PAGE FOUR THE CAPITAL JOURNAL, SALEM, OREGON SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 7, 1023 CapitalJournal Salem, Oregon As Independent Newpper Published erery trenlnf xeeptSundij Telephone 81; newt II CEOItGE FUTNAM, Editor end Publisher End of the World Faith will do many things, even it is said, move mountains (providing dynamite and steam shovel are handy), but it certainly will not bring the world to an end, as has just been demonstrated again. If it would, while the saints were winging their way in golden chariots this morning, the rest of us would be having a hot time of it. Thus endeth another effort of the faithful to take the Lord into partnership and speak for the Infinite. Periodically we have these modern prophets voicing direful predictions of calamity for the multitude and salva tion for the chosen, and they never lack desciples willing to sell all they have and follow. Most of them find their inspir ation in literal interpretation of obscure passages in the bible to which overwhelming importance is attributed and many a sect has been founded thereon. Most of the prophecies of the end of the world are based upon that cross-word puzzle of the bible, the Apocalypse or Book of Revelation, over which many vigorous controversies have raged regarding authorship, integrity and interpreta tion. When a person becomes convinced he has solved the puzzle, he sets up in business as a prophet, and bulwarks his assumption by endless bibical quotations confirming his solution. The Apocalypse is supposed to have been written by John the Apostle as a record of visions seen by him in Patmos. Others, particularly the eastern church, attribute it to John the Presbyter, and bible students who attribute the first gospel to the Apostle John, deny his authorship of Revelation. H is proven that whoever the author was, he incorporated older apocalyptic materials. Apocalyptical writings began about 250 B. C. and con tinued into the opening centuries of the Christian era. They aimed to comfort the faithful in their suffering condition and reconcile it with God's righteousness by prefiguring the future triumph of Israel or the Messianic Kingdom. Of the various books of Apocalypse, only the Revelation of John's was accepted by the leaders of the Reformation for inclusion ih the bible, although Luther and others at first rejected it. Those of Baruch, Enoch, Book of Jubilee, Assump tion of the Moses, Testaments of Patriarchs, Psalms of Solomon and Sibylline Oracles being rejected. About the interpretation of the Book of Revelation, its mysticism and ils symbolism, has grown a whole library of literature and various schools of exponents, despite which its meaning remains as great a mystery as ever. Meanwhile the end of the world for the individual is merely a matter of hours, while we have to depend upon the scientists and the astronomer for data concerning the probable destruction of the earth, long before which humanity will have passed away from an orb too barren and sterile to sustain life.

Kxclumatlun A Modern Marriage f An Absorbing Novel "l B 1DAH McGLONE GIBSQN f THE LAST STRAW Do you know what you ara aay Ing?" Richard Starmount aaid to Kathlyn Evan a, "I thought mvtry woman kept her marrUg cartlfl cata quit a as ac redly as aha did her reputation."

I tried to liva as though there had been no mar riage at all no ceremony, I mean." I "Does Rod know that?" I "Of c cm rati not- It waa one of the tlilnga I could not tell him. A man woul j not understand." "Surely you remember the name of tha minister?" "My dear tJlck, I do not remem ber even the place where we were married. It waa at eouie Itttle hamlet way up in the mountains, that we caine acroaa one of thiwe wholrsule marriage eeremoniea they have up there when the1 'prtachcr-man', aa they cull him , cornea around. "Rod and I had Intended going back to a little place farther down the mountain and be married that evening but when I aaw thobe peo ple and their unique ceremony I immediately atked Rod to let us stand up and be married with them Rod had gotten hie marriage cer tificate in Knoxville ome time be fore. You can telegraph to tlie license bureau there." ! "Mv dear girl a licenae doee not nece&sarlly mean that two people are married. It means only that (hey have signified their Intention to marry. Of course that will have! some bearing on the case but not much." J "Perhaps Rod will show who thej minister was who married ua." I Kathlyn said. "X hardly spoke to him." BRINGING UP FATHER I will see tod as soon aa poa sible end get from him If I can the name of a wltneae that we can use to prove your marriage. You ace, little girl, you were right when you aaid in your manuscript that you were very foolish to think that you could change the entire scheme of modern society. "Jim Kerby likea your atuff very much. Ha told me that he thou?n: it would be a very goad thing for both you and Rod to have it In the paper. It mukee you appar very much In love with each other." "It mikes me a fool and Rod a chivalrous gentleman," aaid K-ith-lyn bitterly. "I have aome more of It. Dick. Here it la. "Yoj see, Dick, I do not think I would have come lo the conclu sion I did about marryjng Rodney Kvans had I not found "my mother sitting on the doorstep of my stu dio that afternoon as I came from Verrou tttedman'a studio.

"If it could also tntnrni t lie Ctrl- i ous that 'Thi Stone Is K reeled by Her Loving Children' nothing mora need be told of the woman lying beneath. She had fulfilled her destiny. "My mother had succeeded la marrying my ol cleat aiater to a very disagreeable man with Iota of monev and I could eee that aha was beginning to look about for an eligible husband for me.
