The firet showed pret- ty Weenes GmMONg bBig oyprées trees and the life of the natives living there, and thé sécond réel pictures viidly the work of the ienary améng the savage tribes~of the South Sea itlands. how through the influence of thest Godly workérs lives were transtormed from savagery to Christian living. A brief talk was given between the reels by General Becretary Edwin Hill on the Subject of Power. and In pafl the speaker Baid: . We #tand amazed in the presence of the great POwer all arolnd us. Whe wouid have thought that from the experi- mefit with a tea kettle the wonderful power would ever be developed to iis present capacity; how many millions of factories and billions of wheels are run- ning because of steam; floating nalaces cross the ogean by this wonderful power. Ben Franklin little dreamed that his simple experiment with his kite would lead to suth marvelous development of electrieity ; it would take houts to tell of what 1b DeiRg aeeomplished bacause of this great pewer. As we lodk upon the little acorn, an Apparently dead thing, we canrot méasure the possibilities wrapped up within it, and yet after a while we look upoh the great onk tree. wonderful things are being wrought by the péwer of water; in recent years the great Niagara has been harnessed and now servés millions of people. All of theke thihgm and many thers are sug- gestions of great power; we say see what men have accomplished. but Almighty God is responsible for these powers. God made them and man simnly discovered them. In the book of Genesis a very significant statement s this: God said Jet it be, and it wak s0: “let there be light,” le”theté be a firmament, “let the waters come tozether,” “lét the earth bring forth” and “it was 6. Finally God estid “Let us make man in our own image” and man was sb ereitad. Wa think of the Wonderful muchinery we have, and it 18 truly wondaitui, bat when we read that “man is featfully and won- derfully made” we begin 13 think 6f tur bodies, and how wonderful 't 13 in ali its L parts: the muscles, the netves, tha boves, %0 delicately put togéthér, and yet inie human machine, the body, works without friction it only we otey the laws of its maker, fof many, many years; “how can, A harp with a thousand strings be kept in tund so long?" “The mecret is that God made it. Of all the great powers In' the world, tha greatest, it seems to me, is that power of Giod whieh transforme hu- man life, chahges a human brute into a geéntlemgn. We say we have tried again and again to break away from a debasing habit but we canndt suceeed ;~the reason We fail is that we try alone. If only we take God into our lives we can overcome every évil hadit to which human flesh is heir. Robert W. Otis, Jr., officiated at the plano both for the singing and the pie- tures.
