Текст песни Джо Граз - Я нашёл путь... - Глава 13. Дети Божии

Our world is gradually turning into a giant laboratory. Every year we spend billions of dollars to develop new technologies to accelerate scientific and technological progress. Many things that today we are perceived as perfectly normal, just yesterday seemed fantastic and impossible. I recall with some disbelief I heard the story of my uncle Luther Burbank (famous breeder) and her white blueberries. And only a few years later, when I read the story of his life, I was able to assess the achievements of this remarkable man and scientist. We began to grow new types of strawberries, new varieties of plums and other fruit trees. Taste the quality of new varieties, bred in laboratories Burbank were the acme of perfection.

Today, a huge number of institutes, laboratories engaged in the search for new types of biological products, new production methods. I myself have often been on the experimental farm, where new and more productive breeds of animals.

Even the average human life span has increased significantly. A child born today has a chance to live longer than a child born in the beginning of this century.

One day, while in Vinterset, in Iowa, I wanted to see apple-ancestress of the world famous varieties of "red dilishes." The tree is grown from seed, but, so to speak, solea case, was to bring wonderful apples. From seed in normal wild apple trees grow. There is only one way of breeding cultivar. He is grafted shoots with original apple to apple trunks other. Then, as ennobled tree grows from them, too, could take shoots and thus propagate this grade.

People are always concerned about their comfort, try all ways to improve consumer side of his life, and I must say, have reached this great progress. Well, what happens in the spiritual life of man? What is being done, so that there was an increase and improvement? Actions of some people testified that in their hearts there was a dramatic change, because they were able to perform amazing.

I am reminded of the story of the famous Russian physician Jordania, who flew on a plane to South America. The accident occurred, and the plane began to fall into the sea. The crew gave a distress signal and prepared inflatable rafts. All passengers nadeli- lifejackets. When almost all the passengers got out of the sinking of the aircraft, it was discovered that this flight was flying "hare" little girl, who, of course, turned out to be a lifejacket ns. And then Professor Jordania, known and revered worldwide doctor gave his vest an unknown little girl and saved her life at the cost of his own life.

I would also like to recall the history of Captain Gilmore, a submarine commander. The boat is on the surface, when approaching the Japanese ship began firing at him. Captain Gilmore was wounded. Was rushed in an armored crew delayed & quot; to help his captain, but he gave a short order: "Immerse the boat." Gilmour was well aware that the dive boat it will be carried over and die. But he also knew that otherwise may die the whole team.

In my life I've seen a lot of heroism. Manifested in human beings. Animals, too, are capable of self-sacrifice for the sake of their offspring. But they have no reason, and their whole life is subject instincts. The man is it something else.

I remember how I once walked across the steppe after the fire and saw the meadow Teterka that are dead and burnt, sitting on a nest. I gently kicked the charred body Teterka, and ran out of her little chicks. They survived because his mother with his body to protect them from the raging fire of the steppe. I knew it was instinct - a God-given all animals a special feeling, to guard their children. But the man God gave something qualitatively different.

In the life of Jesus Christ, I saw what it was. He lived His life on earth in full obedience to the commandments C
