Hot Place for Sure and
Forever.

Our abiding place in the future
has been located. Those of us who
are bad in this world will be furnish
ed free transportation to the sun, and
those of us who are good may select
place in heaven to suit ourselves.
If we want to rest in the heaven of

we will select Alcyone, but all the
universe except the sun, which is
hades, is heaven for those who follow
Gods commandments.
So says Rev. Zed Hertzel Copp,
President of the Highway Sunshine
Gospel Union. who has followed the
announcement of his startling dis
covery that the sun is the home of
the Imp of Darkness, by the declara-
tion that Alcyone, which he describes
as the sentral planet of all known
space, around which all other planets
revolve, is the footstool of the Crea-
tor, where His throne has been erect
ed. He makes a statement, he says,
after a research covering fourteen
years.
But heaven is not confined to one
particular planet, according to Mr..
Copp. Washington, this country,
the whole world is heaven he says,
land we live in it. But il is not the
heaven that God wishes it to be. Ev-
erything-the animals, the birds, the
fishes-are in unison with God; only
we, the human beings are in revolt.
AS soon as we comply with Gods will
this earth will be complete heaven"
From Alcyone, says the reverend
doctor, the Almighty rules the uni
verse and directs the destinies of man
and womankind.
The multitudes, of planets which re-
volve around Alcyone he describes as
magnificent gardens, wherein dwell
angels and those over whom they
preside. A state of lethargy exists
among the inhabitants, and every
where peace and quiet reign supreme.
