Dear Miss Grey: In answer TO
MRS. n. D." In regard to the end
Of the world, ! would say that she
need not have any Immediate
alarm.
Astronomy teaches US that the
earth upon which we live has It's
life and It's living the same as ev.
cry other object Of Gods creation.
AS the lines Of planets are meas
ured, the earth upon which we live
Is In it's prime. The earth was at
one time molten mass; but is
slowly but gradually cooling off,
and Mother Earth Is slowly but
gradually turning to stone.
When this process is completed,
the earth will no longer support
life. This is a slow PROCESS and Is
probably measured In terms Of mill
lions Of years, rather than thou
sands.
Our satellite, the moon. Is an ex-
ample OF this. A planet which has
outllved its usefulness serves to
give us light by night. II has no
atmosphere and at the present time
supports no form Of life.
