The World Will Come to Know You A crowd of young people went to the country in search | ing flowers. They found a field filled with blossoms | kinds.

CHARLES STELZLE Staff Writer on Religious Topics for The Star, Many are sincere in their “unbelief"—but here are half a dozen reasons why most men don't believe im “God and religion.” FIRST—They wilfully reject whatever light comes to them, with the result that soon all Nght will be shut out from them. This is an inexorable law of nature. | SECOND—They are ignorant of what the teaches. They have never studied it, largely | they foolishly imagined that religion “strikes” —like lightning, instead of coming to him in @ per fectly normal way, as a result of honest thought, THIRD—They prefer the honor which comes from men—such as political, social and business advance ment, often obtained thru the sacrifice of moral prim ciples—rather than the honor which comes from God only. It is pride which shuts out belief. FOURTH—They lack faith. They will accept only that which they can see and feel and handle. They ‘are purely materialistic. They refuse to accept tl testimony of credible witnesses who have exp the deep joys of religion. They insist that there be no intelligence or experience beyond their which in pure conceit. FIFTH—They are living a life of sin, which @ are unwilling to forsake. They love “darkness than light, because their deeds are evil.” : SIXTH—They are putting off the day of decision for s more convenient time, forgetting that passing day makes it harder to “believe.” And this Jast class is in the most perilous position of all | They do not reject religion, nor are they ‘i nor is it @ matter of pride, nor do they lack faith, nor are they immersed in sin—they are simply walt ing, they know not what for. a N How Much is 1 Suppose that for one cent you could in- sure the quality of your cake, biscuits, etc., wouldn’t that be real economy?
