He stated that since we have more youth in school today than ever before he calculates that civilization was never so prosperous as today. He failed to tell us that not one in 25 of the graduates can find a Job. He overlooked also the fact that our prisons are filled with young men under 23 years of age. He forgot to mention the simple little fact that crime is on the increase from year to year and that and gets the approval of ministers of the gospel today.

He also overlooks the fact if he ever discovered it, that civilization has thrice before this, tumbled down under the influence of those, like him, who go about the country crying "don't be alarmed, this stuff will last a million years yet and who cares what happens a million years hence." He forgets, or never heard that Christ said that when we get into the muddle in which we are now, for us to get ready to flee to the mountains, and be ready for desperate times, for civilization will perish from the earth.
