Religion In The Here And Now
By REV. NORVIN C. DUNCAN
About twenty-six years sgo a
young lady expressed to this
writer her wish that she could
pass on and discover what was
on the other side of death. My
reply was that as I had not even
begun to scratch die surface of
this life, I would like to stay
around awhile and get ac
quainted with this marvelous
world that God made, and
which spelled out so much of
God. That afternoon I went into
my backyard and discovered
272 different kinds of plant life,
and I knew that if I followed the
total history of anyone of them it
would take me to the ends of die
earth and back again. I went
into my study and wrote the
following:
I am a part of all that I
survey,
And thus akin to PEOPLE,
PLACES, THINGS.
Some part of each borders
life's highway
In measured gifts of what
each body brings.
I touch a life and that life
touches mine. ..

Touches some other part
and travels round
The world of man and
things until die whole
Is filled with life and love to
utmost bounds."

existence and nature of God
when His world is so full of Ifim:

After boasting of his prowess as a marksman, the
hunter took aim on a lone duck overhead.
"Watch this," he commanded his listeners. He fired
once and the bird flew on.
"Off with your hats, men," he said with awe, "you
are viewing a miracle. There flies a dead duck."
