Rev. Philip S. Moxom D.D. of Boston spoke at the Christian Association Meeting in Holden Chapel last evening.

The civilization of man has increased as his power over the physical world has become greater. His history is strictly along the lines of the development of his power. At first, the great strange forces of nature, which were inexplicable to him, he deified and worshipped. But latter, by subduing these, he was able to develop the capacity of his intellect. Man has become so bewildered by recent inventions that he has said that the limit of his power has been reached; but the limit of his power has not yet been reached nor will it ever be reached-for it is undoubtedly infinite.

Through all his development of power he has learned several lessons. The principles of economy-power unused is power lost-have been instilled into his mind and great strides in the intellectual side of his nature have been made. He has discovered that knowledge is power until now education has become a household word. He has learned that goodness is also power and that it is even a greater power than intellect.

The practical side of this is that every man is related in certain ways to nature and his fellow-men. Most of them have to put to use the great forces of nature in order that they may earn their bread; but the world today does not want great capitalists, great scientists, great specialits, great professors, or even great theologians, but what it does want is great men who have their own spiritual sensibilities developed and who come into contact with their fellow-men is spiritual beings leading a spiritual life.
