We
read in Genesis that "in the beginning" God's fiat, "Let there be light," went forth with the inevitable result that "there was light"! From then until now this same command of God has been sounding its awakening note, since enlightenment is always needed everywhere.
THE
temptation often comes to mortals to believe that God's work is yet incomplete, and that by petition or supplication divine purpose and action may be changed, the better to fulfill human desire in the supplying of what seems to be a human need.
