God Has His Plans
One thing does seem clear from
the Bible, whatever else people
may quarrel about: The end of
the world will be
brought about by
God, not man. It
is quite possible,
as the most dis-
tinguished scien-
tists tell us, that
any one H-bomb
will totally and
instantly destroy
life in a circle of
300 square miles.
But this earth is
a
'T'HE first part of the New Test-
■L ament to be put into writing
was not any one of the gospels;
it was an epistle. Which one, is not
absolutely certain; but it may
very well have been the pair of
letters Paul wrote to the Thessal-
onians. There is much too much
in them for all of it to be put into
one Sunday school lesson. One
thing certainly seems very mod-
ern: the Thessalonians, and per-
haps Paul too, were under the im-
pression that their times were the
last times. The end of the world
seemed to be right around the cor-
ner. That was nearly 2,000 years
ago. But what with the A-bomb
and now the H-bomb, it looks as
if this ancient fear might not be
off-center at all nowadays. It Is
worth while to think—What if this
year 1953 really is the last chapter
in history?

large one, and there aren’t
enough H-bombs to carpet the
whole place. The civilized nations,
so-called, may blow each other off
the map; but there will be a.lot of
uncivilized ones left that don’t have
money for H-bombs and couldn’t
even spell the word. “Civilization
as we know it” can be destroyed
by man; but not the heavens and
the earth. This is not to call the
H-bomb a trifle; its use would be
the most colossal evil ever devised
at one stroke by mankind. But
while the use of it might well be
the last chapter for all readers of
this paper, there are people who
can’t read (in Patagonia for in-
stance) who would scarcely know
the thing had been dropped. When
God is ready to bring the whole
story of man to an end, he will do
it. Men will not.

Suppose This Is It?
St. Francis of Assisi, such a uni-
versal Christian that both the Ro-
man Catholic church and the Sal-
vation Army have claimed him for
their own, was once asked, while
he was hoeing in the garden, “What
would you do if you knew the
world was coming to an end this
afternoon?” His answer was: “I
would go on and finish this hoe-
ing.’X Paul had to deal with this
problem in the Thessalonian
church. His first letter to them got
them to thinking the end of all
things must be right around the
corner. So a good many of them
decided there wasn’t any use in
working any more. They quit their
jobs, they sat around or visited
one another’s homes and all they
talked about was, “When will it
be?” Paul’s advice (besides tell-
ing them the end was not as near
as they thought) was to get jobs
and stay on them. It was to these
people that he made his famous
remark, “If any one will not work,
let him not eat.” (II Thess. 3:10.)
Suppose the end of all things is
really near? Suppose Christ came
in glory to your town before Sun-
day? Which would be better to be
found just sitting around, or stead-
ily doing whatever duty might be
yours at the time?,
* « •
The End of the World
After all, what does the “end of
the world” mean, practically? It
means that you and the world part
company; it vanishes before your
eyes. Whatever world you exist in
from that moment on, it will not be
this one. Now it makes small dif-
ference whether the world folds
up and leaves you, or whether you
fold up and leave the world. One
thing is sure: whichever way it
is, you and this world, this world
of day and night, of sin and suf-
fering and saintliness, this world
of animals, vegetables and min-
erals—you and this world are go-
ing to part company, and you are
going to live long enough to see
that day. The big question is not
the nearness or the farness of that
day. The question is: What are
you going to put into the time be-
tween now and then? If you
will look around you, you will see
many evidences that those who
went before you made wise plans
and did good deeds not only for
their own time but for yours as
well.
