and forces which rule creation and dominates our lives. ■n- h 1 tiitmui f une . .* Rbb RORDS bE«D Tfl hIiRI Oo^o^ foTithe hoUd«j, if you cu.

The origin of life itself is a mystery which has pot been solved. • • A great Swedish scientist, Svend Arrhenius, put forward a theory that life first came to earth in the form of spores carried through space from some distant, point in the universe. Scientists admit that may be true. The American PVofessor Compton’s discovery of ‘‘posmic rays” which bombard th^ earth from somewhere in intersellai space, suggests that such a thing is possible. When the biggest balloon ever made went up fourteen miles into the stratosjJhere, a few days ago, the ob- .servers cjinied not only instruments for detecting and measuring the cos mic rays, but apparatqs designe<i to collt'ct spores, if thele were any, in this realm l)eyond the earth’s atmos- ))here. ’ GLAD Tl DlNGS FOR A ENGLISH CO] rpEE BRAZIL WALNUTS SANTQS IGold Label NUTS -Xab*. ^... 15c 15c Lb. /' / 1 19c Lb.
