! with vapors of light. Jupiter is $50,
100000 miles away. 1t travels around
the sun once In IL years, going at a
speed or 10000 miles per hour. l
need something faster than a cyclone
going 100 miles an hour to get there
In a lifetime If l could charter a
Pullman palace car and couple it to
a ray OF light travelling at the speed
OF $4,000 miles per second, could go
to Jupiter and get back for breakfast
at 1O:15 o'clock. But Jupiter is one of
| our nearest neighbors Travelling at
the rate of so miles an hour, 1t would
take me TAO years to reach Jupiter
on, but as / said, Jupiter is a near
neighbor.
Yonder is Saturn-8S5, coo, 900 miles
| away; travels around the sun once in
| 80 years, going at a speed of $1,000
miles per hour. Going al a speed of
| 90 miles an hour, it would take you
l,41O years to reach that planet
! And yonder l catch the faint glim-
mer OF another stupendous world as
she swings in her prodigious journey
old Uranus i,780,000,000 miles
| away; travels around the sun once in
| SO years, gong at the speed of $50
miles per hour. As the distance of the
| planets increases, their velocity in
their orbits correspondingly decreas-
es, and they slow up Travelling at
! the rate of so miles an hour, it would
take me $3.50 years to reach the
/ planet
What Observatory

go down tomorrow morning and
Jump on limited train for Chicago,
and l Will change over to the North
western, and l will go out to Lake
GENEVA, Wis, and i climb into the
ferkes Observatory and l turn the
! most ponderous telescopes in the
| world to the skies. Away out on the
frontier of the universe, on the very
| outer rim of the world, | catch the
| faint glimmer of Neptune 100 0oO.-
! O00 miles away, travels around the sun
once in 1914 years, going at the speed
/ or 10 miles per hour If | should step
on deck a battleship and fire her for
| ward 14-inch turret gun, and if that
| ball would travel 1900 miles per min
| ute, she would be 81 years getting ov-
er to Neptune.
And that isn't ALL. If I should travel
oo miles an hour, | would be 5oo5
years reaching the planet of Neptune.

could attach my palace car to ray of
light and go at the speed of 1913, 900
miles per second, it would take me
three years to reach that planet. And
II l should charter an express train
and travel at the rate of 80 miles pei
hour, | would be just 80,000,0 900 years
reaching that planet.
Yonder is the Polar or the North

miles a second. | would be As years
reaching that planet. Travelling at
| the rate of so miles per hour, | would
be just forty million years getting to
the nearest fixed star.
And if ] would go down to the depot

cents mile, / would have to lay down
| $f2O,OOO,O00 for railroad fare.
"Oh, God, what is man, that thou
are mindful of him?" don't believe an
lnfldel ever studied astronomy or
looked through a telescope. The fool
hath said in his heart "There is no
God" But he Is fool. ! am not n
infidei, because | am not fool.
| Then the third thing that is incom-
! prehensible to mel can understand
eternity in degree; l can grasp space
TO certain extent, but the third is the
love of God to this old sin-cursed world
and mans Indifference to Gods love.
II you can get up and tell me why it
is that human being is Indifferent to
coos love, I'll quit. l can't under
stand it; give up.
In these days it is big man and
| little God" gigantic 81" and pigmy
Tod These are days when it is
"Ponderous man, infinitesimal God"
What Earth's
Population Is
There are 1,4OO,OOO,OOO people on
| the earth. You are one of that num-
| Der, SO am |. You don't amount TO
much. Neither do l. You and 7 are
JUST one; we are units of 1,4O0, 0OO, 900
people mat are on this earth. There
are 100000 worlds like the world in
which we live. There are a million
other suns as large as the sun of orr
solar system, and each sun holds in
| its power other worlds. such AS the
| world in which we live.
Oh, if l should take I.4OO 600 the
number of people on the earth and
multiply it by 1,4O0, 900, 900, NV friends
! ana then multiply that by Y 900 900.
/ tnen multiply that by several million
more and then multiply that by infin-
lty and that is God. That is the God
| you spurn, whose Son you damn-you
don't give rap about. That is the
God, sir. that you have been bIasphem-
ing and refusing to accept all these
! years.
| II l were to take the sun and cut If
up into 100000 pieces, each piece
would be as big as the earth on which
we live, and if / could take an auger
ana pore hole in the top of the sun.
could bore hole 100000 times the
size OF the earth and there would still
De room for more. And God made the
sun. That is the God you haven't any
use for 'i'
On, II ever a man appears like q
! consummate idiot, it is when he has
/ no use for God and the plan of saliva
ton through Jesus Christ.
II you should take 1,4O0, 900 O0O-tbe
number of people on the earth-and
| subtract hundred million from that
! and repeat that process a number of
/ times, what would be left Womb he
