IJY IN G WATER
"Everyone that drinketh ot this
water shall thirst again" . . .
It is not difficult to find traces of
this thirst in the faces of those
whom we meet day by day.
As we gaze upon the faces of the
passing people, it is only now and
again that we see a face which is
indicative of peace.
We are confronted with an
abounding unrest. Vocabulary to
portray the condition is varied, to
say the least: "unrest," "discon
tended," "dissatisfied."
Let us think of people who are
victims of consuming thirst. There
iv the great army of men and wo
men who are consumed by the fev
er of worry.
There is little calm about their
life. They have no time of cool re
flection. Their life is a fever from
morning till night.
This fever, at times is the result
of a chill. The wind of bad news
can chill us in the midst of a feast
Subsequent worry issues in spirit
ual feverishness.
There are those who are domi
nated by the lust of bliss. "As the
heart panteth after the water
brooks, so panteth my soul after
thee, O pleasure !" These souls are
always thirsting after new sensa
tions.
There sire those who are scorched
with the desire of casual passion.
The soul imprisoned in a temple of
carnality is stricken with an inde
ocribable thirst.
There are those who hold the
smoldering fire of dull indiffer
ence. They often call their rest
lessness by another name, but its
proper name is spiritual thirst.
Finally, there are those who are
burdened with the sense of sin, and
who are possessed by a fervent
longing for the living Gctf.
How do men seek to relieve their
thirst? They are weary in their wor
ry; they are tired in their pleas
ures; they are sick in their pas
sions. Too often resort is made to
the "waters of the earth "
Many people try to allay a spirit
ual thirst by a carnal draught.
Others attempt to realize satis
faction and peace by immersing
themselves in stimulants like the
manifold pleasures of society. Yet
they "thirst again."
Others plunge more deeply into
business. They seek for more gold
and yet the soul refuses to be ap
peased, and "thirst again."
Or we can give opiates to our dis
quieted and feverish souls. Many
find satisfaction in referring to
their intentions. But their satisfact
ion is only temporary. They are
thirsty still.
Many feel they are becoming
better because they severely con
demn themselves. All these are
pitiable evasions.
Let lis turn to Jesus. "He would
have given thee living water." The
Master brings the gift of spiritual
energy. He gives us spiritual forces
that refresh and vitalize, that re
store and maintain.
"Whosoever drinketh . . Shall
never thirst." It is an eternal ener
gy. There is desire, but no despair

There's More To Boom lighting
Than Meets The Eye!
Lighting Is more than a means
e seeing after dark. With new
equipment and new developments,
ycu can now use It for setting that
?just right atmosphere" for the
home's many activities.
With modern lighting, you can
create mood changes in a room
make it festive or Intimate? With
the flick of a switch. Tou can use
round or oval pools or long, thin
lines of light in your decorative
3cheme. The trick is to pick the
type of lighting you want and to
install the lighting equipment to
provide it.
Ready-made strip units, conceal
cd spot lights, and a choice of
bulbs in several colors are just a
few of the items that can be in
stalled without expensive remodel
r.g. A recent innovation that makes
mood lighting readily available
is the control unit which can be
used to dim or brighten all the
lights in a room. Dimmers are par
ticularly popular for dining rooms
01 party rooms.
Another recent device that has
many uses is the pole lamp. This
consists of a floor to ceiling pole
with three or more lights at
tached. Swivel joints allow each
light to be directed down for read
ing or toward the wall or ceiling
for lighting a large area. This fix
ture. which plugs into an outlet
just as any other lamp, is especial
ly attractive for a corner of the
foyer, the dining room, or in the
corner of the living room for read
ing.
S.mple ready-made strip fixtures
are easily installed on closet ceil
ings, under kitchen wall cabinets,
over bathroom mirrors, or over a
desk or work bench. There is also a
strip fixture for use over the head
of a bed.
?rnese and other new develop
ments in lighting have been speed
ed up by the recognition that dif
ferent types of lighting are need
ed for different activities in the
home. For example, for playing
bridge, reading, preparing meals,
3r working at a desk, you need a
high degree of concentrated light.
But your lighting can be softer and
more diffused for listening to mus
dancing, conversation, or dining.
Now, with winter just ahead, is
good time to experiment with var
ious lighting cffects and to brighten
up dark comers. A few colored
bulbs for decorative effect, a light
ing strip under kitchen wall cabi
nets or in a dark closet, a new lamp
for reading, and, above all, enough
lamp bulbs of the right size can
make all the difference in the en
joyment of your home on long win
ter evenings.

?OPE III A WUTNIX AQK
low, scientist* have been turning
rnan's attention on htamelf.
They have turned hie (ue la
ward, downward, and in the case
jf psychiatry, even backward,
rheae science* of psychology, biol
ogy and sociology are good in them
?elves.
But these have tended to make
man self centered and even mater
ialistic.
Suddenly now, the orientation
las shifted and the shift may prove
lot only healthy but even holy.
From ancient times the contem
plation of the stars has led men to
ipeculation about God. Contempla
ion of ourselves, particularly on a
itudious, scientific basis such as
hat which characterizes so much
nodern psychology and sociology,
s necessarily depressing stuff. And
vithout the grace of God, could
ead to despair.
That seems to be precisely what
las happened.
The new age of science, using
elescopes instead of microscopes
ind gazing out into God's clear
ipace instead of back into our own
nurky psychological depths, may
et fresh air Into modern thought.
In such air it may be easier for
he Spirit of God to evoke more
?eady response. Astronomy, the
>rospect of interplanetary studies
-and even journeys? these are far
?emoved from the introspective
iroodings and negative agnosticism
which were the frequent by-pro
iucts of the recent sciences gone
? seed.
These new directions in science
?nay easily recapture the mood of
mingled joy and reverence in which
:he psalmist wrote: "I look up at
!hose heavens of Thine, the work
if Thy hands, at the moon and the
?tan. which Thou kti set la (Mr
pi*ce?; what is man that Thou
ttbouldjt rcmunber him? What la
?dam 'a bread, that It ahoaU claim
Thy care? Thou haa placed Mm
only a little below the angel*
crowning him with glory and hon
or, and bidding him rule over the
worka at Thy hand!"
Thia mood at mingled awe, yet
joy, in the face of a universe open
ing before ua, haa already aat in.
Perhaps it will prove a natural
predisposition to supernatural
faith. It is a mucn more healthy
atmosphere for religion than that
at least, of the world of science
which has dominated some corners,
since Darwin and Freud!
This mood 1s more likely to prove
the greater, rather than narrow- *
ly "humanistic" u any man-center
ed, materialistic sense.
It is the mood in which a new '
St. Bonaventure or Don Scotus
could talk to us of the Christocen
tric universe. It is the mood of a
generation with its eyes not invert
ed toward the depths, shallow or
profound, of its own self, but on the
stars and the glory of our heaven
ly Father.
