motion in escaping from basin through small
orifce: as the mass falls together an lnconcelV-
able amount of heat is generated
The sun is the infant of the solar system 1t
is made of gas and has no hard surface. On eV-
ery square yard of the suns surface is enough
heat for generating 100000 horsepower. One
half billionth of it's heat furnishes all the energy
of the world. A shell of blazing cloud forms the
surface of the sun; it's atmosphere is blazing

Venus and Jupiter two bright stars that may
be seen at evening in the west, were given as IL
Illustrations of the second stage OF world-tormng;
the stage of youth when a hot crust has tormed
upon the surface. These belted around with
clouds which pour water down upon their surfaces
and the water is continually boiled away. They
are now wrapped with clouds, shaken with thun-
ders illuminated with ighnings.
When the surface of world has cooled suthcl-
entity to allow water to roll boiling on its surface
oceans pour down, and when the acid ocean comes
in contact with the red-hot alkaline surface of
world chemical changes at once begln acid IS tax
en- from the water and put into stone. AS the
cooling process continues the outer crust becomes
too large, it wrinkles up into mountain chains, the
water is deepest in places that have shrunk the
most, and the mountain chains always form on
the borders of oceans. This, the STAGE OF ma
turity is the stage the earth has reached. Its sur
face has cooled, but fifty miles beneath there is
intense heat. Intense heat the greatest diff
ficulty met with in digging the Slmplon tunnel.
A river of boiling hot water was encountered,
and the walls had to be continually sprayed with
cold water to make work possible. We have too
much water and air now. and often in search of
health people go to the tops of high mountains,
where the air is In speaking of the amount
of water the earth he used the following IL
lustratiOn: If you take two-fOot globe and paint
it the amount of paint relative to the globe IS
the water to the earth.
When the earth begins to go into old age it will
cool off, the water and air will get thinner,
wrinkling Will stop, and the water will grind away
mountains Just it has ground down mountains
that once mile high over Statesville. Rivers
will stop, the air become too thin to hold clouds

Mars has reached this stage and is a dying world.
1t has no clouds, no oceans, its air is only
seventh as thick ours. During it's winter 1000
square miles of snow can be seen at the south end
OF Mars; all the rest is Orange-colored desert.
Some astronomers say that Mrs. is inhabited and
that there $500 canals extending from the
poles to the equator, digged by the inhabitants
to preserve the melting snow their only way of
obtaining water.
The moon was given example of a dead
world. No water no air-frozen through. 1t has
been stiff and dead for ages. We know more of
its geography than was known of Africa five
years ago.
The speaker closed with a beautiful expression
of the thought that the universal law of change
does not apply to the divine spark in all human
clay; the eye of faith shows world not subject
to the law of change.-Statesville Landmark
