What a remarkable invention is the airship! In it are wrapt
almost boundless possibilities for good or evil. The Christian
bound on his sacred mission may yet be able to use the viewless
air for his highway, transport himself through its soundless
solitudes, hundreds of miles before the dawning. He may
transport himself with ease from place to place and behold
all the marvels of creation on earth, having cut loose from
gravitation and being free in the infinite ocean of starlight
and sunlight.
