Safety from hazardous wastes

Those concerned with transport and storage of hazardous wastes warn that industrialized nations must soon come to grips with handling these substances more carefully, so as to avoid serious danger to lives and property.

If we believe that man is a finite mortal, living in fragile matter, subject to myriad evils, the possibility of accident or poisoning may provoke fear. But to whatever degree we have perceived our real nature to be spiritual—the man with dominion created and sustained by God—we will be able to exempt ourselves and others from such dangers.

Confidence in the allness of God and fine-honed spiritual sense show us the possibilities of defusing threatening situations, whether they appear in our own backyards or thousands of miles away.
