DOING SOMETHING ABOUT THE WEATHER

WILLIAM TAMES HAY

"Everybody talks about the weather, but nobody does anything about it," Charles Dudley Warner said. The common belief of mortals is that divine power is often of little avail in human affairs.

In the seventy-eighth Psalm we find set forth many wonders wrought by God in the daily living of the children of Israel while on their way to the Promised Land. The sea was divided; a cloud went before them by day and a pillar of fire by night; water came from rock; and manna fell. The Psalmist also declared that the Israelites "spake against God; they said, Can God furnish a table in the wilderness?"

Commenting on the foregoing passage of Scripture, Mary Baker Eddy, the Discoverer and Founder of Christian Science, writes in "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" (p. 135): "There is to-day danger of repeating the offence of the Jews by limiting the Holy One of Israel and asking: 'Can God furnish a table in the wilderness?' What cannot God do?"
