Settled In Heaven
T. DeWitt Talmage
Psalms, 119: 89
This world has been in process of change ever since it was created. Mountains born, mountains dying, and they have both cradle and grave. Once this planet was all fluid, and no being, such as you or I have ever seen, could have lived on it a minute. Our hemi- sphere turns its face to the sun, and then turns its back. The axis of the earth's revolution has shifted. The earth's center of gravity is changed. Once flowers grew in the Arctic and there was snow in the Tropic. There has been a re-distribution of land and sea, the land crumbling into the sea, the sea swallowing the land. Ice and fire have fought for the possession of this planet. The chemical composition of the air is different now from what it once was. Volcanoes once terribly alive are dead, not one throb of fiery pulse, not one breath of vapor. The ocean changing its amount of saline qualities. The internal fires of the earth are gradually eating their way to the surface. Upheaval and subsidence of vast realms of continent.
Moravians in Greenland have removed their boat poles because the advancing sea submerged them. Linneus records that eighty-seven years before a rock was one hundred feet nearer the water than when he wrote. Forests have been buried by the sea, and land that was cultured by farmer's hoe can be touched only by sailor's anchor. Loch Nevis of Scot- land, and Dingle Bay of Ireland, and the fjords of Norway, where pleasure boats now float, were once valleys and glens. Many of the islands of the sea are the tops of sunken mountains. Six thousand miles of the Pacific Ocean are sinking. The diameter of the earth, according to scientific announcement, is one hundred and eighty-nine miles less than it was. The entire configuration of the earth is altered. Hills are denuded of their forests. The frosts and the waters and the air bombard the earth till it surrenders to the assault. The so-called " everlasting hills " do not last. Many ...
