| "The Lord has literally poured out His spirit upon all flesh, as the
accomplishments of man today give full witness. It is significant that
this great thrust forward in man"s achievement and progress and this
pouring out of knowledge is not confined to any one nation or people, but
it seems that new knowledge from heaven comes simultaneously to every
advanced, civilized nation. No nation has a corner on the knowledge God is
pouring down from heaven upon all flesh. With this great flood of knowledge
and light, men, not recognizing its source, do become imbued with
self-importance and power. Recently a Russian scientist, E. T. Fadeyev,
head of the scientific-atheistic section of the journal Science and Life,
is quoted as saying: Successful flights of earth satellites and rockets
cast doubt on the existence of God and refute religious dogma. Rockets and
satellites have encountered no angels nor discovered a Supreme Being.
Religious dogma holds that it is possible to ascend to heaven only through
divine intervention. But in an age of jet aircraft and high altitude
rockets, artificial earth satellites and interplanetary ships, it is
comical to argue that man cannot reach the heavens." | |

| "Which way shall I fly Infinite wrath and infinite despair? Which way
I fly is hell; myself am hell; And in the lowest deep a lower deep, Still
threat"ning to devour me, opens wide, To which the hell I suffer seems a
heaven." | |

John Milton

| "ZENITH, n. The point in the heavens directly overhead to a man
standing or a growing cabbage. A man in bed or a cabbage in the pot is not
considered as having a zenith, though Horizontalists hold that the posture
of the body was immaterial." | |
