The tunnel thru the air : $b or, Looking back from 1940

Imaginary wars and battles -- Fiction; Science fiction
"And in the days of these kings shall the God of heaven set up a
kingdom which shall never be destroyed: and the kingdom shall not be
left to other people, but it shall break in pieces and consume all
these kingdoms, and it shall stand forever."
Mr. Kennelworth, I believe this prophesy is yet to be fulfilled. I
believe that the United States is the kingdom which is never to be
destroyed; that we will eventually see the United States of the World,
and that this country, which is the land of love and liberty, will
rule wisely all other nations.
I quote from Daniel:
"And whereas they commanded to leave the stump of the tree roots; thy
kingdom shall be sure unto thee, after that thou shalt have known
that the heavens do rule."
I have demonstrated this to mean that the planets rule our destinies.
It is right for us to understand them as Daniel did and interpret the
secret and hidden things.
I believe the wise men of the East, the astrologists before the birth
of Jesus Christ, knew where and when he would be born by the study of
the stars. St. Matthew, Chapter 2:2--
"Saying, Where is he that is born King of the Jews? for we have seen
his star in the east, and are come to worship him."
This shows to me that the wise men believed that certain stars arising
would indicate a great man would be born, a savior of the world. St.
Matthew, Chapter 6:6 and 8--
"But thou, when thou prayest, enter into thy closet, and when thou
hast shut the door, pray to thy Father, which is in secret; and thy
Father, which seeth in secret, shall reward thee openly."
"Be not ye therefore like unto them: for your Father knoweth what
things ye have need of before ye ask him."
I have prayed and studied in secret, and I believe I am going to
receive my reward. I believe that our heavenly Father, the ruler and
maker of this universe, does know our needs, and that he gives us
understanding according to the way we would receive it.
I was much impressed when I read St. Matthew 6:33--
"But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all
these things shall be added unto you."
I have sought that kingdom and I have found it where the good book
says it is: "The kingdom of heaven is within you." Again the good book
says:
"If ye believe in me, greater things than these shall ye do."
I believe that I can and will do great things.
Ever since I was a small boy, and used to kneel at my mother's knee,
and she taught me first to pray, I have believed in that great book
and in God's power to guide me right and give me understanding of all
things. My own father never understood me or had any sympathy with me
or my ideas, which I feel were far advanced. My own brother was my
worst enemy, and I find that the Bible bears me out in this
"And a man's foes shall be they of his own household."
My father and brother opposed me because they did not understand me.
