Today we, are concerned with the American and Russian empires and the threat of conflict. Nations risc to power, others are crowded and beaten into 5ubmission. The conquest changes the way of life and 'the reaction to life but the nattern remains the same. New powers, new conquests, new promises of peace and then ajiother cycle of the siame. What is peace? We do an in- justice to our dead if ail we do is look back andi reflect on the glor- lesand agoni*es of the past. We ouglit not to be niakhing the sanie old mnistakes. We pray for peace, we hope for peace but keep on doingu that whieh snust inevitably rIesuit in war.

When Apollo 8 in lun-ar orbit televigcd for us the awesome for- lom beauty of the face of the moon4 Colonel Borman saiti, "Ap- ollo 8 ha-s a message for you." The crew rend the opening, verses of the tbook of Genesis about the creation of the earth andi closeti wîbh the verse "Andi Gad cafleti the dry landi eawth and the gath- ering of the, waters caikUd 1He the seuas, andi God eaw that it was good." 'It was; said, 'This flight was an, aceomplishqnent of the squares, These mien lad crew hair cuts, uset side rules and reïat the Bible. They were being compared wàth people who rebel,, destroy things, mnake a gljamorous case for shirking responsibility and ac- complishl their greatest trips by the use of drugs. It was an ac- coniplishment for thLe "squares." Momients after the crew, read the verses from Genesis, a Japan- esýe newspaper mam telephoneti thc N.A.S3.A., news roem in lîus- ton to ask someone to reati a tansoript of thec message. The of- ficer askcd, "Where are you?" The Japanese replied, "I'm in my hotel room." Then lie was tolt wfiere to look ini the Gide-on Bible which lay in the bottosi drawer of the dresser. The Japajiesc news- man exolaimed, "N.A.S.A. publc affairs very efficient. Supply ex- act transeript ri*glt in hotel roosi." Here is a (lack of under- standing of the grcatness of God and tle'Blyle. Few of usreajze ow up to diate the Bible is. W<htever is happening in the news, the Bible, la its' finest sense, was there a- head wiith its mnessage. -When mien for the first time saw the earth from the depths of fpace ns a ionely flboating planet, sm'aIl, blue andi beautiful in ai eternal silence and neyer ending colti, Colonel Bormn said, "The view of thle earth from the moon, fasmiteti me. Rt was liard te think thnt thaît little- thing Iield s0 many prob- Jenmr, frustrations, raging nation- ahistie intercsts, famin 'es, warS, pe6tlË,,ece. From eut theirc it really is one wor1d", 'andi that's wihat (lotiintended Aitotebe. But, man is always the destroyer and the divider. Wiien the men of Apollo il con- quered their step in space, theY- ]ninded os the moos. lt was trulY' aniazing, fantastie, astousding wlhat ±ook place before aur eyes§ and cars. lt was another step in man's g4orious conquest of outer space.. Now that man lias conquereti outer space lic needs to casquer inner space. Forinodem Man know;s more about the exiterior of the moon Vlan lie dees about the interior of the soul. What do we know abotut the length, brcadth andi dcpth of.the l 'ove of, Goti?. What effort do we put intio fLM- the greatest power in the world? What efort do wie put into finti- ing eut '? Do we pasic when there is a ticat silence in a crowd? If we do flot know how to use sil- ence, we will net leams liow te use inser spnoe. laser space means that thexe is ,a universe betwe'es Goti and man. Even thsougli wc say that God is ai around us andi within us, there is stiii a unaverge betwesn man andi Get. Te conquer innoer space means te feea the presence of ýGoti tebe in conini no wtli H We are Vo conquer thils space that dàvides' us. H3ow can this be donc? First iýt takes preparation.

The Bible says it wasn'ýI i~n ail the commotion tha± God spoke. It was after the storm. He was heard in "the stll sinali voice." The Bible says, 'Be iU and know that 1 amn God."
