the direction of Neerell Wimberly,
now a high ranking officer in the
army. Fallowing the departure of
Wimberly the Interest died, although
two years ago there was a revival
when a young lady faculty member
who had played in the Winthrop band
brought forth an alert smart playing

that we have generalised too much
and too long about spiritual power.
The time has come to be practical.
I C. F. Kettering—vice president in
charge, of research of General Motors
— once brought-to my attention thnt
electricity was talked about as far
back as 2,500 years ago. It was in
600 B. C. that a Greek philosopher,
Thales of Miletus, found that by rub
bing amber he could develop a force
to pick up straws. Even 300 years
ago experiments were made by Wil
liam Gilbert in England * and. '1^
Guerecke in Germany which caused
electricity to be talked about as the
"coming power.” Yet nothing practi
cal was attempted until Franklin flew
his kite in 1746 and Faraday built his
toy motor in 1826. Then came Morse
with his telegraph, Bell with the tele
phone, Edison with his lamp and
Marconi with radio waves.
It truly seems that the harnessing
of spiritual waves—the seeds of In-
te^ltv, ThTtTative and inspiration—Is
where electricity was lOQ years ago.
If so. the greatest need of the post
war ear is to teach people where to
find spiritual power and how to use
It. (Mind you! This does not neces
sarily mean describing what it is.
We do not even yet know what elec
tricity is. We, however, do know how
,to generate it and use it.)
I The open church movement—in
which I am greatly interested—is a
step in this*direction. Its purpose is
to get people into churches alone bv
themselves not only on Sundays but
at any time during the week when
they feel the need for private medita
tlon and prayer. ThejChristlan Science
church, the New Thought associa
tions, the ITnlty groups, the Dally
Meditation centers at San Antonia
and elsewhere and Dr. Frank N. D.
Btlchman are all talking about'SpTrItu
al Power and what it can do. The
great need, however, is for carefully
planned and executed laboratory data!
which will command greater respecti
than mere words. '
I Those- who have Just graduated
from high schools and colleges should
especially heed the thoughts 1 have
presented. You may have got marks
of 100 i>er cent In every subject and
still be as useless as "sounding brass
or a tinkling cymbal." You may well
find yourself priceless watches with-
out springs, 12-cylinder motors with-
out gas or burglar-proof locks without-
keys.
In fact, I feel se strongly about thia
entire matter that I believe the great
est of all postwar needs is a spirituaU ’
awakening. If so, we all should make
our primary task th« discovering of
methods of harnessing God’s Raya
which are now ail about us but prac
tically unused. Then the greatest
changes ahead may not be in connec-
