Some globe earth believer might use as a criticism for the flat earth and say, “Where is the ventilation of the earth? The earth would build up heat if it’s enclosed.”

Movements which are Conspicuously Absent
Men have harnessed energy from the volcano, the winds, the
tides, the Niagara, they have burrowed the bowels of the Earth for
coal, oil, minerals, from which they generate power, they are now
considering the possibility of atomic energy, why then have the
millions of H.P. engendered by this mighty planet revolving not
been utilized? Why have the seekers of perpetual motion given up
their quest, if we are perpetually moving?
The theory of the three motions of the Earth and subsequent
‘relativity,’ is the result of trying to cover up one lie by another.
They say that as we whirl in London at the rate of nearly eleven miles
a minute, we are shooting into space around the Sun at nearly twenty
miles a second, and the Sun itself moves around a point in space, at
the immense speed of 150,000,000 miles in a year, pulling our poor
Earth with him at the added speed—the distance that separates us
from the Sun— and in this maddening whirlwind of motions they
try to apply Euclid’s spherical trigonometry to locate distances—which
data was intended by Euclid to determine fixed points only—with the
result that they have brought out wild calculations which have been
fostered dogmatically on a gullible World, but are about as infallible
as the utterances of Borgia.
Euclid, himself the father of mathematics, believed the Earth
to be fixed, so these professing sons of his are but bastards. In the
language of the Apostle Paul. “Professing themselves to be wise,
they became fools.” How gladly does the writer turn from this
bedlam to the XIX Psalm “The Sun, which is as a bridegroom
coming out of his chamber, and rejoiceth as a strong man to run a
race. His going forth is from the end of Heaven, and his circuit
unto the ends of it.”
The one thing the fable of the revolving Earth has done, it has
shown the terrible power of a lie, a lie has the power to make a
man a mental slave…so that he dares not back the evidence of his
own senses. To deny the plain and obvious movement of the Sun he sees
before him. When he feels himself sanding on Earth utterly devoid of
motion, at the suggestion of someone else he is prepared to accept
that he is spinning furiously round. When he sees a bird flying, and
gaining over the ground, he is prepared to believe that the
ground is really travelling a great number of times faster than the
bird, finally, in order to uphold the imagination of a madman, he is
prepared to accuse his Maker of forming him a somniferous lie.
The Moral Aspect
Up to now I have only dealt with the physical phase of this;
controversy, the moral, however, has had a far greater efl^ect upon
Christendom.
Man is fundamentally a logical minded creature, capable of putting
two and two together; having been bewitched into believing that the
statements of Scripture concerning this World are not true, he has
also rejected the statements concerning the next World.
“If I have told you earthly things, and ye believe not, how shall
ye believe, if I tell you of heavenly things.” St.John 3:12.
Let us remember that “it was the Spirit of Christ in the Prophets
that testified beforehand . (1 Peter 1:11), viz., “In the Law of
Moses, and in the Prophets, and in the Psalms,” (Luke 24:47)
But if ye believe not his (Moses) writings, how shall ye believe My
words?” (John 5:47)
The outcome of these “ scientific” lies is that they have broken
down the Faith of the World. The Press, which has been foremost
in honouring liars and sneering at Scripture, is now pointing a
hypocritical linger at Bolshevism as the destroyer of Christianity.
Christianity has been destroyed in the so-called Christian Churches,
in the Schools, by false Science, by the Press, Bolshevism is merely
the harvest of such sowing, the fruit from the root. But the Scriptures
will prevail, as the waters of the Deluge, submerging the highest,
mountains, “fifteen cubits upward.”
As it is written; “The wise men are ashamed, they are dismayed
and taken :lo, they have rejected the Word of the Lord ; and what
wisdom is in them ?” Jeremiah 8:9
And also; “ Thus saith the Lord, thy Redeemer, and He that
formed thee from the womb, I am the Lord that maketh all things;
that stretcheth forth the Heavens alone; that spreadeth abroad the
Earth by Myself: That frustrateth the tokens of liars, and maketh
diviners mad; that turneth wise men backward, and maketh their
knowledge foolish; That confirmeth the Word of His servants, and
performeth the counsel of His messengers.” Isaiah 44:24-26

Explaining The Seasons
The seasons are caused by the Sun’s circuit round the Earth in
a spiral ecliptic. In the Winter Solstice (December 21st), the Sun
is vertical over the Tropic of Capricorn. Looking South from London,
he appears to make a small circuit in the Southern sky, during the
same period he is seen to cross the sky at almost overhead in Cape
Town, thus causing Summer in the Southern Hemisphere. In the
Summer Solstice (June 21st), the Sun is vertical over the Tropic of
Cancer, (nearly overhead in London), while looking North from Cape
Town, he appears to make a small circuit in the Northern sky, causing
Winter in the Southern and Summer in the Northern Hemisphere.
The supposition that the seasons are caused by the Earth’s annual
motion round the Sun at a mean distance of 92,500,000 of miles, is
grotesque.
According to Piazzi the size of the Sun is in proportion to the
Earth, “as 329,360 to 1, the diameter exceeds that of the Earth
112 times.” The Earth appears, as Biot says, by this statement,
“a mere grain of sand, as compared to the Sun.” This enormous
expanse of light focused on a rotating “ grain of sand,” at the distance
of 92 millions of miles, would cause the same season throughout it.
The paltry few miles, in comparison that separates London from
Cape Town could never cause diverse seasons, neither would the
distance from London to the Riviera justify the difference in the
climate that characterises the two places.

Scriptures Versus The Bible Of The Revolving Earth
The hypothesis introduced by Nicolas Copernicus that the Earth
revolves on an imaginary axis has been accepted as truth by the great
majority for centuries, it has been taught in the universities, schools,
and colleges of the world as a proven fact; often have atheists and others
used it to scorn the Divine inspiration of Scripture, and pitiful indeed
has been the camouflage adopted by the supposed supporters of Divine
Writ – who in reality generally agree with their opponents on this
subject – whereas their very attitude was and is a denial that the
Architect of the World could have been the Author of the Book they
profess to uphold. Let it be stated as clearly as possible that the
Scriptures teach that the Earth is round and suspended into space,
this was taught in the Word of God centuries before any philosopher
geographer or astronomer had discovered it, long before Homer had
described the Earth as a disk supported by pillars. Job had correctly
defined it as follows:
“ He stretcheth out the North over the empty place, and hangeth the
Earth upon nothing.”
In several places in Scripture is the Earth clearly described as
being round, for instance in Isaiah 40:22 we read “It is He that
sitteth upon the circle of the Earth…” Again in Proverbs 8:27,
it is written: “When He prepared the Heavens I (Wisdom) was there;
when He set a compass upon the face of the depth.” The Scriptures
further teach that it is the Sun that moves round the Earth, and not
the Earth round the Sun.
“The Sun also ariseth, and the Sun goeth down, and hasteth to
his place where he arose.”
The theory that the Earth is animated with a diurnal rotation was
started with the assumption that the heavenly luminaries are solid
planets like our Earth, and not as stated by the Lord God who made
them, “Lights” (Genesis 1:14). This erroneous conception gave
rise to the hypothesis that it would be easier to revolve one world than
a whole heaven of Worlds, but having began their argument with a
wrong assumption, it has made them wrong all the way through.
The principal luminaries are opaque as seen during the eclipses,
and this has been thought sufficient evidence to prove that they are
Worlds like unto our own, but the want of transparency is by no means
a proof of weight, a cloud, although opaque, is nevertheless lighter
than the air.
The results of recent research prove that the heavenly luminaries
are not Worlds, but lights, and should cause all men who have been
led to accept as proven Copernicus’ theory of the motions of the Earth,
to reconsider this subject. Professor H. H. Turner, of Oxford, made
the following statement regarding observations carried out on the
brightest Star in the constellation of Orion: “The most exciting
discovery as a result of measuring this Star in the winter of 1920, and
1921, and 1922 is that the diameter is changing and it looks as if the
Star is palpitating as a heart does.” Which is precisely what a light
would do, and not what a body like our Earth could ever possibly do.
It is now acknowledged, and has long been acknowledged that
Newton was entirely wrong in his theory of light. “Light,” according
to modem definition, “is the result of force causing the waves of
ether to vibrate with an almost infinite rapidity. How great that force
is can be measured by the fact that light travels round the world eight
times in a single second.” This again explains the “ infinite rapidity ”
with which the “Lights” (Gen. 1:14) seen in the Heavens travel
round the Earth.
“Swift is the Sun in his course, for he compasseth the
Heavens round about, and fetcheth his course again to his own
place in one day.” (i. Esdras, 4 : 34).
Claudius Ptolemy, the great astronomer, had the advantage over
Copernicus in that he was a geographer as well as an astronomer,
whereas the latter held some dignities in the cathedral of Thorn in
Prussia. As a geographer Ptolemy knew the absolute importance of
the stability of the four cardinal points, outside of which topography
and accurate orientation are an impossibility. Now the four cardinal
points are fixed points in the sky, as acknowledged from time
immemorial, hence we are able, by them, to plot correctly any given
point on the Earth.
Logically it would be impossible, if the Earth revolved, to make
use of the cardinal points as fixed points in the sky, for the relation of
any given place in the rotating Earth toward them must continually
change. It would be like attempting to plot a point within a fast
running wheel of a motor car in relation to a fixed spot outside.
The force of this argument is sometimes evaded by saying that
the cardinal points of the compass are imaginary points, but that
will never do. The most exacting sciences are based upon the four
points of the compass, such as the science of survey, cartography,
and, of course, navigation. Millions have trusted their lives upon
this reality of the four cardinal points. When the skies are covered
the captain at sea has only his compass and his chart to guide him, and
the life of one and all on board depends upon the points of the compass
being a verity.
“ The North and the South Thou hast created them.”
Psalm, 89:12.
Everything in the Tabernacle built by Moses was carefully
orientated as also the Temple erected by Solomon, and all its ornaments.
And he (Solomon) made a molten sea, ten cubits from one brim to
another, it was round all about. It stood upon twelve oxen, three
looking toward the North, and three looking toward the West, and three
looking toward the South, and three looking toward the East.”
(1 Kings 7;23,25.)
The Great Pyramid of Ghizeh also demonstrates how careful
the ancients were in the orientation of their buildings, and wherever
these are in existence they show no deviation from their original
orientation, which fact alone proves that the Earth is not animated
with any motion at all.
“The World also is stablished, that it cannot be moved.”
Psalm, 93:1
It is claimed that the revolutions of the Earth cause the Sun and
constellations to be overhead in different places of the Earth at times
worked out in nautical almanacs and used by navigators to determine
their bearings, but the same calculations will apply to the rising and
setting of the heavenly luminaries. Whether A moves from B, or
B from A, the effect can be the same.
The Phoenicians indeed made extensive use of the stars in
navigation, and their daring seamanship and skill can be measured
by the fact that they spanned the seas as far as Britain to the West, and
across the broad Pacific to the American continent to the East, and
they believed in the rising and setting of the stars. Mr. J. W. Perry
informs us that only one pearl-field in the whole World (the West
Australian site at Broom) escaped the vigilance and accurate knowledge
of the ancients.
Let us examine the so-called experiments which have been
instrumental in causing men to reject the statements of God and the
evidence of their own senses in order to uphold the imagination of
Copernicus.
Newton maintained that it was possible to prove the rotation of
the Earth by the means of balls dropped from a height to the ground,
he claimed that the said balls would deviate Westward, but would
fall a little to the Eastward of a Pumbline, about half an inch, he
thought, at the height of three hundred feet. The reason he gave
is this ; “ Since the top of the tower is at a greater distance from the
axis of the Earth than its base, the centrifugal force must be greater
at the former point than at the latter; the ball, in falling does not
lose its impulse, and therefore advances before its plumbline, which
strikes the foot of the tower, since it has a less impulse Eastward.”
Experiments were carried out to test this theory on January 14, 1680
by Robert Hooke in the presence of a committee appointed for the
purpose, when he tried to prove the rotation of the Earth by dropping
balls from a height of 160 feet. The results were considered so
unsatisfactory that they were not even mentioned in the Philosophical
Transactions and were entirely forgotten.
One hundred and twelve years later, a young geometrician in
Bologna, Guglielmini, tried the same experiments from the Tower
Degli Asinelli, in that city, at a height of 240 feet. These experiments
also failed to prove any movement of the Earth.
Benzenberg, a German, performed similar experiments in 1804,
from the steeple of the church of St. Michael, in Hamburg. He let
fall 30 balls, from the height of 235 feet; the balls deviated from the
perpendicular four lines Eastward and line Southward according
to the direction of the wind. This was not considered satisfactory.
Benzenberg repeated these experiments in 1805, in a coal pit, at
Schlebusch, at the height of 260 feet: and according to the fall of these
balls, dropped in a black coal pit, which balls were claimed to have
fallen five lines Eastward, Laplace, the French astronomer and atheist,
calculated that the chances are 8,000 to 1 that the Earth turns round
on its axis. Like the oracle of Delphi the answer was given from the
bowels of the Earth, it would not speak from above the ground in the
three previous trials.
Seeing that this statement of Laplace was, so to speak, the
ex cathedra utterance of “ science ” on this subject, it is interesting
to note what Napoleon, who had made him minister of the interior,
said of him. “A geometrician of the first rank,” says the emperor,
“ he did not reach mediocrity as a statesman. From the first, the
consuls became sensible that they had made a mistake in his appointment.
He never viewed any subject in its true light; he was always occupied
with subtilties; his notions were all problematic.”
Yet Protestants, who reject the infallibility of the Popes with
scorn, do nevertheless, accept the infallibility of such men as these
with fervour.
But let us assume that the experiments at Schlebusch proved
what is claimed for them, then the same principle there evolved must
apply to all other bodies that are independent of the Earth. An
aeroplane in flight is as much independent of the Earth as the aforesaid
dropping balls, and if these have a speed differing from, and
independent of the supposed speed of the Earth, then the same
characteristic must distinguish the aircraft; its movement also should
be independent of that of the Earth; in which case, such an
aeroplane travelling Westward to America from England should have
the full benefit of America rotating Eastward, and both the continent
of America and the aeroplane should meet, one above the other, in
about four hours. This statement and the balls dropped by
Benzenberg stand or fall together.
But how many are there among those who teach this fable as
truth, that have the courage of their convictions to the extent of
undertaking this flight, with say five hours supply of petrol?
Ptolemy has indeed advanced similar arguments to prove the
impossibility of the rotation of the Earth, and to parry these they
have been obliged to imagine that the air participates in this motion.
If this were the case, the air would obviously travel in one direction,
viz., the supposed direction of the Earth, how could any aircraft
travel against such a furious blast ? How could such an accomplished
feat as sky-writing be carried out in such a tornado?
Ptolemy shows very ingeniously that the Earth must be at the
centre of the celestial sphere. He proves that unless this were the
case, each star would not move with the absolute uniformity which
does characterise it. He shows also that the Earth could not be
animated by any movement of transition. “The Earth,” argued
Ptolemy, “ lies at the centre of the celestial sphere. If the Earth were
to be endowed with movement, it would not lie always at this point,
it must therefore shift to some other part of the sphere. The movements
of the stars, however, preclude this, and therefore the Earth must be as
devoid of any movement of translation as it is of rotation.”

Introduction
The destruction and consumption of civilization, as it has been
called, is now obvious to all, and the uppermost thought in the mind
of the majority is—What is to take its place?
To the Christian there is only one answer, for all who are truly
in Christ are as Abraham of old of whom it is written “For he looked
for a city, which hath foundations whose Builder and Maker is God.”
Can anybody say that God is the builder of Democracy
or Bolshevism? Take Democracy which is usually defined as the
rule of the people, by the people, for the people; this brings to our
remembrance the attempted rule of Korah, Dathan and Abiran, who
had gathered all the congregation against Moses. What else was that
but the voice of the people, or the voice of Democracy against God’s
ruling. But what was the answer of God ? “ The earth opened
her mouth, and swallowed them up, and their houses, and all that
appertained unto Korah and all his people.”
The Christian ideal—which allows of no via media—is no
nationality in Christ, all aliens outside of Christ. Such a spiritual
Christendom must be built out of the present material, national, war
distorted Christless-dom. The choice between the nations is either
to find salvation by an internationalism of love in the truth as taught
by Christ, or perish.
Without this credo, Bolshevism would never have been able to
gain power, for only by denying the existence of God could they have
launched upon a wholesale massacre of the non-proletariat classes and
well-to-do farmers in order to confiscate all private properties. The
conscience must first be quenched for such a policy. Thus also ended
the Judia dispensation in the first century A.D. The lowest overthrew
and killed off the upper classes, who’indeed deserved such a judgment.
But how can a man like Stalin, who had once studied to become
a priest, justify his utter rejection of religion?
The answer, is by science, the falsely so-called science which
Saint Paul warns us to beware of.
In a speech made by Marshal Stalin, I quote the following:—
“They talk about science. The data of science have
always been tested by practice and experience…if it were
otherwise, we should have had no science at all, we should have
had no astronomy, and we would still have had to get along vsdth
the outworn system of Ptolemy ; we should have had no biology,
and we would still be comforting ourselves with the legend of
the creation of man.”
Copernicus’ theory of the revolving earth, and Darwin’s
“ evolution ” have therefore made possible the monster state of
atheism in Russia.
Yet these two theories are accepted as facts and taught in schools
in the Western so-called Christian states, and believed by clergy and
laymen, thus showing how impossible it is for them to accept and
believe the doctrine of Christ, and what hypocrisy is their profession of
such a faith.
We cannot deny that the attitude of the Bolsheviks is more logical
than the attitude of the Western Democracies, for if they do not believe
the Bible in its teaching of earthly things, neither can they consistently
accept it in relation to spiritual things.
“ If I told you earthly things, and you believe not, how shall ye
believe, if I tell you of heavenly things ?” John 3:12.
It was precisely this consideration that induced me to issue the
pamphlet “Scripture Versus the Fable of the Revolving Earth” in
April, 1924, which is now reprinted in this book. The next article
“The Policy of Constantine and its Decline ” was also printed in
London in August, 1924, to show the difference between the Christian
Doctrine and the canons initiated by the Emperor Constantine, which
canons are the basis of the civilization which is now in the process
of disintegration. Not having been planted by the Lord Jesus Christ,
it is now being rooted up, as foretold in the article in question.
The third work “ How are the Dead Raised up? And with what
Body do they Come?” was printed in answer to the book published by
the Church of England “ Doctrine in the Church of England” being
the report of the Commission on Christian Doctrine appointed by the
Archbishops of Canterbury and York in 1922.
Bolshevism on the other hand is supposed to be the rule of the
proletariat, but in reality it is the dictatorship of a very limited hierarchy
having for its foundation atheism.
Stalin’s credo is “ Communists who hinder the broadest development of
anti-religious propaganda have no place in the ranks of the party.”
