N HAS WROUGI-IT for, as the reader has provably observed, if we believe in the hereafter we can not contenance that living energy is razed but that it is rejuvenated. My belief now incorporates God's power of creation and man's power of discovery. I am no longer a fatalist but feel that we are guided, and are allowed to make discoveries. However, the ideas for our inventions must have long pre- ceeded our advent. Each century we have uncovered new wonders in our civilization and we, like sculptors modeling clay, having been given the wherewithal to combine, have striven ahead in what we term Progress. ' ' ' ' Using the gifts of God: minerals, trees, water power, heat, light, earth, plants, chemicals, and chiefly-man's mechanical, electrical, and chemical energy have been harnessed to furnish the appointments of the modern era. It is because of this advancement that I am so proud of my country. We hold the forefront in both the bestowal of natural resources and the utilization of our blessings. Because of our development we have shared the good will of other nations. Our people are happyg that is because we enjoy liberty. But now some of the friendly foreign nations have capitu- lated, and the vanquishers covet our natural wealth. Our sacrosanet ideals and morals are the very antithesis of the horrendous enormity of the antagonists, so our fatherland must be protected. I love America! I worship it, I venerate it, I revere it. Let us stand patriotically together in acclaiming to the world our appreciation of the bounty of our land. -Margaret Stainthorpe. Page 7

He was about my age and having known him, the experience was the more realistic. My mind was in the formative period, and this episode regretably instilled in me the first and foremost religion of my life. The boy's back was broken and his skull fractured. He writhed in convulsions. Gasping for life one moment, he was motionless in death the next. I had never before witnessed in such propinquity a life being snuffed out, and the awful- ness lay in the inability of man to alter his fate. A doctor of medicine, whose mission in the world was to lighten pain, stood helplessly by as did a doctor of divinity, summoned to relieve the sorrow of the occasion. Those keenest, most bene- ficient ministers to mortal wounds viewed as minute spectators the mighty drama conducted by the hand of God. Matter can be neither created nor destroyed. That is not so. In the beginning God created heaven and earth. Every 4 i 'W wg A 4 'tags Ka f s T sf t +292 M31 I it J Wfi ' 1 I fi 1+ 'ms . ,ff . M, iv V a ss if is 1, -asa?

Similarly false is 'fEnergy can be neither created nor de- stroyed, for each new life brings living energy, and with the annihilation of that life it is destroyed. By saturating my mind with these arguments I have been' an orthodox fatalist, believing every action of man pre- destined, and every contrary effort futile. Others have endeavored to disprove my convictions and though they haven't altogether succeeded, I have found some evidence contradictory to the aforesaid reasoning. Godzs own words falsify my theory disbclieving the law of Conservation of Matter : he said to Adam, For dust thou art, and unto dust thou shalt return. Regarding my hypothesis against conservation of energy, it would seem that I have neglected my faith in immortality, Page 6

Americas' Firs 4.,: ' A 'I Knowledge, the seed of a full, rich, abundant life is instituted in the multi- tude of American schools. The blackening and disintegration of far off institutions of knowledge tends to brighten and bring forth the everlasting necessity of such institutions of advanced Page H. s. BUILDING THE AMERICAN learning here in our own country. While the modern schools of our coun- try offer unlimited progress in intellect and convenience, the old countries are demolishing and blotting out of existence the swelling desire for knowledge.
