LIFE
at Its Best
By RAY BEALS
Is the World Going to the Dogs ?

Is the World Going to the Dogs?
Listen to this: "Our earth is
degenerate in these latter days:
there are signs that the world is
speedily coming to an end: brib-
cry and corruption are common:
children no longer obey their
parents"
Where is that written? In yes
terday's newspaper? No, it is an
inscription in a museum. 1t was
written twenty-eight hundred
years before Christ!
So today, and in every "crisis
moment" in history the pessimists
grab the headlines to mourn and
bewail the facts that "the world
is going to the dogs! Even sober
and responsible leaders have join
ed the ranks of the cynics at
times to look toward the future
with dark-colored glasses.
At the close of the eighteenth
century William Pitt said, "There
is scarcely anything around us
but ruin and despair"
At the beginning of the nine
teenth century Wilberforce said {:
81 dare not marry, the future is
SO dark and unsettled"
In 1848 Lord Shaftesbury de-
clared: Nothing can save the
British empire from shipwreck. +"
In 1849 Disraeli said, "In indus
try, commerce and agriculture
there is no hope"
In 1851 the Duke of Yelling
ton, on the eve of his death,
thanked God that he would "be
spared from seeing the consum-
nation of ruin that is gathering
about u.s."
In 1919 Lord Grey said: Every
thing is tending to convulsion.
In 1921 Bertrand Russell de-
clared: "In ten years Europe is
sure to be a piffling, unregarded
continent"
The only thing these men all
had in common was a pessimistic
outlook about the future, and his
tory proved them all to be wrong.
| read again the other day some
lines from Emerson that are
still we'll worth pondering: "The
frost which kills the harvest of a
year saves the harvest of CEN
tury, by destroying the weevil or
the locust. Wars, fires, plaques,
break up immovable routine, clear
the ground of rotten races and
dens of distemper, and open a
fair field to new men. There is
a tendency in things to right
themselves, and the war or revo-
luton or bankruptcy that shat
ters a rotten system allows
things to take a new and natural
order"
