BY

OLAF STAPLEDON

"There must be a new world if there is to be any world at all! That human things in our Europe can ever return to the old sorry routine, and proceed with any steadiness or continuance there; this small hope is not now a tenable one. These days of universal death must be days of universal new birth, if the ruin is not to be total and final! It is a Time to make the dullest man consider; and ask himself, Whence he came? Whither he is bound?—A veritable 'New Era,' to the foolish as well as to the wise."

Carlyle's "Latter-Day Pamphlets."
