A Great Fact—God Is Self-sustained

Paul Stark Seeley

The importance of the sun to human life on our earth can hardly be overestimated. Primitive races, observing the sun's indispensability to their existence, believed this mass of burning gases to be God. Without the sun's light and heat, material plant and animal life would become extinct.

Until comparatively recent times physical scientists have been unable to account for the continuing heat and energy given out by the sun with no sign of lessening or abatement. Were the sun consuming any type of fuel known on earth, it would have long ago consumed itself.

It is now recognized that what has been going on in the sun for an unknown period, and what is said by physical scientists to be capable of continuing for many eons, is the generating of nuclear energy through atomic action. Atomic energy, so new to the thought of the human race, has been producing our friendly sunshine for unnumbered ages.
