' “BEYOND IS ALL ABYSS, ETERNITY, WHOSE
END NO MAN CAN REACH.”—Milton. £kt
g IME leads on, FOREVER. There can be no
; end, as there was no beginning. We live
; our little life here, between the cradle and
’ | the grave, hoping and planning, all within a
‘U brief hour., We hwrry through life, and
through each day.
e Busy with little things, we try to forget
%\ the big things, the terrible realities. But
we cannot forget.
Byron, with his red hot poetry, his wild desires, his painful
conceit about his lame leg and all the rest of it, was obliged to
say, ‘‘Bternity forbids us to forget.”
And almost every other one of the men that have thought
and felt on earth have felt most deeply on eternity that goes on
and on, time that can never end, and that takes us with it.
-0 @ '
At the end of this editorial you will find a number of quo
tations, each expressing briefly the effect that eternity produces
upon an able mind. It may interest you to see how these thoughts
compare with your own, as you contemplate eternity and try to
realize that matter, force, life, AND YOU, must go on forever
and ever, changing in form, ir occupation, in locality, going to
sleep at night and dying occasionally, but NEVER ENDING.
9 9. b
Mr. McCay in his picture endeavors to comply with the
editor’s request: ‘‘Make a picture that will show your idea of
eternity, without beginning or end.”
He shows you Father Time leading a strange procession
through the clouds and tbe stars, on a journey to last forever.
At this particular moment, and on this particular little
earth, Time as he moves takes with him eclephants, tigers, rhi.
nocercses, birds, human beings.
If you had come here a few millions years ago you would
have fourd Time leading a different army. Not one of the
creatures in this picture would have been visible then. Instead,
dinosaurs and other monsters.
If you could come back to this earth some millions of years
from now, you would find Time going on, but the earth cold and
“aad, nothing living on it, life vanished, bodies gone into ihe
ground, life passed on to some other place of abode.

There are many words in. our language that, takeu
selves, arouse deep feeling. Every word that we use, remember,
is the result of long thinking and change. Every word of im
“TODAY"
ETERNITY, MOST DREADFUL WORD
Human Beings, Limited in Every Direc- 1
tion, Born To-day, Gone To-morrow, Are
Filled with Horror at the Thought of Space ‘
That Has No Limit, and of Time That Never |
Began and Never Can End. ’
Yet if Any Statement Formulated by |
Man’s Feeble Mind Can Be Called True, It Is ;
the Statement That the Hour in Which We
Live Is Part of an Eternity That Must Stretch
on Forevr, and That the Spot Where We |
portance represents the condensed essence of thousands of years
of thought.
LIFE and DEATH are two great words, The word NEVER
and the word HOPE, if you concentrate your mind on them, will
each bring a thousand ideas and suggestions.
PAIN is a word that of itself takes you back through suf
fering, makes you think of the millions upon whom suffering
has been inflicted.
SORROW is a word that brings on a certain mood of pity,
while the word HATE changes the mood entirely, causes the
brows to contract, and brings into the mind the poison of
bitterness.
* * .
Rebert Louis Stevenson, one of the really good, middle-class
writers, developed a style of surprising clearness. When he hcd
an idle moment he read the dictionary, going through the differ.
ent words, thinking on what they meant, how they were formed,
how they came out one by ore from the whistling, grunting and
barking of the cave dwellers and other savages from whom we
descend.
Of all the words, none carries with it so much meaning, so
many thoughts of fear, courage, hope, curiosity, awe, apprehen.
sion end determination as that word ''ETERNITY'’ written on
this picture.
If you could pronounce the word, look into the mind of the
man that heard you, and see the effect on that mind, you would
know just what kind of & man he was.
When ambition hears the word ‘‘Eternity'’ it thanks God
that it has time without end in which to do something worth
while,
When timidity hears that word, it shudders and thinks al.
it with pleasure of the waiting grave.
As for the mind to which the powerful word '‘ETERNITY "

Stand Is Part of Space That Cannot Possibly
Have Any Bounds.
For Time Must Go On Forever, and
Space Can Have No End.
If You Say That Time Will End You
Cannot Answer the Question, “What Will
Come After That?”’” And if You Say T hat
There Must Be a Limit to Space You Cannot
Answer the Question, “What Is There Beyond
and Outside of That Limit?”’
means nothing, you may say quite safely that to such a mind no
word would have any real meaning.

After looking at this picture and thirking about it, you will
read with interest tho quotations that follow, showing how men
of character and intellect have briefly expressed the feeling
created in them by the knowledge that time can never end, that
it pever began, and that in all probability each of us must for.
ever go on with it. .
s @ @
_ Cicero, the Roman of keen brain who made the practical
mistake of opposing Caesar, and lost his life in consequence,
says truly that the greater the mind the greater the interest in
the endless destiny ahead of us.
“There s, 1 know mot how, in the mind« of men, a ecer
tain presage, as it were, of a future existence ; and this takes
the deepest root, and is most discoverable, in the greatest
geniuses and most exalted souls.”’
e @ .
Ore man contemplates eterrity and moralizes, For
instance:
‘“Nothing is eternal but that whieh is done for God and
others, That which is done for self dies.”’
Another, Bishop Heber, secs eterral time as almost a living
thing :
“Eternity has no gray hairs! The flowers fade, the heart
withers, man, grows old and dies, the world lies down in the
sepulchre of ages, but time writes no wrinkles on the brow of
eternity,”’
Locke, whose work, '‘Essay on the Human Understanding,'’
is one of the world's intellectual monuments; he reminds you
that our short life here amounts to little compared to what is
coming:
““1f there remains an eternity to us after the short revolu.
tion of time we so swiftly run over here, 'tis clear that all the
happiness- that can be imagined vin this fleating state’is not
! valuable in respect of the future.”’ :
s & »
- Another man reminds us of life’s responsibilities thus:
" ““Itis a high, solemn, almost awful thought for every indi
vidual man that his earthly influence, which has a commence
ment, will never, through all ages, have an end.”’ B
. 8 9 AL
Many a man will agree with Burnet, that all real intel
