Ing in her orbit at the rate OF 6S.-
600 miles per hour.
Shc is whirling on her axis 10
miles por second, and by the press.
ore OF gravity we arc held from
falling into illlmitable space.
Then comes Mars--s60 900 0UO
miles away, travels around the sun
once In $50 days or about two years.
/ going at the speed Of $4,000 milee

Then comc4 old Jupiter, cham
pion of tho skies. sashed and belted
around with vapors Of light. Jupiter
Is $50. 00O. 600 miles away IL trav-
els around tho sun once In 20
years, going at speed ~ 10000
miles per hour. need something
/ faster than a cyclone. going 100
/ miles an hour 20 get there IVA n lifc-
time. II | could charter Pullman
palacc car and couple u 20 ray of
light, travelling at the speed Of 1872.
/ GOO miles nor second, IL could
couple q Pullman palace car To n
ray ~ light and travel az a speed
ot 1872 900 miles per second, I Cou ia
60 70 Jupiter and got back for
breakfast at 1915 o'clock Rut Ju-
pitcr is one OF our nearest noigh-
bors. Travelling a. the rate " 60
miles an hour II would take mo 7l0
years 10 reach Jupiter oh. but. as
! said, Jupiter Ia near ncighbor.
Long Journeys
Nondor Is Saturu--BSb.OO0. 900
miles away; travels around the sun
once In 30 years. going at speed
or 2l,00O miles per hour; going at
n speed OF 30 miles an hour. II
would take you lao years to reach
that planet
And youder catch the faint glim -
NOR Of another stupCndous world ns
she swings in her prodigious journey
- old Uranus ,7SO. .000. 900 miles
away; travels around the sun once
In SIS years, going the speed of ESQ
miles per hour. As the distance OF
the planets increases, their velocity
in their orbits correspondence do
Icreases, and they slow up. Travel
ing at the rate Of 60 miles an hour.
1t would take me 3,l6O years TO
reach the planet.
! go down tomorrow morning and
jump on limited train for Chi-
cngo, and ! will change over to the
Northwestern, and / will 60 out 10
Lake Geneva Wis and I climb into
the Ncrkcs observatory and | turn
the most ponderOus telescope I'm the
world TO the skies Away out on tho
frontier OF the universe, on the very
outer rim of the world. / catch n
faint giimmcr OF Neptune, 100.
100000 miles away, travels around
the sun once in lGA years. going at
the speed Of 2l0 miles per hour. II
| should step on deck OF a bHttlcship
and fire her forward l4-inch tur-
ret gun. and IL that ball would
travel 1900 miles per minute, she
would be 81 years getting over to
Neptune
I And that isn't all II ] should
travel 60 miles an hour, would be
j,O05 years reaching tho planet Of
Neptune.
And FOUNDER Is Alpha Centurl II
| could attach my palace car to a
ray OF light and 20 at the speed OF
10000 miles per second, It would
take ME three years to reach thai
planet And ir / should charter an
express train and travel at the rate
OF 80 miles per hour, | would be-
Just S0,O00,000 years reaching that
planet.
Yonder is the Polar or tho North
star; travelling at the rate Of l92,-
600 miles a second. would bo 45
years reaching that planet. Travel
ing at the ratio Of co miles per
hour. ! would be Just 10000, 600
years getting 20 the nearest fixed
star.
And II would go down TO the
depot TO buy n railroad ticket and
pay cents a mile, | would have to
.ay down s720,000,000 for railroad
faro.
"Oh. God, what IL man that Thou
art mindful OF him ?" ! don't believe
an infidel ever studied astronomy
The fool hath said In his heart.
There - no God" But he IS "A
fool. ! am not an intidel because
! am not fool.
Then the third thing that Is in
comprehensive to me-I can un-
derstand eternity In degree: can
grasp space To certain extent, but
the third is the love 81 God TO this
old siu-cursed world. and mans in
difference 10 God love. II you can
get up and tell me why 1t Is that a
human being is Indifferent 10 Code
love, III quit. ] can't understand
III; | can't do it. ] give up.
In these days r. Is Big man and
little Cod gigantic "I' and pigmy
God" These are days when Il o.
"pouderous man, infinitoslmal God. %
There are .40O,00O,000 people on
the earth. You are one OF that
number, 30 am l. You don't amount
to much, neither do l. You
and | are just one; we are units OF
400, 900. 600 people that arc on this
earth There are 100000 worlds
like the world in which we live.
There are million other suns a
large as the sun Ot our solar sys-
tenn. and each sun holds In its power
other worlds, such as the world in
which we live.
on, Il | should take i,400. 900 900.
1.-The number OF people on the earth.
and multiply n by 100000, 900 my
friends. and then multiply that by
000 000' then multiply that by sew
lerai million more, and then multi
ply that by lnfinity and that is God.
That IS the God you spurn. whose
Son you damn--you don't give a rap
