Air Navigation Belongs to the Civilization of the Future, wif *M War to the Past I By WILLIAM RANDOLPH HEARST. CHE CONDUCT OF WAR BELONGS TO THE BLACK BARBARISM OF THE PAST. THE NAVIGATION OF THE AIR BELONGS TO THE BRIGHT CIVILIZATION OF THE FUTURE, A CIVILIZATION ON THE BARE THRESHOLD OF WHICH WE REVERENTLY TREAD. War might have use for the arts and sciences of civilization, but a HIGHER CIVILIZATION CAN NEVER CONSENT to lend its agencies for the PERPETRATION OF THE CRUELTIES AND BARBARITIES OF WAR. I believe that a very few years will see the armies and navies of the WHOLE WORLD reduced to form merely disciplined forces of INTERNATIONAL POLICE, and the duties of these forces will be not to make war, but to keep the PEACE. In those happy days of universal peace and international police protection the military departments of our government may have use for an aeroplane division, but only as a sort of AERIAL BICYCLE SQUAD.’ «•••••••••••••••••••• •••••••••••••••• eaao a «<>••••••* •• • • : Heaven Is Not a Palace In j : the Sky ;Itls a Thing j | of the Spirit j • ■ . • ••••••••••••••••*•••••••••••••••••••••••••••••*•••••• • ¥ * By Rev. L. J. EVERS of New York * r • • • REAVEN is not a place. It is a thing of the spirit. HEAVEN IS ANYWHERE AND EVERYWHERE. IT IS NOT A PALACE IN THE SKY, AS THE OLD LITERAL THEOLOGIANS WOULD HAVE US BELIEVE. IT IS ' A STATE OF MIND. Every bit of the gorgeous Biblical description of heaven is simply intended to convey an impression of its BEAUTY in terms that might be understood by the AVERAGE oriental mind, for which the Bible was first written. HI were discussing music with a great composer I might use the most highly technical language to describe its beauty. But if I were talking to a humble, half taught violin player I should have to speak very differently, using terms with which he was familiar. So in bringing the conception of heaven close to the ordinary man one must use words and phrases and descriptions which he will understand and which he can visualize for himself. , j
