Other ways by which Mr. Gullen could see the world come to its end were the closing up of all volcanoes and other vents for gases, the inevitable result of which would be a terrific explosion that would shatter the world or bring part of the atmosphere to such a heat that the oxygen and nitrogen would unite and cause a combustion of the atmosphere.     That such disasters were not imposible was shown, he said, by the spectroscope, by means of which man could read the life history of the planets. He added:     “The spectroscope shows that one planet is in a state of white heat, that another showing yellow is on the down grade, that Mars is dying, that the moon is dead, while Jupiter is Just getting ready for sentient life. This world is on its way to death, for it is traveling straight toward Hercules 600,000 miles a day, and while the distance is immense it is not infinite.” Science tells us the end is coming, the preacher went on more reassuringly, but it does not believe the end is near. It estimates that God took ninety million years to make the world habitable by man and that man’s life on it is perhaps 100,000 years.     His comparatively optimistic comment at the finish was:     “Why could God spend all that time in making a world if it is to be destroyed so soon? God wastes neither space, material nor time. He Is too busy. He is continually making new worlds, but He does not destroy them almost as soon as they are made.” From—The Jasper News.
