We might as well face it.
You and I may live to see the
world “blown to bits”; and
ourselves with it! Fright- j
ening? The fact is—it is a j
time for fear; and yet, par- 1
adoxically, also a time for j
hope!
During the “Roaring Twenties,” j
and for years before, most folks
thought we were on a spiraling I
road to world prosperity. Nice j
thought, wasn’t it? But where, j
now is that world that “every day
in every way was growing better
and better”?
Something startling has hap
pened. Now the words are
“Fear.” “World Suicide.”
Dr. Harold C. Urey, nuclear
scientist, writes: “I am a fright- ■
cned man. . . . All the scientists
J know are frightened—frightened |
for their lives—and frightened for
your life.”
An alarming turn of events,
isn’t it? Our world—yours and
mine—is at the end of its tether;
1*
"/t Is
She
End!"
as n. u. wens
grimly put it: “The
end of everything
we call life is close
at hand and cannot
be evaded. . . . The
writer is convinced
tnat tnere is no way out or around
or through the impasse. It is the
end.”
>' That was in those early post
war days when there was nothing
more alarming than the Atomic
Bomb. Today, with no secrets to
secure us, the dread Hydrogen
Bomb knocks at our door. We
have accepted its implications
with a strange, suppressed fear.
No less a man than Dr. Al
bert Einstein warns us it is
entirely possible that the Hy
drogen Bomb can cause the
“annihilation of any life on
earth.” And other scientists
and realistic thinkers concur.
A time to be afraid?
One who lived nearly two mil
lenniums ago, sighting down the
corridors of time, saw that in
these last days there would be
“anguish among the nations . . . ;
men’s hearts fainting for fear,
and for apprehension of what
is coming on the world. For the
forces which control the heavens
will be disordered.” Luke 21:25,
26 (Weymouth).
And what do you make of this:
“But the day of the Lord will
come as a thief in the night; in
the which the heavens shall pass
away with a great noise, and the
elements shall melt with fervent
heat, the earth also and the
works that are therein shall be
burned up.” II Peter 3:10.
A time to be afraid? Yes and
no. If your hope is in this earth
and in human strength and wis
dom, Yes. If your
hope reaches high
er, No. For at the
height of the crisis,
when men’s hearts
are “failing them
for fear,” when all
Time
to
Look Up!
is dancer man nigni—we snail ac
tually "see the Son of man coming
in a cloud with power and great
glory. And when these things
begin to come to pass, then look
up, and lift up your heads; for
your redemption draweth nip*1 ”
Luke 21:27, 28.
We might as well face it. It Is
upon us. Exactly when, we can
not know, but we seem to be ap
proaching it rapidly—the end of
the world! But the end of the
world is the beginning of a glo
rious eternity! (Next: A N'ew

investigation
Info Troop Train
Crash to Begin
SIMMESPORT, L„ Aug. 11—<*!
p^ans were made today for an offi
cial investigation into the cause of
a high speed, head-on train crash
in which eight men died in flam
ing wreckage, about 60 other per
sons were injured and one Marine
was missing.
Dr. J. C. Roberts, coroner of Pointe
Coupee parish (county) said he
would conduct a hearing soon to
establish a verdict on “where the
fault lies.”
He said the crash was caused
by a “garbled, forgotten or ignored
message" received by the crew of
a Marine troop train that plowed
into the concoming Kansas City
Southern streamliner, the South
ern Belle. The crash occurred
about 7 am. (CST) yesterday
some 00 miles northwest of Baton
Rouge, La.
R. R. Sutter, superintendent of
transportation of the Kansas City
Southern that operated both trains,
said the troop train’s crew ignored
an order to side track their train
for the streamliner.
“Just why the crew of the troop
train failed to switch it to the
side track is something we may
never know since most of those who
might be able to give some reason
are already dead,” Sutter said.
More than 50 persons, 26 of them
Marines, were hospitalized.
