Down through the centuries many prophets have told of today's events. Every rare and nation has had its prophets, each foretelling the future of his people No time has pro-duced conditions fitting the pictures sketched by the prophets as do the years 1914 to 1948. As the first republic was born on the American continent, so will also be brought forth on this continent the first true Cooperative Commonwealth with peace, plenty and security for all When this new economy comes into existence it will be the product of Americans (inspired and led by the Master) and not the fruit of either the Third International or the Third Reich." From SevenYears That Cnange World. LEARN HISTORY, YOU WARRIORS : Ancient Eg pt succumbed to her privileged classes and the wealth by which they enslaved their people. Babylon died in national sin and corruption because she set her wealth and grandeur and pride against God. Carthage let greed undo her and lives only in name. Media and Persia and Greece and Rome went down from their high state because of the wealth and sin of their rulers a d the exploitation and enslavement of the people. And we say that the centralized wealth and the tyranny of the privilegd clas:;es of today will be broken down as literal-ly as in the case of the ahove powers. There is no escaping it, not even in England and the United States. progressive opinion editorials Br C. N. LUND World's Eighty Spiritual Guides Are One On How to Get Peace and Prosperity lmpei ialism, War, Revolution, are but other words for GET. The world has been dominated by the idea of GET., GET GET! Every one of the eighty or more spiritual guides or Bibles in use throughout the world maik the same path to peace and prosperity in stating certain spiritual principles you may call the Ten Commandments the Golden Rule, the Law of Com-pensation, or what you will. These principles may be expres-sed in one word, GIVE. ...GIVE! Humanity, for countless centuries, has been told the way to prosper and have peace was to GIVE. ...GIVE... .GIVE! All the great prophets, thinkers, and avatars have plead with their peoples ro adopt the doctrine of helpfulness.Christ, Bud-dha, Confuious, Mohammed.. ..all have told the same story, but the world would not listen. There is a sufficiency of every thing in this world to provide plenty for all when it is proper-ly distributed plenty for all including money. The world is money mad; money is the god. Let us under-stand this man created god, Let us understand this trinity from Hell, this false god, money, his son, Get, and the holy ghost, Hoard. For eleven years lack of money prevented the government from providing a decent standard of living for the unemployed, so said the politicians. But for des'ruction they soon found billions scores of billions for warpurposes. Peace and Plenty I Prophesy, Reli-- 101 able&Qtherwise THE NEXT NINE YEARS An Analysis and a Prophecy by Winy Anderson First Printing, July 1938 Dr. Alexis Carrell, of Rockefeller Institute, leading biolo- - gist and physiologist, Nobel prize winner, whose late book, "Man the Unknown," has been a best seller, has this to say in connection with prophecy: "There is in certain individuals, apsychical element cap- - E. able of traveling in time. Clairvoyants perceive not only events spatially remote, but also past and future events. They seem to wander as easily in time and space or to escape from the physical continuum and contemplate a picture as would kft a fly if instead of walking on its surface, it flew at some dis-- q tance above it. The facts of prediction of the future lead us to the threshold of an unknown world. They seem to point '. to the existence of a psychic principle capable of evolving out- - side of the limits of our bodies." Prophecy has alway existed. Fortune teller are legion but true prophets are few, for the I prophet is one possssing spiritual farsighetdness. In ancient times there were schools of prophecy where the Celestial Sci-- - ences were taught, a combination of astronomy, astrology and cosmogony was taught.. The Essene (pronounced Com- - munity, on the shore of the Dead Sea, maintained a school of prophecy where the Nazarene was at one time a student. - .Here the initiates were not only taught cosmogony and the physical sciences, but were given a course of training result- - ing in the unfoldment of the spiritual faculties of clairvoy-ance, clairaudience. and clairsentience. Thus they were en-- , i abled to check their spiritual vision of the future on the astro-- 1 jfc nomical clock and place events in time. 15' The Delphic and Dodona Oracles also maintained schools "ST f prophecy but their schools were not comparable with those - of-tb- e Essenes.- - 4n the-Oracl-e schools; trance mediumship only J' to WQS developed and the prognostications of their prophets were 3" always subject to error for no one in the body could be sure Maa whether it was a friendly or an unfriendly spirit speaking through the oracle. In spirit, past, present and future appear as one, all part of the same picture. Herein is to be found the reason for lack nof the time element in most prophecies for while a sensitive be shown a picture of the future there sems to be no way o by which our spirit helpers can show us time. Forecasts of the future, coming through mediums today, jj3; are as unreliable as were those of the oracles of old. Though w'fc the medium is genuine and establishes contact with the spirit 5JJ world, it is as impossible to know what spirit is speaking as Big to know who is at the other end of a telephone line. And as lftl there are people who take a delight in lying so there are spirits but sparate in the consciousness of individuals living in angh who lie. Some Local Conditions Not So Good. Harold B- - Lee, one of the apostles of the L. D. S. church, preached a good sermon in the Wells stake conference last Sunday Among ohfr things he said that he was a member of a nation J committee whose aim is to- study and seek- to find ways and means to prevent social diseases, and that they have been unable to raise a hundred dollars in this state for that purpose, while the net revenue from liquor sales in Utah, for a single year runs well over $1,000, 000, and from sales of Cigaret levenne stamps alon well over $350,000. Consider-ing this and taking note of the every day and holiday drunken-es- s one is apt to conclude that we're going to hell in a hang-ing basket. He also said he had visited the state prison and interviewed forty five inmates who were under twenty three years of age. Nearly ninety per cent of them said they were there because at a certain time in their boyhood there was no one to look after them no one to take any interest in them. Far to many fathers and mothers are somewhat like the father of John Dillinger, who cried out after his son was shot down, "I was too bupy at the store to look after John," Some Items Of Personal Interest We have had some good patronage from our friend Mr. Black ot the Black Barber and Beauty Shop at 605 East 21st So. Ha makes us presentable every once in a while and we can recommend his shop for first class work. He is not suf-ficiently in love with England to be best man at a wedding of Britain and U. S. A. Adolph Sorenson, a friend and neighbor of long standing, is one of the best boosters in the city for the Townsend Plan and says he is making many converts. He has a good position in the State Liquor Warehouse and tends strictly to business. He earned his place by good, hard work for the men now in power. He of-ten turns some good patronage to this paper. He is always try-ing to move upward and on-ward, and is sure to get there. Neighbor John Stewart was in the other day and preached some of his gospel to us. He is tall, straight, and rather slim and has rounded out his three score years and ten, or will do so this month. His health has not been so good of late but he is determined to live yet another ten years, the fates being willing. We have one subscriber who weighs 300 pounds and when we cornpare him with Mr. Stewart, we tnink ard Taft. Mr. Taft looked him of the following story. George Bernard Shaw met Wm. How-ov- er and said: "Mr. Shaw, you look like there was a famine in England." Mr. Shaw retort-ed, "Yes, Mr. Taft, and you look like you were the cause of it." We met Neighbor Howard Christensen in church Sunday and he was listening to and ap-peared to be enduring sound doctrine. We say again that you may listen all you wish to him, but don't for your sake contradict or corner him. He has the goods. Friend and neighbor, Mrs. Shaw sent us a beautiful card from sunny California where she has been spending a week or two and greatly enjoying it. The kind of giver that we love just as much as the Lord does is the one that not only pays his or her own subscrip-tion but every once in a while pays for some good friend. After all it is not what you gather and hold that counts, it is the right kind of giving you do, the little and big ser-vices that you render that real-ly count, and that will stand you in well when life's lame-foo- t race is over. We regret that our friend Rev. Jacob Trapp of the Un-itarian church is leaving Salt Lake for a pastorate in Den-ver. He has fought a good fight here and may success iftend him in his new and larg-er field. M-i'-- mor-sl'mih- l hjivMwi airl about J- - A. TTpss eoinir to Idaho to spend his birthday. It was also the 70th anniver-aryofth- e settling of George-town, and he was the first child born there. So the town cele-brated with him He waked up on the morning of his natal day and looked out to where he first saw the light. He was banqueted and given his first real flowers and the best time of his life. He saw his old school boys and girls he had taught so long ago. Saw the ones who were left of the little Sunday School class he attend-ed. It wa3 a royal home coming to him he will remember it as the best time of his three score years and ten.

A note to you, Herr Hitler: If you bad been content with your country as it was be. fore you started the world conflagration and gathered up all the wealth you have used in your campaigns of conquest and putit to the best possible use among your people, building up your country and serving your people after the manner in which Pericles did in ancient Greece, you would have placed yourself among the word's immortals. But doing asyou have you have marked yourtelf'and your country for destruction Continued in Next Column Men and Nations Have Lost the Light. No matter what your personal opinions may be about the war you cannot get away from the fact that .things look very dark in this crazy-qui- lt world A black nig it has settled upon civilization and the gloom is so thick that there is scar-cely any Jig t that can penetrate it. Before this darkness came upon the world it had found its way into the hearts of men Yes, in millions of hearts it had found an abiding place and crowded out whatever spiritual light men's souls had to guide them. It is a fearful! thing for an individual, a nation or world when the spiritual light hap gone out. It can mean nothing less than spiritual death. And there m st be a resur-rection from th it death before there can be any solution of f ie problems that confront mankind. Everywhere men nre put-ting what fait h t hey have in armaments huge tanks, great guns and death-dealin- g airplanes. These cannot save; they can only destroy. There is but one saving voice in the w .irld and it has been calling for centuii :s, but in vain. It is the vnii e of O.ip who.firt blest ev,;ry Word with love. It is still calling and pleading with men but nne will listen. They prefer to go on until they rush pell mell into the maelstrom of death. But no matter how deep the chasm into which they are plunging, that voice will keep on calling them to the high road where they may walk redeemed and happy and secure.j - " - Children of the Pavements Several times we have come in contact wrth many poor ildren who swarm on the pavements and in the gutters of this great city by the big Salt Sea. Just picture a flock of ten children, all small, of one father and mother, poor, ragged and thinly clad. We have seen them more than once herding themselvs while the parents were out spreeing, without breakfast and with little hope of any dinner. They are so near the center of Zion, or were before they were evicted, that you could step out of one of the big banks and almost touch hands with them. If there is a sadder and more pitiful sight in Salt Lake we do not know of it. But, who cares about this condition? Apparently, no one so long os there is money to be gathered and hoarded. But the ruling classes and social and church leaders had better care, for soon these "lost" souls will grow up and become voters and then they will out vote and govern their one daughter, Coldie Locks, and their one son, Junior. Then they may wish that they had done something for these pro-ducts of poverty and dirt and sin. It is not unlikely that Cod will be ashamed of the favored classes who have brought about conditions that make such images of his handiwork. We of this paper try to make our every effort count to-ward the uplift and rehabilitation of such as these children, and we would go to any length that men and our means will let us to make a happy fireside clime and a world of joy and happiness and plenty for them. It is millions like them that the Master had in mind when he said, "Inas-much as ye have done it unto one of the least of these, ye have done it unto Me." , j KOSMON CENTER, 3ox 664, HOW.
