The End of the World

Since man quit using his arms legs there has never
been time when he generally believed mat the end oil
his creation fast approaching as To-Day -
Always there have been secs preaching the end oil the
world but until the world these sects were numer-
cy unimportant Today these creeds that preach the
speedy Second Coming and the end Of the earth have
received converts by the tens of thousands, and new
churches and sects have sprung up by the dozen with the
same message and these too have found their disciples IN
every hamlet and precinct
Then too would surprise the uniformed to get into
the thoughts of the of the people Of average educa
ton and intelligence and discover how widespread the
belief in the coming end of things regardless OF any
church affiation or of any especial faith.
For the first time since there science earth.
scientific are, many Of them, admitting that there
are indications of astronomc shift, geologic
period for the earth, and that far as civilized life on
this planet concerned the end of the world might easily
arrive any day as it did for scores of thousands Japan
One Of the unfortunate effects of this belief Is that 1t
makes and women Indifferent to earthly things;
one type of mind devoes itself to fasting and prayer;
another devoes itself to seeking hectic roous experience
for knoweth what the may brngth forth.
There world wide indifference to the ideals and aspir-
atoms that have raised from the monkey, and much
of this may be directly traced to this widespread feeling
that to work for the morrow Is senseess for probably
there won't be any morrow.
1t would be we'll for those who are lodging their re-
sponsbties human beings to consider that should the
world end tomorrow there still real evidence that the
soul The wping out of physical world two is
not much in the universal scheme Of things but the soul
that gives up despair that rushes into revelry for
