A clergyman rcccntlv nut foi** ward tlie theoiv that, the s ! d<>" of themoon always turned awav from the earth is ol the (-ame size and slmpe ■af' the great, pyramid which, according t<» Revelations. lem.'' Eventually, no- asserts tlw author of the theory, the moon will fall on the earth, and the hemi.snht r« turned earthwards will bury itself in. our planet, while the mramidnl New' Jerufalenii will project above the rack and ruin ol the element* as the Cvlestial City, where the faithful are to spend eternity. Ibis remarkable lunar theory has been published with a nreface by riio Bishop of Exeter.
