THE EXD OF THE WORLD
Wednesday saw another end of the
world pass quietly into the oblivion
of the yesterdays. It has been so'
since the evolution of the human
mind into a 'staee nf thnnBhi(in0l.
as to the final abiding place of the
sum. Ana as tne humankind pro
gressed in science and began to dis
cover the age of the spnere on which
we live, it began to speculate on the
prooame absolution of this same old
world.
After having gone so far in the
wav of establishing lha
earth the scientific men turned to the
otner side or the queston and for
ages have been trying to establish a
date on which the earth will dissolve,
or burn up or otherwise come to an
end. In the past every eclipse of
the sun or moon, every meteoric
shower, comet and all other phenome
na of like nature brought out the end
of the world bugs. They infested ev
ery walk of life from the ignorant
savage tribes to the so-called educat
ed masses of the civilized world.
From a lay point of view, and
working from the standpoint of what
we know, it would seem that the best
thing to do under the circumstances
The supply of Turkeys is limited,
and we would advise that you place
your order early.

would be to leave those things in the
hands of the creator of the universe.
If we could determine the exact date
of the earth's passage into the obliv
ion of dead worlds, what would it
benefit us? We could not put it off,
neither could we minimize the effect.
If each one will so conduct himself
and his relations with his fallows that
he could meet the end of the world
any day with a clean slate, then
would cease all fearful contnmnlatlnn
