The cycle Of one hundred years

par excellence, for it easily out-dis-

greatest achievements in the domain
Of thought. It seems as if, in all de-

previous ages slept-as if they had
been awakened from their lethargy at
the beginning of the present era.
Until this century only little world
was seen and time was reckoned only
with a few thousands of years. For
ages the heavens appeared to men but
as a canopy decorated with twinkling
lights. It was not till toward the end
Of the last and the beginning of the
present century that the old astronomy
disappeared. Our earth was definitely

undergo vast change, but our ideas
i#of time We're destined also to be- al
tered. We had computed the age Of
this world according to Biblical rec
ords, but a new geology was to dis
prove this. The study of rock strata,
! OF glaciers and of powders, proved in
the early half of this century that the
age of the world was far greater than
Biblical records had established and
that the lifetime of the world could
only be computed in millions Of years.
At the beginning of this century the
old idea was still popular that the
world existed today, in all important
+ respects, as it did at the creation, and
that any changes We're the result of
great catastrophe. But the mental i'm

government, prevents the creation Of
debt, or incurring expenses for which
provision has not been already made.
