THE N OF TIME"

Lots Of people ask me if / be-
lieve the present great trouble In
the world indicates the near APP
proach Of the END of Time" I
tell them "No.' In fact, there is
never going to be any End Of
Time" in the sense that most peo-
pie suppose. One Age, or Dispen-
sation, Of time ends, and another
begins, but time goes right on,
and will go on forever. But they
say, ooh, no, that will be Eter-
nifty Yes, and it will be time,
too. Eternity is only an endless
continuation of time.
Time is just like space, and
they are both infinite and endless.
It is just as impossible for time
to end as it is for space to end.
Where nothing else exists there
is empty space, and the more moth
ing you have the more empty
space you have. And it is just
SO with time. You a stop the
clock, and make it quit recording
the hours as they pass, but that
don't stop the passage of time
nary bit. Our sun is just a big
clock that marks off the days
and years for us. If this entire
solar system that we live in, in
Guiding our sun, should some time
be blotted out of-existence, it
wouldn't amount to any more
than stopping the clock. Time
would go right on, and there
would be other suns and systems
to record its passage.
People haven't learned yet to
think in terms of infnity. They
consider our little speck Of earth
and our little minute Of time as
the whole thing. Knowing that
our affairs here are transitory and
Of brief duration, they suppose
that when our little clock stops
it is all over. But not so. Time
is cut up into sections, and each
section is like a moving picture
film. It has just so long to run,
and when the reel is empty, that
is the end Of it. But just because
one film runs out is no sign the
show is over. The operator al
ways has another reel ready.
W. are just about to the end of
one film now. We are getting to-
where it is pretty ragged and the
picture looks mighty bad. But
God is going to put on a new reel
pretty soon and show us the most
beautiful picture of peace and
happiness that this old earth has
ever seen.

me purpose OF In1S Column is
merely to keep you folks out IN
the world a little more intimately
acquainted with us here at home
in and around the print shop
and over the farm where Good
News is made. For you must
know we r away out in the
woods, several miles from a rail
road, at a place where nobody
would ever expect to find a big
printing and publishing office.
And SO, from time to time, I
will give you in this column little
intimate glimpses Of who we are
and what we are doing here.
I believe I want you to get ac-
quainted with US by our first
names. My wife's name is Cora
she is the invalid, you know.
She is a heap better Christian
than / am, and a better writer,
too, if. she was able. Her educa-
ton is superior to mine, and her
literary style is hard to beat. But
she don't often feel able to write
much now, except a few personal
letters. That's Cora, and she is
worth knowing, if I do say it my
lself.
Cora and most Of the neighbors
call me james Occasionally
somebody will actually call me
"Mr. Pearson but they don't
mean any harm by it. John calls
ME "Jim"-just like that. John
is my six-foot broNner who has
|charge of the machinery and car
Ipenter work about the place. He
never took to books like I did
his mind running rather to tools
and machinery-and SO he don't
take much stock ia the literary
phase of the business. But he
has his place, and fills it very well.
Now Pa and Ma-they both call
me Jimmie. They must have
begun it when I was about the
size Of a rag doll, and to them I
am just a boy yet. They don't
realize that I am SO years old.
