the great educational work here undertaken
and presented. You will by so doing rem
der indispensable assistance in raising and
advancing the human family to higher
and nobler sphere Of activity in the affairs
of the world and thereby in a measure ac
complish the intended object and purpose
of these articles.
We are living in an age of books We
could with good grace call it the book age.
1t is not only book age, but it is also a
practical age. And while one would call
it book age, another would call it the
age Of steam, another the electric age, an
other the age of steel, another the railroad
age, another the age of finance or the fnan-
cial age the age Of combinations, the age of
great achievements and so on through
long list of unnamed appelations.
The truth is. we are living in grand and
wonderful age. 1t is wonderful in it's vast
combined energy. 1t is grand in it's great
achievements 1t is sublime in it's ire
mendous activity. 1t may be summed up as
that great harvest day of the ages of re-
corded revelation. If so, the great day Of
JUDGMENT will soon be ushered in, in it's
nest dreadful and fearful aspect, and close
the passing age with all the present sys-
TENS and methods Of active operations in
the affairs of man. The early dawn already
pimmers with many features Indicative Of
the day.
A great Judgment to many is, even now,
already upon us. Men are elated with pub
l;shed approval, and even of appreciation,
for things they have accomplished, or sup
posed to have accomplished. And they are
sorely tried, perplexed, and made faint at
heart because of published disapproval and
condemnation made public from one end of
the world to the other. What more terrible
judgment can be eXpected9 Will it be in
the passing away Of the present social and
religious, industrial and financial, national
and governmental systems? In all proba-
bility it will.
Among the many and vast number of
other articles written and published and
cast upon the sea Of humanity like bread
upon the waters, this work is written for
special purpose. Notwithstanding the many
achievements Of the age in which we live
and have a being, and though the nations
are in state of terrible strife the peoples
of all the great civilized countries are dis
quiet, unrestful and dissatisfied
There are substantial reasons for this con-
dition. Many questions and subjects are
unsolved. Questions that concern and affect
the people. 1t is because Of the failure to
solve these questions in behalf Of humanity
that the people are so dissatisfied. And they
will continue to remain dissatisfied until
the world takes up such unsolved questions
and so solves them as to produce more
equitable condition for mankind
Many causes have been assigned for this
condition among the people, and many RENE
dies proposed and applied without avail :;
for the reason that no one has yet recog-
nized the real fundamental and prevailing
cause. And until the cause is discovered
and fully recognized no one can apply the
actually required remedies needed for
cure.
But in order to make the subject clear
and point out the remedy it will require
full. complete, besides an extensive treat
ment and discussion Of all the great prob
lens involved and also the causes that have
led to, and produced the problems
I fully realize that in entering upon the
production of work Of the kind I am as
Stunning is a great undertaking. But I have
for many years been giving the subject
much thought and careful analysis; and
