D. 10,000. An old man, more than six hundred years of age, was -walking with a boy through a great museum. The people who were moving -around them had beautiful forms, and faces which were indescribably -refined and spiritual. - -“Father,” said the boy, “you promised to tell me to-day about the Dark -Ages. I like to hear how men lived and thought long ago.” - -“It is no easy task to make you understand the past,” was the reply. -“It is hard to realize that man could have been so ignorant as he was -eight thousand years ago, but come with me; I will show you -something.” - -He led the boy to a cabinet containing a few time-worn books bound in -solid gold. - -“You have never seen a book,” he said, taking out a large volume and -carefully placing it on a silk cushion on a table. “There are only a -few in the leading museums of the world. Time was when there were as -many books on earth as inhabitants.” - -“I cannot understand,” said the boy with a look of perplexity on his -intellectual face. “I cannot see what people could have wanted with -them; they are not attractive; they seem to be useless.” - -The old man smiled. “When I was your age, the subject was too deep for -me; but as I grew older and made a close study of the history of the -past, the use of books gradually became plain to me. We know that in -the year 2000 they were read by the best minds. To make you understand -this, I shall first have to explain that eight thousand years ago -human beings communicated their thoughts to one another by making -sounds with their tongues, and not by mind-reading, as you and I do. -To understand me, you have simply to read my thoughts as well as your -education will permit; but primitive man knew nothing about -thought-intercourse, so he invented speech. Humanity then was divided -up in various races, and each race had a separate language. As certain -sounds conveyed definite ideas, so did signs and letters; and later, -to facilitate the exchange of thought, writing and printing were -invented. This book was printed.” - -The boy leaned forward and examined the pages closely; his young brow -clouded. “I cannot understand,” he said, “it seems so useless.” - -The old man put his delicate fingers on the page. “A line of these -words may have conveyed a valuable thought to a reader long ago,” he -said, reflectively. “In fact, this book purports to be a history of -the world up to the year 2000. Here are some pictures,” he continued, -turning the worn leaves carefully. “This is George Washington; this a -pope of a church called the Roman Catholic; this is a man named -Gladstone, who was a great political leader in England. Pictures then, -as you see, were very crude. We have preserved some of the oil -paintings made in those days. Art was in its cradle. In producing a -painting of an object, the early artists mixed colored paints and -spread them according to taste on stretched canvas or on the walls or -windows of buildings. You know that our artists simply throw light and -darkness into space in the necessary variations, and the effect is all -that could be desired in the way of imitating nature. See that -landscape in the alcove before you. The foliage of the trees, the -grass, the flowers, the stretch of water, have every appearance of -life because the light which produces them is alive.” - -The boy looked at the scene admiringly for a few minutes, then bent -again over the book. Presently he recoiled from the pictures, a -strange look of disgust struggling in his tender features. - -“These men have awful faces,” he said. “They are so unlike people -living now. The man you call a pope looks like an animal. They all -have huge mouths and frightfully heavy jaws. Surely men could not have -looked like that.” - -“Yes,” the old man replied, gently. “There is no doubt that human -beings then bore a nearer resemblance to the lower animals than we now -do. In the sculpture and portraits of all ages we can trace a gradual -refinement in the appearances of men. The features of the human race -to-day are more ideal. Thought has always given form and expression to -faces. In those dark days the thoughts of men were not refined. Human -beings died of starvation and lack of attention in cities where there -were people so wealthy that they could not use their fortunes. And -they were so nearly related to the lower animals that they believed in -war. George Washington was for several centuries reverenced by -millions of people as a great and good man; and yet under his -leadership thousands of human beings lost their lives in battle.” - -The boy’s susceptible face turned white. - -“Do you mean that he encouraged men to kill one another?” he asked, -bending more closely over the book. - -“Yes, but we cannot blame him; he thought he was right. Millions of -his countrymen applauded him. A greater warrior than he was a man -named Napoleon Bonaparte. Washington fought under the belief that he -was doing his country a service in defending it against enemies, but -everything in history goes to prove that Bonaparte waged war to -gratify a personal ambition to distinguish himself as a hero. Wild -animals of the lowest orders were courageous, and would fight one -another till they died; and yet the most refined of the human race, -eight or nine thousand years ago, prided themselves on the same -ferocity of nature. Women, the gentlest half of humanity, honored men -more for bold achievements in shedding blood than for any other -quality. But murder was not only committed in wars; men in private -life killed one another; fathers and mothers were now and then so -depraved as to put their own children to death; and the highest -tribunals of the world executed murderers without dreaming that it was -wrong, erroneously believing that to kill was the only way to prevent -killing.” - -“Did no one in those days realize that it was horrible?” asked the -youth. - -“Yes,” answered the father, “as far back as ten thousand years ago -there was an humble man, it is said, who was called Jesus Christ. He -went from place to place, telling every one he met that the world -would be better if men would love one another as themselves.” - -“What kind of man was he?” asked the boy, with kindling eyes. - -“He was a spiritual genius,” was the earnest reply, “and the greatest -that has ever lived.” - -“Did he prevent them from killing one another?” asked the youth, with -a tender upward glance. - -“No, for he himself was killed by men who were too barbarous to -understand him. But long after his death his words were remembered. -People were not civilized enough to put his teachings into practice, -but they were able to see that he was right.” - -“After he was killed, did the people not do as he had told them?” -asked the youth, after a pause of several minutes. - -“It seems not,” was the reply. “They said no human being could live as -he had directed. And when he had been dead for several centuries, -people began to say that he was the Son of God who had come to earth -to show men how to live. Some even believed that he was God himself.” - -“Did they believe that he was a person like ourselves?” - -The old man reflected for a few minutes, then, looking into the boy’s -eager face, he answered: “That subject will be hard for you to -understand. I will try to make it plain. To the unformed minds of -early humanity there could be nothing without a personal creator. As -man could build a house with his own hands, and was superior to his -work, so he argued that some unknown being, greater than all visible -things, had made the universe. They called that being by different -names according to the language they spoke. In English the word used -was ‘God.’” - -“They believed that somebody had made the universe!” said the boy, -“how very strange!” - -“No, not somebody as you comprehend it,” replied the father gently, -“but some vague, infinite being who punished the evil and rewarded the -good. Men could form no idea of a creator that did not in some way -resemble themselves; and as they could subdue their enemies through -fear and by the infliction of pain, so did they believe that God would -punish those who did not please him. Some people long ago believed -that God’s punishment was inflicted after death for eternity. The -numerous beliefs about the personality and laws of the creator caused -more bloodshed in the gloomy days of the past than anything else. -Religion was the foundation of many of the most horrible wars. People -committed thousands of crimes in the name of the God of the universe. -Men and women were burned alive because they would not believe certain -creeds, and yet they adhered to convictions equally as preposterous; -but you will learn all these things later in life. That picture before -you was the last queen of England, called Victoria.” - -“I hoped that the women would not have such repulsive features as the -men,” said the boy, looking critically at the picture, “but this face -makes me shudder. Why do they all look so coarse and brutal?” - -“People living when this queen reigned had the most degrading habit -that ever blackened the history of mankind.” - -“What was that?” asked the youth. - -“The consumption of flesh. They believed that animals, fowls, and fish -were created to be eaten.” - -“Is it possible?” The boy shuddered convulsively, and turned away from -the book. “I understand now why their faces repel me so. I do not like -to think that we have descended from such people.” - -“They knew no better,” said the father. “As they gradually became more -refined they learned to burn the meat over flames and to cook it in -heated vessels to change its appearance. The places where animals were -killed and sold were withdrawn to retired places. Mankind was slowly -turning from the habit, but they did not know it. As early as 2050 -learned men, calling themselves vegetarians, proved conclusively that -the consumption of such food was cruel and barbarous, and that it -retarded refinement and mental growth. However, it was not till about -2300 that the vegetarian movement became of marked importance. The -most highly educated classes in all lands adopted vegetarianism, and -only the uneducated continued to kill and eat animals. The vegetarians -tried for years to enact laws prohibiting the consumption of flesh, -but opposition was very strong. In America in 2320 a colony was formed -consisting of about three hundred thousand vegetarians. They purchased -large tracts of land in what was known as the Indian Territory, and -there made their homes, determined to prove by example the efficacy of -their tenets. Within the first year the colony had doubled its number: -people joined it from all parts of the globe. In the year 4000 it was -a country of its own, and was the wonder of the world. The brightest -minds were born there. The greatest discoveries and inventions were -made by its inhabitants. In 4030 Gillette discovered the process of -manufacturing crystal. Up to that time people had built their houses -of natural stone, inflammable wood, and metals; but the new material, -being fireproof and beautiful in its various colors, was used for all -building purposes. In 4050 Holloway found the submerged succession of -mountain chains across the Atlantic Ocean, and intended to construct a -bridge on their summits; but the vast improvement in air ships -rendered his plans impracticable. - -“In 4051 John Saunders discovered and put into practice -thought-telegraphy. This discovery was the signal for the introduction -in schools and colleges of the science of mind-reading, and by the -year 5000 so great had been the progress in that branch of knowledge -that words were spoken only among the lowest of the uneducated. In no -age of the world’s history has there been such an important discovery. -It civilized the world. Its early promoters did not dream of the vast -good mind-reading would accomplish. Slowly it killed evil. Societies -for the prevention of evil thought were organized in all lands. -Children were born pure of mind and grew up in purity. Crime was -choked out of existence. If a man had an evil thought, it was read in -his heart, and he was not allowed to keep it. Men at first shunned -evil for fear of detection, and then grew to love purity. - -“In the year 6021 all countries of the world, having then a common -language, and being drawn together in brotherly love by constant -exchange of thought, agreed to call themselves a union without ruler -or rulers. It was the greatest event in the history of the world. -Certain sensitive mind students in Germany, who had for years been -trying to communicate with other planets through the channel of -thought, declared that, owing to the terrestrial unanimity of purpose -in that direction, they had received mental impressions from other -worlds, and that thorough interplanetary intercourse was a future -possibility. - -“Important inventions were made as the mind of humanity grew more -elevated. Thornton discovered the plan to heat the earth’s surface -from its internal fire, and this discovery made journeys to the -wonderful ice-bound countries situated at the North and the South -Poles easy of accomplishment. At the North Pole, in the extensive -concave lands, was found a peculiar race of men. Their sun was the -great perpetually boiling lake of lava which bubbled from the centre -of the earth in the bottom of their bowl-shaped world. And a strange -religion was theirs! They believed that the earth was a monster on -whose hide they had to live for a mortal lifetime, and that to the -good was given the power after death to walk over the icy waste to -their god, whose starry eyes they could see twinkling in space, and -that the evil were condemned to feed the fire in the stomach of the -monster as long as it lived. They told beautiful stories about the -creation of their world, and held that if they lived too near the hot, -dazzling mouth of evil, they would become blinded to the soft, -forgiving eyes of the god of space. Hence they suffered the extreme -cold of the lands near the frozen seas, believing that the physical -ordeal prepared them for the icy journey to immortal rest after death. -But there were those who hungered after the balmy atmosphere and the -wonderful fruits and flowers that grew in the lowlands, and they lived -there in indolence and so-called sin.” - -The old man and his son left the museum and walked into a wonderful -park. Flowers of the most beautiful kinds and of sweetest fragrance -grew on all sides. They came to a tall tower, four thousand feet in -height, built of manufactured crystal. Something, like a great white -bird, a thousand feet long, flew across the sky and settled down on -the tower’s summit. - -“This was one of the most wonderful inventions of the Seventieth -century,” said the old man. “The early inhabitants of the earth could -not have dreamed that it would be possible to go around it in -twenty-four hours. In fact, there was a time when they were not able -to go around it at all. Scientists were astonished when a man called -Malburn, a great inventor, announced that, at a height of four -thousand feet, he could disconnect an air ship from the laws of -gravitation, and cause it to stand still in space till the earth had -turned over. Fancy what must have been that immortal genius’ feelings -when he stood in space and saw the earth for the first time whirling -beneath him!” - -They walked on for some distance across the park till they came to a -great instrument made to magnify the music in light. Here they paused -and seated themselves. - -“It will soon be night,” said the old man. “The tones are those of -bleeding sunset. I came here last evening to listen to the musical -struggle between the light of dying day and that of the coming stars. -The sunlight had been playing a powerful solo; but the gentle chorus -of the stars, led by the moon, was inexplicably touching. Light is the -voice of immortality; it speaks in all things.” - -An hour passed. It was growing dark. - -“Tell me what immortality is,” said the boy. “What does life lead to?” - -“We do not know,” replied the old man. “If we knew we would be -infinite. Immortality is increasing happiness for all time; it is” — - -A meteor shot across the sky. There was a burst of musical laughter -among the singing stars. The old man bent over the boy’s face and -kissed it. “Immortality,” said he—“immortality must be love immortal.” - -*** END OF THE PROJECT GUTENBERG EBOOK IN THE YEAR TEN THOUSAND *** - -Updated editions will replace the previous one--the old editions will -be renamed. - -Creating the works from print editions not protected by U.S. copyright -law means that no one owns a United States copyright in these works, -so the Foundation (and you!) can copy and distribute it in the -United States without permission and without paying copyright -royalties.

D. 10,000. An old man, more than six hundred years of age, was -walking with a boy through a great museum. The people who were moving -around them had beautiful forms, and faces which were indescribably -refined and spiritual.</p> - -<p>“Father,” said the boy, “you promised to tell me to-day about the Dark -Ages. I like to hear how men lived and thought long ago.”</p> - -<p>“It is no easy task to make you understand the past,” was the reply. -“It is hard to realize that man could have been so ignorant as he was -eight thousand years ago, but come with me; I will show you -something.”</p> - -<p>He led the boy to a cabinet containing a few time-worn books bound in -solid gold.</p> - -<p>“You have never seen a book,” he said, taking out a large volume and -carefully placing it on a silk cushion on a table. “There are only a -few in the leading museums of the world. Time was when there were as -many books on earth as inhabitants.”</p> - -<p>“I cannot understand,” said the boy with a look of perplexity on his -intellectual face. “I cannot see what people could have wanted with -them; they are not attractive; they seem to be useless.”</p> - -<p>The old man smiled. “When I was your age, the subject was too deep for -me; but as I grew older and made a close study of the history of the -past, the use of books gradually became plain to me. We know that in -the year 2000 they were read by the best minds. To make you understand -this, I shall first have to explain that eight thousand years ago -human beings communicated their thoughts to one another by making -sounds with their tongues, and not by mind-reading, as you and I do. -To understand me, you have simply to read my thoughts as well as your -education will permit; but primitive man knew nothing about -thought-intercourse, so he invented speech. Humanity then was divided -up in various races, and each race had a separate language. As certain -sounds conveyed definite ideas, so did signs and letters; and later, -to facilitate the exchange of thought, writing and printing were -invented. This book was printed.”</p> - -<p>The boy leaned forward and examined the pages closely; his young brow -clouded. “I cannot understand,” he said, “it seems so useless.”</p> - -<p>The old man put his delicate fingers on the page. “A line of these -words may have conveyed a valuable thought to a reader long ago,” he -said, reflectively. “In fact, this book purports to be a history of -the world up to the year 2000. Here are some pictures,” he continued, -turning the worn leaves carefully. “This is George Washington; this a -pope of a church called the Roman Catholic; this is a man named -Gladstone, who was a great political leader in England. Pictures then, -as you see, were very crude. We have preserved some of the oil -paintings made in those days. Art was in its cradle. In producing a -painting of an object, the early artists mixed colored paints and -spread them according to taste on stretched canvas or on the walls or -windows of buildings. You know that our artists simply throw light and -darkness into space in the necessary variations, and the effect is all -that could be desired in the way of imitating nature. See that -landscape in the alcove before you. The foliage of the trees, the -grass, the flowers, the stretch of water, have every appearance of -life because the light which produces them is alive.”</p> - -<p>The boy looked at the scene admiringly for a few minutes, then bent -again over the book. Presently he recoiled from the pictures, a -strange look of disgust struggling in his tender features.</p> - -<p>“These men have awful faces,” he said. “They are so unlike people -living now. The man you call a pope looks like an animal. They all -have huge mouths and frightfully heavy jaws. Surely men could not have -looked like that.”</p> - -<p>“Yes,” the old man replied, gently. “There is no doubt that human -beings then bore a nearer resemblance to the lower animals than we now -do. In the sculpture and portraits of all ages we can trace a gradual -refinement in the appearances of men. The features of the human race -to-day are more ideal. Thought has always given form and expression to -faces. In those dark days the thoughts of men were not refined. Human -beings died of starvation and lack of attention in cities where there -were people so wealthy that they could not use their fortunes. And -they were so nearly related to the lower animals that they believed in -war. George Washington was for several centuries reverenced by -millions of people as a great and good man; and yet under his -leadership thousands of human beings lost their lives in battle.”</p> - -<p>The boy’s susceptible face turned white.</p> - -<p>“Do you mean that he encouraged men to kill one another?” he asked, -bending more closely over the book.</p> - -<p>“Yes, but we cannot blame him; he thought he was right. Millions of -his countrymen applauded him. A greater warrior than he was a man -named Napoleon Bonaparte. Washington fought under the belief that he -was doing his country a service in defending it against enemies, but -everything in history goes to prove that Bonaparte waged war to -gratify a personal ambition to distinguish himself as a hero. Wild -animals of the lowest orders were courageous, and would fight one -another till they died; and yet the most refined of the human race, -eight or nine thousand years ago, prided themselves on the same -ferocity of nature. Women, the gentlest half of humanity, honored men -more for bold achievements in shedding blood than for any other -quality. But murder was not only committed in wars; men in private -life killed one another; fathers and mothers were now and then so -depraved as to put their own children to death; and the highest -tribunals of the world executed murderers without dreaming that it was -wrong, erroneously believing that to kill was the only way to prevent -killing.”</p> - -<p>“Did no one in those days realize that it was horrible?” asked the -youth.</p> - -<p>“Yes,” answered the father, “as far back as ten thousand years ago -there was an humble man, it is said, who was called Jesus Christ. He -went from place to place, telling every one he met that the world -would be better if men would love one another as themselves.”</p> - -<p>“What kind of man was he?” asked the boy, with kindling eyes.</p> - -<p>“He was a spiritual genius,” was the earnest reply, “and the greatest -that has ever lived.”</p> - -<p>“Did he prevent them from killing one another?” asked the youth, with -a tender upward glance.</p> - -<p>“No, for he himself was killed by men who were too barbarous to -understand him. But long after his death his words were remembered. -People were not civilized enough to put his teachings into practice, -but they were able to see that he was right.”</p> - -<p>“After he was killed, did the people not do as he had told them?” -asked the youth, after a pause of several minutes.</p> - -<p>“It seems not,” was the reply. “They said no human being could live as -he had directed. And when he had been dead for several centuries, -people began to say that he was the Son of God who had come to earth -to show men how to live. Some even believed that he was God himself.”</p> - -<p>“Did they believe that he was a person like ourselves?”</p> - -<p>The old man reflected for a few minutes, then, looking into the boy’s -eager face, he answered: “That subject will be hard for you to -understand. I will try to make it plain. To the unformed minds of -early humanity there could be nothing without a personal creator. As -man could build a house with his own hands, and was superior to his -work, so he argued that some unknown being, greater than all visible -things, had made the universe. They called that being by different -names according to the language they spoke. In English the word used -was ‘God.’”</p> - -<p>“They believed that somebody had made the universe!” said the boy, -“how very strange!”</p> - -<p>“No, not somebody as you comprehend it,” replied the father gently, -“but some vague, infinite being who punished the evil and rewarded the -good. Men could form no idea of a creator that did not in some way -resemble themselves; and as they could subdue their enemies through -fear and by the infliction of pain, so did they believe that God would -punish those who did not please him. Some people long ago believed -that God’s punishment was inflicted after death for eternity. The -numerous beliefs about the personality and laws of the creator caused -more bloodshed in the gloomy days of the past than anything else. -Religion was the foundation of many of the most horrible wars. People -committed thousands of crimes in the name of the God of the universe. -Men and women were burned alive because they would not believe certain -creeds, and yet they adhered to convictions equally as preposterous; -but you will learn all these things later in life. That picture before -you was the last queen of England, called Victoria.”</p> - -<p>“I hoped that the women would not have such repulsive features as the -men,” said the boy, looking critically at the picture, “but this face -makes me shudder. Why do they all look so coarse and brutal?”</p> - -<p>“People living when this queen reigned had the most degrading habit -that ever blackened the history of mankind.”</p> - -<p>“What was that?” asked the youth.</p> - -<p>“The consumption of flesh. They believed that animals, fowls, and fish -were created to be eaten.”</p> - -<p>“Is it possible?” The boy shuddered convulsively, and turned away from -the book. “I understand now why their faces repel me so. I do not like -to think that we have descended from such people.”</p> - -<p>“They knew no better,” said the father. “As they gradually became more -refined they learned to burn the meat over flames and to cook it in -heated vessels to change its appearance. The places where animals were -killed and sold were withdrawn to retired places. Mankind was slowly -turning from the habit, but they did not know it. As early as 2050 -learned men, calling themselves vegetarians, proved conclusively that -the consumption of such food was cruel and barbarous, and that it -retarded refinement and mental growth. However, it was not till about -2300 that the vegetarian movement became of marked importance. The -most highly educated classes in all lands adopted vegetarianism, and -only the uneducated continued to kill and eat animals. The vegetarians -tried for years to enact laws prohibiting the consumption of flesh, -but opposition was very strong. In America in 2320 a colony was formed -consisting of about three hundred thousand vegetarians. They purchased -large tracts of land in what was known as the Indian Territory, and -there made their homes, determined to prove by example the efficacy of -their tenets. Within the first year the colony had doubled its number: -people joined it from all parts of the globe. In the year 4000 it was -a country of its own, and was the wonder of the world. The brightest -minds were born there. The greatest discoveries and inventions were -made by its inhabitants. In 4030 Gillette discovered the process of -manufacturing crystal. Up to that time people had built their houses -of natural stone, inflammable wood, and metals; but the new material, -being fireproof and beautiful in its various colors, was used for all -building purposes. In 4050 Holloway found the submerged succession of -mountain chains across the Atlantic Ocean, and intended to construct a -bridge on their summits; but the vast improvement in air ships -rendered his plans impracticable.</p> - -<p>“In 4051 John Saunders discovered and put into practice -thought-telegraphy. This discovery was the signal for the introduction -in schools and colleges of the science of mind-reading, and by the -year 5000 so great had been the progress in that branch of knowledge -that words were spoken only among the lowest of the uneducated. In no -age of the world’s history has there been such an important discovery. -It civilized the world. Its early promoters did not dream of the vast -good mind-reading would accomplish. Slowly it killed evil. Societies -for the prevention of evil thought were organized in all lands. -Children were born pure of mind and grew up in purity. Crime was -choked out of existence. If a man had an evil thought, it was read in -his heart, and he was not allowed to keep it. Men at first shunned -evil for fear of detection, and then grew to love purity.</p> - -<p>“In the year 6021 all countries of the world, having then a common -language, and being drawn together in brotherly love by constant -exchange of thought, agreed to call themselves a union without ruler -or rulers. It was the greatest event in the history of the world. -Certain sensitive mind students in Germany, who had for years been -trying to communicate with other planets through the channel of -thought, declared that, owing to the terrestrial unanimity of purpose -in that direction, they had received mental impressions from other -worlds, and that thorough interplanetary intercourse was a future -possibility.</p> - -<p>“Important inventions were made as the mind of humanity grew more -elevated. Thornton discovered the plan to heat the earth’s surface -from its internal fire, and this discovery made journeys to the -wonderful ice-bound countries situated at the North and the South -Poles easy of accomplishment. At the North Pole, in the extensive -concave lands, was found a peculiar race of men. Their sun was the -great perpetually boiling lake of lava which bubbled from the centre -of the earth in the bottom of their bowl-shaped world. And a strange -religion was theirs! They believed that the earth was a monster on -whose hide they had to live for a mortal lifetime, and that to the -good was given the power after death to walk over the icy waste to -their god, whose starry eyes they could see twinkling in space, and -that the evil were condemned to feed the fire in the stomach of the -monster as long as it lived. They told beautiful stories about the -creation of their world, and held that if they lived too near the hot, -dazzling mouth of evil, they would become blinded to the soft, -forgiving eyes of the god of space. Hence they suffered the extreme -cold of the lands near the frozen seas, believing that the physical -ordeal prepared them for the icy journey to immortal rest after death. -But there were those who hungered after the balmy atmosphere and the -wonderful fruits and flowers that grew in the lowlands, and they lived -there in indolence and so-called sin.”</p> - -<p>The old man and his son left the museum and walked into a wonderful -park. Flowers of the most beautiful kinds and of sweetest fragrance -grew on all sides. They came to a tall tower, four thousand feet in -height, built of manufactured crystal. Something, like a great white -bird, a thousand feet long, flew across the sky and settled down on -the tower’s summit.</p> - -<p>“This was one of the most wonderful inventions of the Seventieth -century,” said the old man. “The early inhabitants of the earth could -not have dreamed that it would be possible to go around it in -twenty-four hours. In fact, there was a time when they were not able -to go around it at all. Scientists were astonished when a man called -Malburn, a great inventor, announced that, at a height of four -thousand feet, he could disconnect an air ship from the laws of -gravitation, and cause it to stand still in space till the earth had -turned over. Fancy what must have been that immortal genius’ feelings -when he stood in space and saw the earth for the first time whirling -beneath him!”</p> - -<p>They walked on for some distance across the park till they came to a -great instrument made to magnify the music in light. Here they paused -and seated themselves.</p> - -<p>“It will soon be night,” said the old man. “The tones are those of -bleeding sunset. I came here last evening to listen to the musical -struggle between the light of dying day and that of the coming stars. -The sunlight had been playing a powerful solo; but the gentle chorus -of the stars, led by the moon, was inexplicably touching. Light is the -voice of immortality; it speaks in all things.”</p> - -<p>An hour passed. It was growing dark.</p> - -<p>“Tell me what immortality is,” said the boy. “What does life lead to?”</p> - -<p>“We do not know,” replied the old man. “If we knew we would be -infinite. Immortality is increasing happiness for all time; it is” —</p> - -<p>A meteor shot across the sky. There was a burst of musical laughter -among the singing stars. The old man bent over the boy’s face and -kissed it. “Immortality,” said he—“immortality must be love immortal.”</p> - -<div style='display:block; margin-top:4em'>*** END OF THE PROJECT GUTENBERG EBOOK IN THE YEAR TEN THOUSAND ***</div> -<div style='text-align:left'> - -<div style='display:block; margin:1em 0'> -Updated editions will replace the previous one—the old editions will -be renamed. -</div> - -<div style='display:block; margin:1em 0'> -Creating the works from print editions not protected by U.S. copyright -law means that no one owns a United States copyright in these works, -so the Foundation (and you!) can copy and distribute it in the United -States without permission and without paying copyright -royalties.
