CONCLUSIONS AS TO POPULATION INCREASE 123 
It may be that his future was written upon the Tablets 
of Destiny, zons before his world, came into being. 
And thus one cannot learn whether the present 
tendencies of Man’s life on earth are but a hint of the 
passing of this civilisation, or are remediable through 
the labours of the leaders of humanity. Thus atten- 
tion to the menaces of the future may presage the 
lifting of the World’s Shadow, or may be merely the 
informing of human intellect of the dark promise of 
the immediate Future.
