FATE OF THE UNIVERSE
DEAN’S REPLY TO SCIENTISTS LONDON, Nov. 21. Tn tiie course of delivering the Warburton lectni'H in the Lincolns Inn chapel to-night Dean Inge referred to recent speculation by scientists on the probable end of the world. “If the universe is running down like a clock, as astronomers say, the clock must; have been wound up,” tho Dean said, “and whatever power wound it up once will probably be able to wind it up again. A Clod under sentence of death is no god. If there is a Clod, He must be eternal, omnipotent and creative, and must create always, It is impossible to imagine His t literally surviving His creation and living on without it. Astronomy has finally disposed of the notion of heaven as a. geographical expression. Even if our world order must at last submit to universal doom and pass out of existence, that only means that; the universe was the Unite purpose of God, having a beginning, a middle and tin end. There are probably other world , orders of which wc know nothing.” j
