Vol* XV HOLLYBURN P.O., WEST VANCOUVER. B.C., THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 21et, 1940 No. 32 END OF AN ERA HOLLYBURN HALL MBMaHai This era is drawing to a dose with tha t worldwide war, which under the circumstances could not be otherwise than inevitable. And w hether civilization will crash into chaos when the cease-fire sounds or be saved by souhd thinking translated into sane action not even the wisest amongst us can foretell with any degree of likelihood, n o t.to say accuracy, That a highly developed, civilization oan pass, away suddenly is entirely possible, as the ruins of g reat cities in the jungles of Central America and Asia dumbly tell us w ithout reveal­ ing the cause or causes. Ours might have been one of the greatest eras of all time, had the progress made by humanity beemmore general instead of almost wholly and solely along the lines of the material. The Elizabethan period, for instance, produced great state- men, writers, poets, as .well as a m aterial growth due to the coterie of bold navigators who established Britain as a sea power. But this era is dying because science with its fip- plication in various ways , has been its only contribution of any importance t6 hum an progress. Science has been a t once its chief crown and its most evil genius. And such a lopsided growth was bound to end in disaster. ; , Science and its wonderful discoveries wrecked the old religious beliefs w ithout offering anything in their place while opening up the whole world to development. Enormous natural resources were rendered available due to the improvements ; in. U'ansportation and the machinery to develop them. Great fortunes were made overnight,'life becarhe more extravagant in its general use of luxuries and the mad scranlble for wealth T.

Men have always desired wealth but it-is the modern worship of riches and those who possess them th a t is th e root of the evil, especially when the old belief in a H ereafter has been largely shattered and men live for this world alone.
