for man.
It is sometimes difficult to realize that the very
swiftest thing in the known universe is a thought
which has its inception in that little ivory tower which
sits atop the human structure and is indeed a universe
in itself. A thought may spring full fledged or half
baked from one man’s brain and instantly it reaches
its goal. It does not even deal in split seconds of time.
It is instantaneous and time and space seem to offer
no barriers to its flight. Sound, light, a flash of lightning, the flight of a comet across the midnight sky,
all of these represent slow transit when compared with
the speed of one thought, starting from the little ivory
tower, and reaching its goal perchance in the outer
realms of space without an instant’s delay. Perhaps
considering these facts, we should be sure that our
thoughts are worthy ones before we give them wings.
In every human accomplishment thought leads
the way, and in this atomic age one may almost hear
these creatures of the mind as:they fly now here, now
there, speeding the momentous decisions which must
be made. The. atomic age is here and to some it may
appear as the ultima thule of man’s endeavors, but
that cannot be for the thoughts of man are adventurous

riddle of the universe has been solved; she rests her

seeks to keep about them. Don’t they sometimes go
There are no barriers that can successfully bar

will not rest until the tree of knowledge is divested of
its last apple of knowledge and more and more of
nature's forces have been harnessed and made subThere came a time in the history of man when
he wished to know more of the world in which he
found himself, so he turned to the book of nature and
