DAWNING OF FAITH.
Stability in government, stability
in business, stability in the home,
in the school, in all walks and oc
cupations of life, are predicatjd
upon faith. Without faith, without
anchorage, humans are adrift on
unknown seas, seeking safe harbor,
yet having faith in none. History
records, points out the Seattle Post- j
Intelligencer, that the human race ]
has progressed intermittently in cy- i
eles, in which faith and civiiiza-'
tion, doubt and semi-savagery, fol-;
lowed successively at intervals. Hu- i
man progress has always come about i
in seasons of faith—faith isj cour,- j
try, faith in its institutions, faith j
of the citizen in himself, faith in ]
the Divine Arbiter of man's des-j
tiny. Faith has been built up slow
ly and sometimes painfully, through
centuries of human life faith has all
but disintegrated, and mankind has
lapsed into the twilight of civiliza
tion ; but always the seed of faith,!
the remnant to which the human
soul clings, has sprung up anew to
the production of a greater and a j
better world of man. j
So with man in this epoch of j
human history. For more than a !
generation the faith of man has ;
been breaking down. It has been .
the popular football, and it has been
the fashion to take a fling at it— i
cartoonists, humorists, politicians, j
often journalists, preachers, college j
professors, teachers, labor leaders, !
the man on the street and the ‘
housewife in the home—all have
taken their fling at faith. Thou- ;
sands of conscientious men spend i
their lives gathering news for the
papers, and. considering the time
they have to get it and put it on ‘
the streets, it is more than reason- !
ably accurate, yet the talk is com
mon “if you see it in the news-1
papers it is a lie."
Dead statesmen of our country,
including Lincoln and Washington,
have been held up to popular ridi
cule by demagogues and disturb
ers; and even by teachers their
weak points have been emphasized
and their careers condemned before
inexperienced classes. Officials have
been damned in and out of office
by newspapers, cartoonists, and pub
lic speakers. The virtue and ear
nestness of the clergy have been
scorned and scoffed at in various
circles and a class that should be
aggressive has often been put upon
the defensive. We have arrived at
a time when men have lost faith
in themselves. That is the whole
answer to our present troubles.
What must come, and what the
public is waiting for, is a develop
ment of faith. Once the need is
realized* the remedy will be found
at hand. There was a time when
we had saloons. For years we jet
the ministers and the W. C. T. U. j
orate against them. ft did not
worry the saloon men and it gave
harmless pastime to the prohibi
tionists. Then suddenly we all awak
ened to the economic value of pro
hibition, and prohibition came.
When the people wake up to the
economic value of faith, it will
come. Today’ the pulpit is one of
the few places where you hear faith
taught. Within a little while it will
be taught in the schools. You will
read it in the press, the magazines,
and books. Yesterday we ridiculed
prohibition; today we have it; today
we ridicule the man who speaks
about the possibility of the golden
rule; tomorrow we will cling to that.
People say prohibition does not
prohibit and that you cannot live
by the golden rule is your neighbor
will not. Prohibition may not pro
hibit, but the next generation will
be as dry as the desert. You can
not make your neighbor live by the
golden rule, but when its economic
possibilities are realized the suc
ceeding generations will be reared
upon it.
Even today, with faith at its low
ebb, there is every basic reason for
the confidence that we lack. No
intelligent man believes that this
world of humans will ever go back
to its elemental savagery, or even
retrogress to the average of the cen
turies. Man has climbed high—so
high that even a step backward ap
pears to him to be a fall. But it
is not a fall; it is but the pause
for breath before we begin the
ascent to higher levels. Down deep
within each of us is the spark of
faith, of courage, of indomitable
will, that shall help to carry hu
manity onward and upward to the
level that was designed for man in
the twilight of things when the
earth was young.

opposition with this gigantic league,
will be the huge planet Uranus.
The magnetic currents between Ur
anus and the six planets will pierce
the sun like a mighty spear.
“Our earth is outside the league |
at an angle of nearly 90 degrees— |
in perfect position to receive almost j
the full force of the monster elec
jtrical disturbance as it leaps into
activity on what, to us, will be the
eastern horizon of the sun's disk.
“This means we shall get the full
strength of the storm when the sun
i. pot is at its worst, before the ex
jploding gases have had time to die
| down.
' “Such a close grouping of planets ;
;has never been recorded before. j
. The whole solar system will be ;
strangely out of balance. •
“What will be the outcome? My j
,knowledge does not permit me to:
jstate, beyond the fact that the;
storms, eruptions and earthquakes |
Iwill be tremendous in their strength ;
;
and scope.
i “Remember 'the date—December
117 to 20, and after.”

SAX FRANCISCO. Dec. 17.—‘
Questioned this morning regarding j
his prediction that the world would ;
1 be turned upside down this month.
j Prof. Porta, the San Francisco me
teorologist, said that his prediction
I of the world’s end had been greatly
! exaggerated. He explained that the
! predicted configuration of planets
would cause a huge sunspot which
might cause a cataclysm, but which
I would be prevented from doing so
i bv the rotation of the sun.
