The End Of the world.

Inc end or the world IS scheduled TO
come today. This grand old planet, ac.
cording to the prediction Of some hys-
terical prophet, who has found lot of
fellows willing to follow his lead, is
just naturally going to blow up and
60 out of existence. A lot of people
are keeping their fingers crossed all
through the day with view of having
some luck in Lighting when the big
blow comes and lot Of others have
quit looking over their shoulder just
to make certain that they are doing
all there is in their power to avert the
catastrophe. Most of the people who
have been most affected by the declara-
ton that the end is in sight, are not
serious minded people, but lot Of
the serious minded ones have been just
a little apprehensive.
The average man has not sufficient
vision to say when the world is going
to come to an end. The old world has
Meathered good many obituary no
tees and it will probably weather a
lot more of them. The world is com
ing to an end some time-so far as
individuals are concerned--and to the
individual man it is going to mean just
as much as if the fall of fire swooped
down and just literally consumed every
thing. The average man does not think
very much about the end Of the world

tina the world was going to end, is not a
very valuable member of the community.
Never mind when the world is going
to come to an end. The really import
ant thing for men and women in Keno
sha and everywhere else to consider
is whether or not they are going to
be found doing their whole part when
the ends does come.
Living out life is mighty import
ant thing for an individual and for a
world and the two are mighty closely

spheres has been directed in the past BY
a power greater than men and that
power has shown it's ability to keep
them moving regardless of predictions.
Just how it is all worked out and
what it all means does not matter much
to the average man. What matters to
him is whether or not he is doing his
part, Whether or not he is contribut-
ing to the world all that there is in
him to contribute. That means to work
little, earn little, save little and
share little. Every man can do some
thing to make the world better and hap

The world for him is a work shop and
the end of the world means simply the
closing of the workshop at the end Of
the days work. With consciousness
that he has done and is doing his full
part, he has the pride of the worker
who realizes his ambitions.
The end of the world whether it be
in the natural. event of the ending of
life, or if it comes in response or in
keeping with dire predictions, is not
going to mean anything to the man who
ives right or the woman who lives right.
The man who keeps busy with his
head and his hands has no time to

contribution to the world to worry
about whether or not the world is 90

of that contribution. He knows the
joy of living because he knows the JOY
of working and the partnership of
others working along the same line.
