They had not only great plans
but they put forth the energy to
bring them to realization. Having
resolved to build a city with a
large tower, they set to work. They
builded a city that surpassed all
others. They build such a tower
as had not been seen before. Yet
in the main their undertaking was
a failure, because the result was
not good. For instead of remaining
a united people they were
one from the other. The
that they had dreamed
themselves became a type
We can see more truth
than the people of that far
could see. For we today have
builded our cities, we have built
our towers. We have used science
in almost everyway. We can see
surely that knowledge can be used
for good or it can be used for evil.
We know even better than those
ancient people, that while sancti
fied science can help to build a
heaven, yet, it is just as true that
science put to the wrong use can
make a lot of short cuts which
only create more hell for human
beings. Progress to be of any value
must be in the right direction. 11

we are certain that much in life
is heading man in that direction,
it would be best to use the oxcart,
the mode of the ancients, than the
high-powered vehicle or airplane,
the mode of the modern man.
Now since we have recognized
the fact that these ancient builders
blundered, it would be well f~.
to examine their history
wherein they failed.
for us
to see
They did not fail because of the
nature of the undertaking. It was
daring for them to seek to find
neaven in the here and now, but
such an idea was not foolish. The
greatest seers of history have
shared this same dream. Even
Jesus possessed the same idea. He
believed that contact with the
Kingdom of God, which he called
heaven, was possible in this pres
en tlife. He taught his disciples to
pray, “Thy Kingdom Come on
earth as it is in heaven.” He also
said, “The Kingdom of God is
within you.”
No these people did not fail be

unworthy. Neither did they fail
because of lack of effort. They did
not offer mere lip service to the
cause. They were great dreamers,
but they did more than dream.

His parents want him to love music ... to find in it the beauty and
strength that others have discovered ... to make it an enrichment of
his life.
And this banging on the keys is the first step. Already he loves the
sounds his tiny fingers can command.
Thoughtful parents! But there are richer blessings in life than music.
There are spiritual chords that touch the depths of the human soul, and call
forth the noblest that is in man. And these, too, must be discovered in
childhood!
The simple religious truths that a youngster learns in Sunday School
are the keys that turn life’s discord into harmony. W ise parents begin
with the Church in planning their children s lives and iheir own lives
also.
