They shall hunger no more, neither thirst any more; neither shall the sun light on them, nor any heat. <\/i><\/p>\n

2171<\/b> Highest Temperatures<\/b><\/p>\n
The highest known temperature in the shade in Britain occurred on July 22, 1868, at Tonbridge in Kent when the heat reached 100.4\u00b0F. But the world record is held by Libya where a temperature of 136.4\u00f8F was recorded in 1922. <\/p>\n
According to U. S. Air Force experiments, the highest dry-air temperature that could be endured by naked men was found to be 400\u00b0F in 1960. For heavily-clothed men, the highest is 500\u00f8F. (Note that steaks require only 325\u00f8F). <\/p>\n
2172<\/b> A Tribulation Scene<\/b><\/p>\n
Take a day or two with the summer temperatures in the 90\u2019s(F) and you read of power brownouts. Radio announcers implore people to reduce their use of electricity, to turn off their air conditioners. Imagine with the heat of this sun in the previous judgment of the tribulation, the mass power failure that will occur. <\/p>\n
Then comes complete darkness! What a contrast! And with people switching on lights, autos constantly employing lights, more power failure and battery failures! <\/p>\n
If black dust is added to the atmosphere this quite possibly will approach total darkness with no electric lights or light from any scientific device able to penetrate this blackness. Think of the chaos on the highways, in hospitals \u2026 children in school unable to come home! <\/p>\n

2173<\/b> Cursing The Sun<\/b><\/p>\n
The historian Herodotus tells of a people in Africa in the neighborhood of Mount Atlas whose daily custom was to curse the sun when it rises high in the heavens, because its excessive heat scorched and tormented them. <\/p>\n
2174<\/b> Hiroshima\u2019s Heat Wave<\/b><\/p>\n
In the simpler form the heat blast alone over Hiroshima caused the greatest number of deaths. It is no small wonder when we consider the force and intensity of that blast. The temperature at the center thereof reached, momentarily, an officially estimated 60 million degrees centigrade (127,200,000 F. ), three times the temperature of the sun, and 10,000 times the temperature of the surface of the sun! <\/p>\n

2175<\/b> Blind Leads The Sighted<\/b><\/p>\n
In the summer of 1959 on one of the hottest days in August, a power failure in New York City shut of air conditioners, fans and other electrical equipment in hundreds of apartments and offices. Particularly hard-hit were workers on the upper floors of many buildings, who found themselves in the pitch without elevators running. <\/p>\n
But in one of these buildings the problem was easily solved. When darkness hit the guild for the Jewish Blind, the two hundred blind workers, who knew every inch of the building by touch, led the seventy helpless sighted workers down the steps and onto Broadway. <\/p>\n
2176<\/b> Just Wait! It\u2019ll Be Hotter! <\/b><\/p>\n
At Southampton\u2019s fashionable St. Andrew\u2019s Dune Church, after a week of steaming hot weather, guest minister Rev. William Henry Wagner told the congregation he would preach the shortest sermon ever. He did, too. The sermon consisted of the following words:<\/p>\n
\u201cIf you think it\u2019s hot here\u2014just wait!\u201d<\/p>\n

2177<\/b> No More Thermometer<\/b><\/p>\n
An acquaintance was describing to Whistler a scene he had encountered in his travels. <\/p>\n
\u201cThere was a boatload of Egyptians,\u201d he recounted, \u201cfloating down the Nile with the thermometer one hundred and twenty degrees in the shade, and no shade.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cAnd no thermometer,\u201d interrupted Whistler. <\/p>\n
