IN dealing with the history of the world's progress and development, literature is rich with the courageous efforts of men to discover new lands, greater fields of expansion, more freedom of thought, and, above all, new opportunities to develop the highest concepts of living. Thus today we have a picture of the world almost totally discovered geographically, and we may be inclined to think that in this sense the human race has nothing more to discover.
Yet one of the great incentives to happiness and endeavor is the natural desire of mankind to find something new and fresh, and consequently inspiring. How, then, is this urge finding expression in the human economy? Desire for newness always has had, and ever will have, expression.
But where is this search being externalized? There are other realms than those of which the physical senses are cognizant. We may go farther in this inquiry and ask, Are we willing to see something more than the picture before us today; are we indeed longing to supplant the physical sense of a tired and dispirited world for one of light and loveliness, beautiful to spiritual vision?
