The World is Puzzled.

ODJeCL VI tue law are comparatively
lost sight of by many. Natural science
as dim as the tsarry pathway across
the blue canopy of the starry heaven.
Various dispositions are looking in
diverse directions for truth. Fiction
is built upon fancy and error is the
gateway to destruction. II there
ever was a time in the history of the
world when reason and common
sense demands the attention of the
sound thinking mind 1t is when the
world is running riot with itself as
now. Columbus was a thinker and
was laughed to scorn by the would
be wise of the historic past: however.
glorious reality has grown out of
the visions of the hero of the mighty
waters. Reason is the gateway to
knowledge and truth; are there any
more worlds to explore? Thousands
of EMPLOYERS are explaining the bible.
More than six hundred denomina-
lions are sailing from Genesis to
Revelation, but none find a landing
place. The kingdom of heaven was
likened to a net that was cast into
the sea.-Matthew 13:47. If the
parable is embiematic there must be
a landing place somewhere in the
prophetic stream of time. In imag-
mary visions some of the sailors go
to heaven when they die; others re-
turn to dust and sleep till doomsday.
while the immortal souls of others
roam the moss clad hills of time in
the body of dog or cat, wrestling
with the grindstone of humiliation
until it is permitted to live again in
a human body. Mythology. Alas,
what a dream. Was man created?
Made or brought on? Nicodemus
was not able to understand the phil
osophy OF regeneration, or how a man
though the Lord said he would send
Elijah the prophet with gospel
message before the great and dread
full day of the Lords coming. If
John the Baptist was Elijah which
was to come? He must have gone
through the cat process. We are
not endeavoring to introduce an ar
gument in this article or confine our
selves to a position on the foregone
combinations ooL opd uaa. hint cou,.
ing to reasonable conclusion of de-
fined scripture, according to Christ's
own statement, the Church of Christ
occupies dangerous position and is
sure to fall as 1t longer remains In
its present divided condition. God
is not the author of confusion but OF
peace.-1st Cor, 1888. And II a
house be divided against itself that
house cannot stand.-St. Mark 3:25
Look and see; If the words of Christ
be true the abomination of desola-
ton or the spirit that makes the
church desolate (Revelation 1850
is near to a fall. Look and see. II
they are not true the structure built
upon them is a farce not worthy OF

Twelve hundred and sixty fathom

She sleeps bneath the ASSURE blue
In the shade Of the old apple tree
Soothed with pleasant stories an

Alas, what a dream. Casting dis
trustful eye over the storm clad SUI

there? A maddened rush for wealth
fame, popularity and pieasure
Speculation, crushing labor into tn
quicksands of time; searching TO
gold, silver and brass that is not he

product of nature and develope
wealth the product of labor. Are yo
