II. THE MICE WHO LIVED IN A PIANO.
   A. There is a legend about a family of mice who lived all their   
      lives inside of a large piano. From time to time, their        
      piano-world was filled with music from the instrument, filling 
      all the dark and empty spaces with beautiful sound and harmony.
      The mice proclaimed that their musical world was a product of  
      organic evolution, which had occurred over a mysterious        
      30-billion-year process.
   B. One day, a daring young mouse, after having climbed to the top
      of the piano, found out how the music was made. He returned
      with great joy to explain it to the other mice. He said there  
      was a great person sitting outside the piano who was pressing  
      on keys. The keys were attached to small hammers which were    
      made to bang against wires. The wires were tightly stretched as
      graduated lengths and were made to tremble and vibrate when the
      hammers hit them, and this was how the different sounds are    
      made.
   C. All the other mice laughed him to scorn, and said that his     
      whole explanation was nothing more than a myth.
   D. Meanwhile, the pianist continued to play!

III.  Let us read Col. 1:16-17 once again.
