206 THAT MARVEL— THE MOVIE quently demonstrated. Scientists and historians have of late served as continuity writers for the great picture drama of man's past, and, lo, the story of the race reveals itself not as scattered, unrelated incidents but as a majestic, coordinated tale, but partially told, whose denouement may be more splendid than we have hitherto dared to hope it could be. No student of world affairs can fail to be impressed, despite the cataclysm that overtook the race in 1914, by the pathetic but hopeful and inspiring fact that mankind, by a reasonable and not too difficult confinement of his energies to civilized, peaceful, constructive activities, could raise itself to a much higher plane of civilization in a comparatively short time from the slough of despondency in which it now finds itself. All that is necessary to give Man the buoyancy, courage and incentive necessary to overcome the evils that beset the world is the assurance that the iconoclasm that periodically destroys his own handiwork, the destructive mischievousness of an evil spirit that he has not as yet exorcised, shall never again be allowed to function, that widespread wars shall be permanently relegated to the bloody, accusatory past. The osteopaths assert that a slight maladjustment of even a small bone in a man's skeleton may doom him to death from some fatal malady seemingly unrelated to the framework of his body.
