Mems Bible Glass at the Grace NJ.
e. Church on Sunday, and spoke
very effectively to the entire Sunday
School, using as his subject: "Stew-
ardship", and bringing out the fact
that our worldly goods, our chill
dren, even our bodies are loaned to
use and we are held responsible for
their treatment, and expected to use
them in the furtherance of Gods
plan. Mr.. Ballou urged the Deces-
sity for modern methods in the
church, suggesting the use of a
stereOpticOn lantern as one feature.
He stressed the tithing thought, so
often neglected hy many in their
contribution pl'n. Attention was
drawn to the injustice worked upon
our children in calling upon them
to attend poorly equipped schools,
with bad housing conditions. He
emphasized the need of sanitary,
fire-prOOf schools with Christian
teachers, and pointed out that ''the
time-wOrn excuse that it will raise
before Almighty God"

WORLD TOUR, IS DAYS

In the year 1872 French story writer, Jules
Verne, noted for his faneiful tales, entertained
his vast audience by volume entitled around
the World in so Days.. 1t seemed an incredible
idea at that time of slow communication.
Yet a few days ago two men turned up at the
New York World building who had encireled the
globe in 90 days, IA hours, 36 minutes, and 81
seconds This very short period of time was large
" due the fact that they travelled $500 miles by
airplanes.
Such an exploit is forecast of the day when
the nations of the earth will be far closer than they
are now, and people will travel from America to
Europe Asia as easily as they go from Chicago to
Washington now When that time comes the sep
arated peoples of the earth will be closely drawn
together and wars will cease. The worlds quar-
rels have been due mostly to misconceptions which
would be removed by closer relations.

PRODUCTIVE ACTIVITY

According to estimates from electrical power
interests, based on the sale of power to manufac-
turing plants, production in this country in June
was about u per cent more than last year.
This result would seem to gindicate the idea
taxes. Now If they could get state and municipal
taxes everywhere down BY an equal proportion,
what squirt Of prosperity ii would create. The
American people should devote q bit less time to
their sports and pastimes and little more to con-
sderation Of those political and economic methods
by which such result could be had.

AMERICAN TOURISTS

Europe is said to be overrun with American
tourists this summer. and many Of them college
students and young teachers. The people Of those
countries wonder how our young people can get the
money necessary for these iunkets
Which shows that it pays to be located in a
land where people have enterprise ard willingness
to absorb new ideas While ii is fine thing for
people to travel II they can afford to spend the

THE ICE AGE
Boston Sunday Globe)

Our fayorite planet has been slow in warming
up this year We Northerners dent like such
freaks of nature. When we have to sleep under
blankets into July we feel that we are being
cheated. Our Winter was prolonged; our summer
has been shortened. AS if this were not bad luck
enough fer one season, along comes The cheerful
tip that we may as well make the most of what there
is left, because this may be the last Summer we
shall have.
The Westminster Gazette has announced that
the earth is about to be afflicted with another Ice
Age
According to the biologists, the last Glacial
Age set in some 100000 years ago, and began to
soften, so that the northern world became comfort
ably habitable, from $4,000 to 10000 years back.
The anthropologists depose that ancestors then
trekked up into Europe from points south in Asia
and Africa.
It is not easy to visualize what another Ice
Age would be like. We have, Of course, no chron-
icles describing the phenomenon It happened hun
dreds Of centuries before the written word was in
vented The eyewitnesses very likely had not even
acquired the art of communicating through the
spoken word. Anyway, the scientific testimony is
hat our own direct ancestors did not migrate into
Europe until the glacial period was well on the
wane.
Some of the more immediate effects are noted
by the Westminster Gazette, which has covered the
impending event very completely. There would
soon be fall Of five degrees in the average tenn
perature The polar ice cap would move farther
and farther southwark, impeding the Atlantic
steamship lanes. Spring would be delayed longer
and longer each year, with disastrous effects on
production and the cost of food Eventually the
wheat belt would have to move nearer the Equator.
Undoubtedly, Florida would enjoy a boom Of
at least 5000 years duration The center of civil
ization in the western hemisphere would probably
move from North TO South America
Scientific speculations of this nature serve one
useful purpose They stagger mans imagination
and deflate his ego. Only when his mind is shocked
into contemplation of the grandeur of the universe
does he realize what a puny, unmportant dust
speck he Is His whole planet his entire solar sys-
TEN, in fact, is flicker in the infnitude of
the stellar universe.
Prophecy of another Ice Age, however, ought
not seriously to alarm us.
