THIS WEEK’S QUESTION.
’Which is the longest river in New Zealand,? , , 0 What -Jo- you know about it. ANSWERS. There is no end to the world, but our minds are not built so that we can understand this. It; is though there is a. fence around our mind ana we can’t think further than the fence. And so when we think of the universe —which, to us means the sun, the moon, the earth, and the stars, and -which' is infinite—we imagine that it must stop somewhere and have a fence •round- it too, when it really has no end at all. , The rainbow is round because tne rays of light which give the colours come to your eye from the edge of a cone, of which, however, you see only lia’f, because of the ground getting in the way—Trixie Carter.
