In some ways, it ought to be easier for this generation to have faith than any generation of the past⎯for many reasons⎯for we have seen so many seeming miracles⎯miracles that man, by using nature’s laws, has brought about. Other generations didn’t have so much evidence of the unseen sights and sounds, the unseen realities that are all around us. Other generations couldn’t talk to distant loved ones with wires⎯or without wires. Other generations couldn’t push a button and have the sights and sounds of all the earth immediately in focus before them. Yet those sights and sounds were always there. Other generations didn’t have the evidence of computers that could keep records of billions of people, in almost infinite detail. Other generations couldn’t see and hear men on the moon. And when we see what man with his limited knowledge has been able to do in using some of the laws of nature, some of the laws of life, it should be much easier to understand how an Infinite Mind, an Infinite Administrator the God of creation, could communicate with the prophets, could inspire the poets, could give promptings, warnings, guidance, help to people personally; could implant ideas and op the understanding to the sincere searcher. It should be easier for us to understand the possibilities of communication with the Infinite; the possibility, the power, the reality of prayer. “More things are wrought by prayer than this world dreams of,”1 as Tennyson said it. It should be easier for us to understand that an everlasting record is and can be kept. It should be easier for us to understand the limitless possibilities of life, by attuning ourselves to the Divine Source.


1 Alfred Tennyson, Morte dArthur
