A WONDER WORLD
. BISH.OP OF MANCHESTER LOOKS INTO FUTURE. London, Saturday. "If the accumulated human knowledge of the next 10,000 years burst suddenly upon us we should be dazed, exhilarated, and enthralled," declared the Bishop of ' Manchester (Dr. Barnes). "If other worlds conveyed to us the knowledge won by minds far transcending ours, we should be transformed." Man's present irrational instincts suggested that he was merely entering adolescence. Probably for tens of thousands of years he would progress intermittently, but even the lower levels in the future would be imm'ensely in advance of anything that we are able to picture now. Within 1,000,000 years races as far above ourselves as we1 are above the Java apeman should emerge, capable of an immeasurably more profound understanding of the inner spiritual character of the universe. "I believe in a cosmos, which, like our own, contains thousands of millions of universes, each with tens of thosuands of millions of stars," continued the Bishop. "There are beings as far in advance of ourselves as we surpass the primitive fishes."
