SOPERTON, GA., RIDAY, JANUARY 9, 1919
Since Job asked the question
of the ages, “If a man die shall
he live again,” man has also
been much concerned with the
question “When will the world
come to an end.” And, ever
and anon, some one rises up to
announce the end of the world;
and it is remarkable, indeed, how
much belief is put in such an
nouncements.
Only recently, the supersti
tious, on both sides of the water,
have been much upset by one
such announcement; and there
seems to be disappointment, on
the part of some people, that the
world did not go out of business
December 17th, 1919.
Although we are pleased to
call ourselves very enlightened;
and do live in a very fast age,
the hand of superstition laid up
on us when we were not so en
lightened, still plays a very im
portant part in our lives.
Superstition is one of the worst
enemies m?n has had to fight in
his onward march, looking for a
better condition. It is ever pres
ent to pull him back when he
would advance- Superstition
has to do with the mind and
thought more than otherwise;
and, so, by education and right
thinking, and these alone, are
we to get ourselves free of this
monster.
Eternity and infinity are two
terms man cannot comprehend;
and just so long ns we attempt to
cover these fields in terms of our
finite learning, we are sure to
get ourselves, and these inclined
to listen to us, into much trouble.
The earth upon which we

Every Ford Owner Should Know
Ju«t what Ford Servine is, and why it i* different from ordinary garage
service and why it in more profitable to patronize the authorized Ford Deal
er?—The Ford Dealer i« u part ot the Bly Ford Family, lie carries a large
stock of genuine Ford parte for repairs and replacements so yon don’t have
to wait while he sends for them and he uses only genuine parts h cause he
knows the imitation parts aren’t dependable and don’t wear.
He has a thoroughly equipped up-to-the-minute garege with tools that
enable his Ford Mechanics to efficiently and properly make any repair—from
a minor adjustment to a complete overhaul. And when the work is finished,
his bill represents the reasonable, standard Ford prices.
N >w, we are Authorized Fold Dealers—a part of that great Ford Service

By Dens Kirk
live is big enough for us. . D is
all we ever have known, and all
we ever will know All else is
speculation and guess. We are
absolutely powerless tn antici
pate anything beyond our own
limited sphere.
Last fall the writer was asked
by many, even small children, if
the world would likely come to
an end on December 17th. To
all our answer was that we did
not know, bur that we had no
idea it would; and that if any
thing at all noticeable happened
about that time, it would likely
only be some abnormal weather
condition.
I do not know when the world
will come to an end; neither do
you, dear reader; and neither
does anyone else, be they ever
so wise. Patrick Henry said
that all he had to go by was the
lamp of experience, in shaping
his course in Colonial matters
and problems. ^o, all we have
to guide us as to what the suns,
moons, placets, comets, etc, are
going to do is by what they
have done in past. Ve have
searched the pages of written
history, back for many hundreds
of years, including inscription ( n
ancient toomb and buried wall;
and back of all this for millions
of years, Earth’s history lies bur
ied in her fossil remains, and ,io-
where among all this varied his
tory is there any evidence of our
earth ever having had a head on
or otherwise, smash up with any
other Heavenly body. Mighty
telscopes now sweep the Heav
ens, by day and by night, day-in
and day-out, year-in and year
out, and tell us of no wrecks up
on the highways of the Universe.
When Haley's comet came
around to see us about nine
yesrs ago there was much spec
ulation as to whether it would
and with whai results, all
of which caused much worry
among the superstitious; but the
comet just came on around the
sun. and then on out < f sight
again, just as it has been doing
about once in every Century, or
a little less, since the time where
of the memory of man runneth
not to the contrary; and in all
prodability will come back
again towards the close of the
present century.
Man is unable to operate small
things like ships, trains, automo
biles, and even wagons and bug
gies, right under his immediate
supervision, without numerous
smash ups, and much loss of life
and property; and, so, looking
out upon the immensity of space
and time, and measuring the
movements of t h e Heavenly
bodies by the lamp of his own
experience and observation,
thinks smash-ups inevitable He
forgets that He who guides the
worlds in their courses set the
various systems in order. That
he is ar. Architect with noeqdal:
a dispatcher who knows his bu
siness; and übon whose high
ways there has never been a
wreck,so far as known, or sus
pected
Let’s quit worrying: the Earth
will, in all probability, be here as
long as we will need it. Why
worry anyway? Worry rung
people crazy, and sometimes
kills.
