   "... I know that among men there are, and have been since the time of the   
   Master, differences in opinion as to when this important event is to take   
   place, and as to the meaning of the end of the world.   
      
   Well, men know just about as much now as to the time of this event as they   
   have known all down the centuries, and understand the meaning of these   
   prophecies as well as did men from my day down to the present.   
      
   In the first place, I will say, there will be no end of the world from any   
   of the causes mentioned by the preacher, and in the next place, there will   
   be no end of the world at all as understood and declared by the orthodox   
   preachers, and as is expected by most of the professing Christians.   
      
   The world, meaning the earth, will not have an end in the sense of   
   annihilation, but it will continue to revolve on its axis, and to have seed   
   time and harvest, and produce and reproduce those things that are necessary   
   to sustain human life, and have its appropriate seasons of heat and cold,   
   and move along in its orbit as it now does, until some change, we know not   
   of now, may come and destroy it; but such change, not any of the prophecies   
   of the Bible, admitting that there are prophecies, can apply to the end of   
   the world in the sense that the preacher understood and declared.   
      
   IF HUMANITY WOULD ONLY UNDERSTAND THAT THE WORLD THAT WAS LOST BY THE   
   DISOBEDIENCE OF THE FIRST PARENTS, WAS THE WORLD OF MAN'S IMMORTALITY AND   
   HAPPINESS AND NOT THE PHYSICAL WORLD, AND THAT JESUS CAME TO DECLARE THE   
   RESTORATION OF THAT WORLD UPON CONDITION, AND THE END OF THAT RESTORATION,   
   THEN WOULD THEY KNOW THAT THE MATERIAL WORLD IS NOT INVOLVED IN THE PLAN OF   
   MAN'S SALVATION, OR IN JESUS' MISSION, OR IN THE DECLARATIONS OF JESUS AS TO   
   THE COMING OF THE END.   
      
   Men will continue to be born, live a short time and die the physical death,   
   and as to each individual man the end of the material world comes when he   
   dies, for, thereafter, his habitation will be in the spirit world, and never   
   more will he have life on earth. All men at some time will have to die the   
   physical death, then why should it be necessary to include in the plan of   
   God for the salvation of men the destruction of the material world? For   
   planets and worlds and stars to crash together and destroy, would mean that   
   the orderly workings of God's laws must be interfered with, in order that   
   men might be destroyed or saved, according as they might be snatched up into   
   the air, or left to their own weakness on earth.   
      
   Such interpretations of God's intentions or plans, or of Jesus coming again   
   to earth is all wrong and absurd. Jesus will never come to establish his   
   kingdom on earth and reign as Prince of Peace and Lord of Lords, for the   
   Kingdom which he and all his followers, both on earth and in the spirit   
   world, are seeking to establish is in the Celestial Heavens, and it is the   
   Kingdom of God, not made with hands or by the mere fiat of any spirit no   
   matter how high he may be, but made and populated by the souls of men who   
   have experienced the New Birth and received the Divine Essence of the   
   Father. Of this Kingdom Jesus is the Prince, but only because of his great   
   and exceeding possession of the Divine Love of the Father, and his more   
   perfect at-onement.   
      
   Jesus is not seeking to establish a kingdom on earth, but is working for the   
   purpose of leading men to the New Birth of the spirit, and of showing them   
   the way to the Celestial Kingdom; and also is he working to help men by his   
   love and suggestions, and so also the other good spirits, to cast sin and   
   error from their hearts, and strive to regain the condition of perfect   
   manhood in the perfection of their natural love; and also to help men to get   
   in this condition of soul regeneration, or in that of the purification of   
   their natural love while they yet live on earth, so that love to God in the   
   divine sense, and love to God in the created sense and brotherly love will   
   cover the whole earth, and men be at peace and happy while yet clothed in   
   the flesh.   
      
   Such a condition of mortal existence may be called the Kingdom of God on   
   earth, but it will not be the kingdom which Jesus came to earth to   
   establish--that is the Kingdom of Heaven. This Kingdom has its seat and   
   abiding place in the Celestial Spheres whence it will never be removed.   
      
   So then, when the Bible teaches of the world coming to an end and passing   
   away it does not mean the material world, but the world of men's thoughts   
   and deeds and sinful conditions that are not in harmony with God's laws or   
   the laws of His creation. This is the world that shall be destroyed when   
   righteousness shall cover the earth as the waters do the deep, and brotherly   
   love reign among men. Even today there are some men living on the earth who   
   are so separated from the world, that as to them the world has no existence,   
   not the material world, but the world of sin and unrighteousness, which is   
   the only world to be destroyed.   
      
   There shall be wars and rumors of wars and times of trouble , etc., such as   
   never were, and then shall come the end.   
      
   Not the wars of the cannons' roars or the bursting shells or the mutilated   
   flesh, or the making of widows and orphans or the ruthless changing of   
   mortals into spirits, but the wars of the spirits of good and evil, of love   
   and hate, of purity and sin, of joy and despair, and of knowledge of truth   
   and belief in error--all to be fought in the souls of men with such   
   intensity and earnestness, creating such mind and spirit trouble as never   
   has been, and causing rumors thereof to flood the earth and the habitations   
   of men.   
      
   Then shall come the end of the world--the world of evil and sin and despair,   
   and hatred and belief in error. This world shall pass away, and truth and   
   love and peace and good will shall be established on the earth forever. The   
   earth of this present day, then becoming to men so peaceful and filled with   
   love and brotherly kindness, that to them it will seem as if the City of God   
   had been let down from heaven on to earth.   
      
   Let mortals know that Jesus has already come to earth and is among men, and   
   that since the time of his becoming the Prince of the Celestial Kingdom he   
   has been with men and spirits teaching them the way, the truth and the life.   
      
   By the Holy Spirit have the truths of the Father spoken to men as a still   
   small voice, and by the communions of souls has the Master led men to the   
   love and mercy of the Father.   
      
   As in my time when he came to the Jews with his message of love and life   
   eternal, they knew him not and rejected him, so now many men, and spirits   
   too, refuse to listen to him and learn the way through the straight gate to
