Loolung at a derrick, man is conscious ot his n power, and rightly proud of his 1l1t1es, but when his eyes are lifted up, and his gaze falls on the clean, soaring lines of the cathedral, all externals fall away, and he, the creature, raises his heart gladly to his Creator. In the natural realm, the industry which is built around the oil derrick can be a powerful force for good because by utilizing the combined abilities and talents of many men, it draws them together, making them strong in their companionship. Since it requires conscious effort, since it demands individual sacrifice to be a member of any organi- zation, a great industry such as the oil business necessarily draws forth a Spirit of cooperation from all who are part of it. Bv restraining the individuality of people iust a little, SuCh an Organization is able to draw harmony from fx what would otherwise have been chaos, to make the ' mv effort of many effective because they are combined, ff, - , ' gy instead of frustratingly futile because they are so c,f ' ' C Ce Q? 58 limited.
