To the Editor of the "Norta-Cuina Dairy News."
Sir,—"Sanity 1' says in his letter that the stars are not all upon the earth. It would he extremely interesting if he would be so good as to tell us whence they are to fall and to what point they will arrive when they do fall and further whether they will fall up or down.
A man standing on the earth at Shanghai looks up above his head and down towards his feet: but a continuing of this down line to the fect and thence the head of the Antipodean becomes no long-w down but up, In the infinity of space there can be no such thing as falling The stars are all travelling in their orbits and if by any con-evitable chance one of them. was put out of its orbit, could not possibly fall anywhere, but would travel along a new orbit unless if came into collision with another and star then the sparks would In other words the stars falling outside the earth is a meaningless phrase.
Consequently whatever the Bible means by the stars falling impossible te mean what "Sanity J" thinks in this his second effort.
As a matter of fact references in the prophetic Scriptures the stin, moon, stars, firmament and so on do not refer to these physical structures. They carry a symbolical meaning which is, however, perfectly clear.
