UNLUCKY TO BE WITH GOD.

The following is an extract form 8
patriotic grafton delivered last July
in a North Carolina town. The speak
CT, himself war veteran, was ad-
dressing his surviving comrades in
memory and in honor of the heroic
dead. Which was all very nice and
proper. But here is where he spoiled
it.
Comrades, they are gone; they
are dead; they have made the supreme
sacrifice. Their bodies sleep in their
tombs of clay and their souls are at
rest with God, and we know not Aow
lucky and how fortunate we are to be
here today"
Get that? He says those whs have
managed to stay away from God are
lucky and fortunate which is the same
as saying that those whose souls are
at rest with God are unlueky and un-
fortunate.
That is strange kind of talk. Why
is it such misfortune to be in heaven
with God? Why are those left behind
in this troublesome world so much
more lucky and fortunate than those
who have arrived safe in glory?
That orator didn't mean to slander
God, nor to insinuate that heaven was
an undesirable community; but he
simply allowed his old orthodox teach
ing to run away with his common
sense. If he had stopped long enough
to consider how it sounded he never
would have said it.
But that's the kind of nonsense
that the Immortal soul' teaching al
ways leads to Why will people be-
such fools?

Building For the New Age,

Side by side throughout the world
today there is moving two parellel
lines Of activity. One is the activity
of destruction. All the old order of
things with which we have long been
familiar is being torn down and des-
troyed. Looking only at that part
of the performance it seems that civi-
ization is headed for the scrap-heap
in a powerful hurry. But there is
aonther side to it. There is a great
work Of reconstruction going on, and
wherever the old out-of-date things
are destroyed they will soon be re-
placed with something better. We are
just now beginning to build for the
Golden Age, but there is great deal
of tearing down yet to be done. You
see the old junk just has to be gotten
out Of the way before the new struc-
ture can be built.

"CHAFF" AND FIRE"

1t is the strangest thing in the
world to me that people who seem to
have common sense about other things
can't have one bit Of reason nor COM
mon sense about the meaning of plain
scripture statements.
For instance, you write a letter to
one Of these eternal torment" fana-
tics and tell him that you had a big
chaff pile that was very dry and it
caught on fire and burned up. He
will not doubt it for a minute. He
will just naturally see with his minds
eye picture of Your chaff- pile being
consumed away by the devouring
flames until it is all gone. 1t will
never once enter his mind that your
chaff-pile is lying there burning and
tormenting forever and that it never
will be consumed nor grow any less
in bulk. In that case his common
sense teaches him that dry chaff
BURNS UP and consumes away to a
little handful of ashes when fire gets
into it.
But you go to that same man and
r d to him Matthew 3:12, where it
says that Christ will gather his wheat
into the granery, but he will BURN
UP THE CHAFF with unquenchable
fire. Then what does your good or
thodox brother do about that? Why,
bless your gizard, he seems to forget
all about the lesson he learned from
your chaff- pile, and he rears up on his
hind legs and swears that chaff does
not burn up, but that it just burns
and Furnishes right on through enter
nifty and never does get consumed.
That's the Kind Of fool caper he will
cut, and we all know there is no sense
in it.
The very fact that CHAFF and
FIRE are used as an illustration
proves that the idea which the inspir-
ed writer wanted to convey was the
idea of COMPLETE DESTRUC-
TION. Everybody understood that
fire would burn up chaf completely.
If God had been trying to convey the
idea Of endless existence in torment
he would not have selected for his il
lustration material that would burn
up so quickly. Instead of chaff he
would have said asbestos something
that will not burn up at all.
The fool-killer., 1920-03-01

l read in a magazine a few days
ago where some big stuck-up pluto
crat remarked that if he could have
his way he would shoot with his OWE
revolver any man who called himself
Bolshevist. And yet his objection
to Bolshevism is based on the assump-
ton that the Bolshevist is guilty Of
the very same kind of lawless conduct
that he himself would like to be guilty.
of-"n he could have his way" Yes.
If that murderous-m minded fool could
"have his way" there would be Just
one more Bolshevist in the world that
would need shooting, and I would ad-
wise him to try the first shot on him.

handles that kind of talk is a hang
taxed sight more dangerous than the
reddest "Red" that ever wore whisk-
efs.

POWER OF THE FUTURE

The world got along without coal
for thousands of years. And thought
it was getting along very we'll, I
guess. Didn't know anything about
the advantages coal might be, and
therefore didn't miss it.
But today the world depends to a
large extent on coal. Just look what
storm is raised when the coal-dig-
gers go on strike for few weeks.
Just look at the inconvenience to busi-
ness and the actual suffering among
the people that results.
So you see, honey-boy, that the
world today is largely at the mercy
Of the coal supply.
But-Christopher Betsey!-what if
the coal supply should give out? AS
a matter of fact, it will sometime.
Maybe not just yet, but the time will
come. The coal supply is not mex
haustable. There was just so much
coal in the earth to start with, and
there can never be any more made. It
was formed away back in the Carbon
ferrous Age, millions of years ago,
and was not touched until recently.
But at the rate the world is using
coal it can't last forever The time
will come when the last lump will be
dug and consumed.
Then what?
viii industry and transportation
stop? Will the people freeze? Nav,
you crazy thing.
Not bit of it.
Before the coal gives out some new
source of heat and power will be dis
covered that will be a vast improve
ment on the old smoky coal.
This new source of power is likely
to be the. unlocked eaaery of the Atom.
Men Of science have been working on
it for years, and one of the wisest of
them recently said:
II think we are on the brink of a
discovery. It may take a century,
but instead of burning 1000 tons Of
coal, [ believe our descendants will
take the same amount Of energy from
few ounces Of matter"
That isn't pipe-dream, even if it
does sound like it. The men of Sci
ence really believe it is possible and
that it will soon be a reality. And
when you look at it from the stand
point Of world evolution and consider
some Of the things that have already
been done, it isn't unreasonable at
all.
Startling changes are certain to
come about in the worlds way of liv-
ing, and that pretty soon. We are
now almost ready to enter the Golden
Age-the Millennial Reign of Christ
on earth-and We know that the curse
Of Sweating for daily bread" is to be
removed from the human race.
And so there will be developed some
power so great that all the worlds
work can be done with a fraction of
the labor and cost it now requires.
And these things are all to come
about in perfectly natural way.
There will be no more miracle about
them when they come than there is

TWO OF A KIND


old Nanny Eddy's so-called "Christ-
ian Science" just minute and sorter
compare it with Orthodoxy's Immor-
tsl-Soul-ism, and see where it all leads
to.
One of the main teachings of Christ
ian Science, if understand it, is that
Matter does not really exist. Every
thing is Mind, Or Soul, or Spirit, or
whatever you pleae to call it. There
is no tangible substance anywhere
Your body does not exist. The clothes
you wear do not exist. The house you
live in and the ground you walk on do
not exist. All things are just crea-
tion Of your mind, sorter like the
snakes seen by a delirium tremens ex-
pert, and in reality they have no ma
terial existence,
All that stuff is little too tenuous
and moon-shiney for my horney-hand-
ed mentality to get hold of. 1t sounds
to me like crazy talk.
Well, the old-line theology comes
along and pats me On the back and
says, "That's ight,Pearson! You've
expressed our views on Christian Sci
ence exactly. The idea of the non
existence Of matter is absurd. Why,
if matter didn't exist we wouldn't be
here at all, and if we were here we
wouldn't know it, and if we knew it
we wouldn't have any way Of letting
anybody else know it. Such a life as
that would not be worth much.''
And so the orthodox brethren just
rip and rant all over the place, cussing
out Christian Science heap wusser
than I ever did. It makes them fight
ling mad to suggest that their fine
churches, their long-coated college
foundered preachers, and their swell
congregations do not exist. All these
fine fixtures have cost too much real
money to be ignored and brushed aside
like that.
Looking at it from the standard of
this present life, Orthodoxy is just as
doubtful as I am about how a thing
can exist and at the same time not
exist. The preachers will even argue
that man here in this world wouldn't
be man at all if he didn't have a
literal body.
Which is all good sound sense.
But in the very next breath they
turn right around and say that what
they said couldn't be, really is, after
all. They say that when a man dies
and his body returns to dust his "inn-
mortal souP' (without any material
substance about it) goes off some
where and lives in exactly the way
that Eddyisn says we are all living
now.
And l want to know what's the diff
ference, if you please. If a mans
body is just a prison in which the
real man is confined for awhile, and
if the immateria,l soul can live Just
as we'll and know and enjoy just as
much without the body, then what in
the Tom Walker is the use for any
of Us to have bodies at all? It looks
to me like God has gone to a whole
heap of unnecessary trouble to make
so many bodies for people to live in
if they can live just as we'll without
them.
So if you accept the Immortal Soul
theory as correct, I don't see what's
