In his second' letter to the Joiinthians, Chapter 4 verses 16'and 18, Paul wrote,,`Though )ur outward man perish, yet .he inward man is renewed day day.•,,,While,.we look, not at .he things, which are seen,• but it. the things , which are not gen; ,for the things .which are een are temporal; but the hirigs which are.not seen are +ternal.' By . the 'outward man' Paul means of course our physical ,ody. By the 'things which- are tee'n' he means the world wound. us. The things which :an •beweighed and meastlred. During the past few decades?, nan has looked very intently ld )n the 'things which are seen'. He has examined them every mrefully, and has been able with great skill to solve many a( nature s. mysteries. Man- made satellites circle in outer - ;pace; men have landed 'on the moon and examined its surface watched by people on the earth. Almost anything seems possible in this wonderful age. of Discovery! The wildest flights of imagination of men like Jules Verne and H. G. Wells are now becoming commonplace. Sub- • marines like the Nautelus can navigate beneath the ice of ythe North Pole. Airplanes carry hundreds of passengers across the Atlantic Ocean in a matter bf hours. On land and sea, and .ay kin,the air man has conquered 7:00 p.m. in the church time, and distance no longer basement ,w.as.dol awed by,,a .. separates the continents of the service in the auditorium world.

Scientists cannot produce a serum which injected into a ' man would • mike him morally, better. It might,_•resto'e his health; but not his 'soul. , 'No. matter ,how fast •a man travels it will not make him a good man. It merely, gives a wicked man greater scope for his wickedness by giving him the means to do it faster and further afield. Science never has; and never, will touch the soul of man. Only Jesus has the key., to unlock the mysteries of man's nature; the 'inward man' of which Paul writes. * Only Jesus can save man from his moral illnesses and diseases. Only Jesus can save man from the evil in his heart. Man's greatest need is that ,renewedday by day. It as -when men begin to look not only' at the things which are seen, but at the things whichare not seen,–.that moral -progress is made. Surely that is, the roost vital andurgent need of today. What does it profit man that he can. land on the inoozh, or project satellites into outer space, if he loses his soul? We shout, have a sense of gratitude and thankfulness to God, the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, that He has given us this great gift of life. We should so live that though our outward ,man perish, our inward man` is renewed day by day.
