Finished the PostoMce

Just beyond the theater stood
Mexico's postoffice, building that
would do just credit to one Of Amer
ica's largest cities. The last tile was
clamped down before the revolution
"broke" and it stands there a credit
at least to one faction Of the past
in Mexico.
A glance along the Avenida
Juarez disclosed at the end the
blackened skeleton Of another enor-
nous pile. For many years, since
the Diaz regime decided that the
Mexican nation should have House
of Representatives second to none
on the North American continent,
this enormous structure has stood
in it's skeleton-like aspect, shrieking
out the evils Of revolution.
A turn in the opposite direction
cast the eye toward the great plaza
down the long street snamed for
Francisco I. Madero. Stately trees,
once half hiding the great old
cathedral on the left, are gone,
swept away by military men In or
der that rifles and machine guns
might be aimed with better accu-
racy. Directly ahead and on the
right Of the cathedral, built on the
foundations of an ancient Aztec
temple. stands the long, two-story
government building, the National
Palace, a monument to the Glen,
tihcos and their thirty-year reign.
What goes on there now Is tearing
down Mexico.
And 80 goes "stagnation Of cfvili-
zation" and progress throughout the
length and breadth Of what years
ago was the glittering paris Of
Latin America" The gayety which
once surrounded the streets, the
theaters and after~theater restau-
rants at night is gone. Beautifully
gowned women and immaculate men
in evening dress have disappeared.
In their place you see the streets Of
capital almost deserted after 10
O'Clock, restaurants devoid of women
except the painted little mattresses

tables usually habited by Carranza

When We look stern facts in the
face, and note the billions of hu-
inanitN from creation to the pre-
sent time that have existed upon
the earth but a.shorl Ilne Then pass
ed into death breaking up The dear
est family ties and leaving behind
the most precious treasures of the
earth, we wonder if it is all of life
to live or all of death to die; and
were it not for Gods promise of a
resurrection from the dead and a
better life beyond this evil c0adi-
ti,', this wciI'S drama woI!1 b."
:. dlrk CHc Ilurei.
From Bible chronology man has
been upon the earth a little more
than six thousand years and OF
course The Bible statement is true.
Should any one be inclined TO queS-
ton the Bibles reliability on the
point of chronology the way is open
to questioning its clam of being
the inspired word of God; and any
one who doubts the Bibie being tho
inspired word of God q do not
mean errors that have crept into the
Bible) is not in a condition of heart
to be taught its deep truths nor to
receive the comforts of the blessed
promises therein for man.
The resurrection Of the dead is
lhe most prominent feature of Gods
plan of Salvation. Some one has
foolSihly said there would not be
room enough on this earth for all
the people who have lived upon il
and died since the creation to the
present time if they were resurrect-
ed. But such statement is absolute
~ without foundation for truth.
According to Bible chronology SIX
thousand years would reach from
the creation of Adam down to 1872
A. ID. Now for the purpose OF
making mathematical calculation
Of the human race and for the pur-
pose of avoiding fractions we will
compute the number of all possible
persons that have ever lived upon
the earth from creation down to
1872 A. d., a period of six thousand
years.
Get your paper and pencil and
let us assume that it is six thousand
years since the creation of man
and that there were as many per-
sons created at the beginning as
there is now (taking our stand at
the year 1922 the estimated popu-
laton of the earth at that time
was fourteen hundred million or
one billion, four hundred million.
CAS- a matter of fact the human race
began with only one pair. And
further, let us suppose that there
never were fewer than one billion
four hundred million at any time
during this six thousand years (but
as a matter of fact the Flood, at
one time, reduced the population Of
the earth to only eight persons).
Again let us be liberal and estimate
three generations to century or
thirty-three vars to a generation.
(Though according to Gensis 3,
there were but eleven generations
