THREE PS OF SUCCESS Babson Discusses -The C. E. D. Group By Roger W. Babson Babson Park, Mass., July 7. ? Watches without springs, motors without gas, or . loc ks without keys are of little use. This is the eituatlon today with the Com mittee on Eco nomic Develop ment and moat committees which are study ing postwar em ployment plans. It also explains one trouble with our schools and BABSON colleges. The committees and colleges are neglecting the spirit ual urge which the Prophet Isaiah wrote about in the first three ver ses of his Chapter 31. WHAT CHURCHES NEED Springs without machines, gas without motors and keys without locks are, likewise, of little use. This is the situation today with most churches and preachers. They fail to emphasize the scien tific basis for their teachings and also fail to apply spiritual power to practical everyday life. Any religion which does not express itself in right living and social relations is of little use. ? The postwar planning commit tees and present-day educational and religious institutions need to recognize both the importance of Fplrltual power and just social re lations. To continue to ignore buch will certainly result in 10, 000,000 to 15,000,000 unemploy ed in tfce U. S. after the short postwar boom is over. MATERIAL POWER NOT ENOUGH Land, labor and capital are ma terial; while integrity, initiative and inspiration are spiritual pow ers. They may either be inheri ted or acquired; but at all hazards they must be recognized in suc cessful planning. This applies both to national planning and to the planning of our own personal lives as individuals. Even land, labor and capital can be used to destroy or to con struct, according to the integrity, initiative and inspiration of those who have the land, labor and capital. Hence, I call these three spiritual powers the "Three I's Ot Success." I have in mind both individual and national success. SPIRITUAL VS RADIO WAVES When discussing the above ? with industrialists and labor lead ers, they agree with my state ments; but they come back to me as follows: ? "How can this spir itual power ? or God's Rays as you call it ? be developed and har nessed? It is not enough for preachers, priests and rabbis to talk about it; let them show us how to get it and use it." It is probably true that we have gen eralized too much and too long about spiritual, power. The time has come to be practical. C. F. Kettering ? Vice President in charge of Research of General Motors ? once brought to my at tention that electricity was talked about as faj back as 2.60TD years ago. It was in 600 B. C. that a Greek philosopher, Thales of Miletus, found that by rubbing amber he could develop a force to pick up straws. Even 300 years ago experiments were made by William Gilbert in England and Von Guerecke in Germany which caused electricity to be talked about as the "coming pow er." Yet nothing practical was attempted until Franklin flew, his kite in 1746 and Faraday built his toy motor in 1825. Then came Morse with his telegraph, Bell with the telephone, Edison with his lamp and Marconi with radio waves. ENCOURAGE SPIRITUAL ADVENTURES It truly seems that the har nessing of spiritual waves ? the seeds of integrity, initiative and inspiration ? is where electricity was 100 years ago. It so, the greatest need of the postwar era is to teach peopje where to find spiritual power and how to use it. (Mind you! This does not necessarily mean describing what it is. We do not even yet know what electricity is. We, howev er, do know how to generate it and use it.) T|?e Open Church Movement ? In which I am greatly interested Is a step In this direction.

D. Buchman are all talking about Spiritual Power and what it can do. The great need, however, 1b for carefully planned and executed laboratory data which will command greater res pect than mere words. JUNE GRADUATES ATTENTION Those writ have just graduated from high schools and colleges should especially heed t h? thoughts I have presented. You may have got marks of 100% iu every subject and still be as use less as "sounding brass or a tink ling cymbal." You may well find yourselves priceless watches with out springs, twelve-cylinder mo tors without gas or burglar-proof locks without keys. In fact, I feel so strongly about this entire matter that I believe he greatest of all postwar needs is a spiritual awakening. If so. we all should make our primary tack the discovering of methods jf harnessing God's Rays which are now all about us but practi cally unused. Then the greatest changes ahead may not be in connection with aviation of las tics or chemistry but in connec tion with those intangible forces which develop integrity, initiative and inspiration. Eating Place Ceilings Raleigh, July 6. ? A new cell ing price regulation covering practically all public eating and drinking establishments will go into effect on July 31, Theodore S.
