to improve on what they had abeady done, and to 

 learn new things. 



What but the Spirit of God implanted in those 

 men, and the loving care of God in helping them to 

 follow that Spirit, could have led them so far along 

 from the state of the early, savage man? With 

 those simple tools, the chipped and sharpened 

 stones, and the fire that they had learned to make, 

 these lake-dwellers had done all this! 



It was from beginnings like these of the early men 

 that we have come to be what we are. And as we 

 ourselves train our hands and our minds to make the 

 best use of the materials and forces that are all 

 about us, we shall always be finding new ways and 

 new materials, so that we, too, shall bless all those 

 who come after us to this wonderful world that God 

 has made.
