THE WONDERS OF A FEW YEARS

Measured by its influence upon hui
man affairs the development of mod
crn methods of lOcOmOtiOn has travel
ed fast and far, but measured merely
by the calendar of years it seems yet
but little advanced from the starting
point II is still young in spite of its
amazing progress. In its infancy II
encountered strange obstacles. For
Instance, in the town of Lancaster
Ohio, In 1928. a party of young men
asked permission TO use the school
house for debate on the subject of
steam railways OF which vague ru-
mOrs and curious speculation had en-
tered the public mind. To that re-
quest the school authorities replied:
You are welcome to the use of the
school house to debate all proper
questions. but such things as rail-
roads are impossibilities and rank in
fidelity. There is nothing in the
Word of God about them. Ii God
had designed that his intelligent
creatures should travel at the fright
Jul speed of fifteen miles an hour by
steam. he would have clearly fore
told it through his holy prophets.
II is a device of Satan to lead i'm
mortal souls to hell"
Can you imagine that this was
said by educated, sober and earnest
men only about fOur-scOre years ago?
Indeed We have travelled fast and far
since that day.-Ex
