The Goderich Signal-Star, 1971-03-11, Page 9From the Minister's study REV. ARTHUR MAYBURYi B.A., B.D. First Baptist Church Montreal Street The case of the missing link Science is a wonderful thing. It has discovered many truths 4p. and created .manY theories. Most important, science has created many things to make our lives 'better.' , Melvin hat earned his ph,,p. in bio-chemistty and was in his tenth year of work, on the wobtf$4.01!„.-.4 zKowggft4'•1,''z*ogr, to see the way the various, hormones altered the development of the embryo. It Was almost . miraculous. In his ten years he had found nothing except More hormones 'and parts of hormones that made the big • difference. • , Melvin wariPdzzled. Science had found D.NA. which they knew was the basic element of iife. They . ha'd synthesiied it, precisely ... but it was not alive. Something was missing. After many man-hour years and many millions of dollars science was still in the same spot. Predictions came thick and fast, but new insight., came very slowly. Melvin was stumped. In his home one day, Melvin * casually reached for a book, without looking and settled down to read. There was a bookmark almost at the front, wher It read "In the beginning..." This was something new for . Melvin, Perhaps impossible!! • ' • • Two weeks later, just a week 'attention • was caught by a voice on the radio. It was saying', "Jim ran over' to the schoolyard to find his- friends,: but when he got to the place he saw a large, dirty, • dark factory full lof working ehildren - even on Christmas Day.. 'The sign readt,"If He had • not. come.'" e. Melvin was puzzled, but hurried on. , • WILLIAMS • 7.CEMIETERY MEMORIALS And Inscriptions • Stratford -- Ontario J %maid C. filleCallywm Representative. _ 215 Wellington St.54, thiderich •Phone 524-6272 or 524-7345 4 • At the office, Melvin found a piece of paper on the floor.

That night, Melvin*drearned. He saw a, brilliantly dazzling, blinding'light. He saw a• Person that was not human, nor could He be fully looked at. Melvin awoke, terrified. For the first time in his life he prayed. Now Melvin was at peace. He knew the answer. Where science had failed, revelation had shone forth successfully.
