262 THE UNIVERSE 



But this vast electric universe is stable, enduring, 

 self-sustaining and eternal; and no law or act of 

 conflict among its millions of suns and planets has 

 ever been discovered, or is likely ever to be, the 

 conjectures and sophisticated prognostications of 

 pessimistic scientists to the contrary notwithstand- 

 ing. Can any reasoning, common thinker, aside from 

 the scientists, after viewing our moon swinging 

 around our earth, as it has done for thousands of 

 years, only 240,000 miles from us, without ap- 

 proaching a mile nearer the earth in all that time, 

 believe there is any danger of a collision between 

 them? The law that holds them apart thousands 

 and millions of years will continue to do so; and 

 their collision is virtually a matter of impossibility 

 until the electric laws of the universe are abrogated. 

 Can any one believe that the little leaden planet 

 Mercury that has been swinging so close around 

 our enormous sun only thirty millions of miles 

 from it for millions of years could keep its con- 

 stant orbit unless there was an irresistible law, as 

 omnipotent and changeless as Deity, that has and 

 will forever keep it from falling into the sun. 



Look at the planet of Mars with two satellites, 

 of Jupiter with six, and Saturn with eight, flying 

 swiftly around their primaries, all only a few thou- 

 sand miles from their surface, and some of them 

 going in different directions could any balancing 

 force, any law of gravitation, keep them from fall- 

 ing into their primaries? Every one of them is a 

 contradiction of the law of gravity, and puts the 

 stamp of falsity on all its claims. 



But they all show there is a law which defies 

 so-called gravity and is a correlative force, and that
