A FINAL WORD
It is the force of gravity which keeps human beings
standing upon the surface of the earth as opposed
to flying up into outer space, likewise keeping our
oceans in their massive troughs, keeping our life-
sustaining atmosphere safely around us and, at the
cosmic level, keeping such mighty objects as the
earth and planets in their proper orbit around the
sun. Yet, imagine what would happen if this force
were to be shut off, just like a sudden power failure
in a factory which brings all machinery to an
unexpected halt. The earth would then be dragged
through space towards the sun at a speed of 6,000
miles an hour. It would only be a matter of weeks
before the earth would become a ball of all-
consuming fire and not a trace of today’s beautiful
world would be left. There would be not the
smallest vestige of life to be seen—not even so
much as a speck of ash from all the multifarious
forms of civilization that have taken so many
centuries to evolve on earth. There would be no
sign that even a planet of the size and nature of
Mother Earth had once existed in the solar system.
Imagine how utterly panic-stricken the human race
