Show MOMENTOUS TIMES with an even increasing number of tragic happenings there is more reason to believe that we are nearing the end of an age in which mankind has gone just about as far as he can or should go in his desire to do only those things which bring satisfaction in a material sense of speaking his inventive skill has enabled him to perfect the most improved methods of travel by air or in every form of mo motivation t iv on the earth but he is not yet satisfied and is ever seeking to break records and to outdo his lowman fellowman fel As a result he experiments still further and takes risks endangering not only himself but others as was the case revealed by investigation recently of the airplane episode which almost ended in tragedy when a plane made an up side down loop over texas only the quick action of an experienced copilot co pilot brought the ship to a safe landing science has developed ways and aid means to save many persons on the one hand but the destructive power of the atom bomb has brought death to countless millions and suffering to many who have thus far survived the effect of this experimentation is so far reaching t one cannot as yet determine how many more may be unable to recover from the after effects in this or in other countries as result of the production of the bombs or the dropping of the two deadly explosives in foreign lands some two years ago added to this we may consider losses in more than one way as result of highway accidents fires floods and alier other forms of nature disturbances the destruction of thousands of acres of forests through the new england and middle atlantic states last week which also brought death and injury to some and the loss of many homes is but another of the tragedies to be counted as a part of these changing times all in accord with biblical prophecy and all other form of predicting the end of this age momentous times indeed and the end is not yet since we have yet to face economic changes which many folks are unprepared to meet because the average person is apt to say that we have always had periods of uncertainty following each war nor are we as a nation prepared to face another war because again T the average person cannot believe that the time is so close when this will happen another signpost of these last days of an order wherein man has gone beyond all limits of expression to have his own way through the ruthless manner in which he chooses to live committing crimes unheard of in previous times but this is also a time of exposure and with certain planetary aspects in evidence now there wm cwi be less chance to go unpunished for this reason and because there is a law of compensation to td reckon with the hand of god is now falling with certainty on many who have committed wrong deeds whether they be acts of violence or any other form of error which has brought harm to another by the same token the same law is in operation for many who have tried to do good but who have been handicapped by conditions under which they were forced to live or prevented from completing their good works by those who have continuously worked against them again we say momentous times and the only sure way to pass safely through the final days of transition is to work I 1 constructively with faith in god and the power within with which each and every person is endowed no matter what may yet be in store for us as individuals or as groups working ing together to usher in the new and better way of life which is sure to follow the present disorder and confusion of these times success will attend you if you so live from a recent issue of progressive opinion we offer the following the number eleven 11 is a number of warning against I 1 disorder and confusion and bisinte disintegration ration all know of the ending of the first world war eleventh eleventh hour of the eleventh I 1 day of the eleventh month the fate of the nations today is tied in with the number eleven in the eleventh book of the bible 1 kings eleventh chapter and eleventh verse which applies very literally today general allenby entered jerusalem to conquer palestine on the eleventh day of december I 1 Roosevel ts great war speech was made on the eleventh day 1 on the eleventh day of december 1941 germany and italy declared war on the united states the united nations council is composed of eleven members so the number elev 1 1 en has been on the cross roads of the world for the past 32 y years ears roger babson one of americas leading economists is out with some predictions which should make us think ile he feels sure that the atomic war will be upon us and that cities like boston and new york will be wiped off the map he also says that a depression much worse than the last one is 1 right ahead better put your houses in order |
