In thes* of rood*™ trchnotofj, wc again look to the heavms as
we utilize oor God-given source—the snn_as oor natural sypph of
warmth, comfort, and power. Of course, the sun has been there al along.
Humankind hud onlr to discover methods by which to magnify its power
ia order to daim it.
St® looking heavenward, we find Mother sourct-oae of auifiai
warmth and courfort much more powerful than the sun. We could coin a
new phrase—^souTar power. The Maker is God, but vou must believe in
His power to dahu it and worship Him regularly to magnify its strength.
Remember, the difference between solar power and ar power is
IT. Worship this week. The former wffl heat your home. The latter wffl
warm your heart.
