"The heavens" is a term employed to specify the Constellation which is
composed of planets and stars, but we use the term "Heaven" also to mean a
state of happiness and bliss attainable through certain methods, a

recently given to the world, by Camille Flammarion, and other great
astronomers, that "the earth is changing its position in the heavens at an
astonishing rate." The idea that "there shall be no night there," is
foreshadowed by the estimate that this change will give to the earth a
perpetual and uniform light, and heat.

imperfect perception of this time, when "there shall be no death," because
the animal man, subject to change, shall give place to the changeless,
deathless, spiritual man; not through cataclysms, and destruction, but
through the natural birth into a higher consciousness.
