dministration The Tragedy of Unused Resources One of the most impressive facts of history is the poverty of man in -a world surcharged with immeasureable power. The power was there but man had not discovered it. Steam was in existence the first day of primitive man boiled fish in a rude pail on a heap of burning wood. For centuries he went on boil- ing fish and meat. For centuries the steam rose from the boiling pail but man continued doing all the work of the world with his own hands. Here was the steam all about him Waiting to do his work, to multiply his powers ten thousand fold, but he went on riding on clumsy wagons behind slow bullocks. Or, again, the world was surcharged with electricity in the days of primi- tive man just as it is today. For centuries the universe has been packed with it calling man to harness it and let it be a giant to extend the powers of his speech around the world. A few years ago l stood before the pyramids in Egypt. As I looked at those monuments of massive stones, l recalled that it took thousands of men years to build them. Several dozen might have built them in a relatively short time by using an electric motor or a steam engine. lmmeasurable resources, but man ignorant of them. But, the most amazing thing in history is the reluctance of man to increase his stature and capacity for power by siezing on these great resources when they did become known to him. Long after steam was invented thousands of men still insisted on working their own looms. There are lands today where the people know of steam and electricity but refuse to utilize them. They are content to live as weaklings in the midst of resources that would make them great and strong. However, the same thing is happening in even more astonishing measure here and now. lt must be the most pathetic thing the eyes of God ever looked upon that with all we profess to know and have, that we live in a world where vast spiritual resources have been released and we fail to utilize them. All about us in the world are thousands of persons living weak impoverished lives while the world is packed with riches - every bush aflame with God. It is shameful to be weak when we might be strong, to be ineffective when the need requires that we should be dynamic and powerful. - President Ernest E. Miller Page 15
