Bible
Quest iona
And
Answers
By Bob
Rlgdon
Q. According to the
BiUe when was the world
created?
A. The Bible does not
tell when the world was creat
ed. The Bible does tell us
that God created it. Gen. 1:1.
Some people are g ready dis
turbed by what they call con
tradictions between the Bible
and Science. True science
and the Bible do not contra
dict. Sometimes there seems
to be contradictions because of
misunderstanding the Bible or
because of teaching a theory of
science as If It were a proven
fact.
For instance at one time
scientists said it was' im
possible for the world to be
devroyed by fire as the Bible
teaches in 11 Peter 3:7-13.
Today knowing what they dc
about Atomic energy they know
it is possible. Some have even
suggested that a chain reaction
could be set where the whole
world would be destroyed.
Now before scientists knew
about these things many
preachers were ridiculed for
preaching It. What was there
to say then though by preach
ers? Only that they believed
the Bible.
When all the facts are in
and the Bible is rlghdy
understood there is not a doubt
In my mind that both will
agree fully.
The same God that created
the world and all that, there is
therein also divinly guided the
writing of the Bible.
1 Timothy 6:20 "O
Timothy, keep that which is
com nitted to thy trust, avoid
ing profane and vain babblings
ind oppositions of science
falsely so called; which some
professing have erred concer
ting the faith."
Highlights
of
1960
The 8,100-mile Southern System is one
of the South's largest industries. It both
depends on, and contributes to, the eco
nomic well-being of the territory it
serves. Because this is so, our progress
and performance from year to year are
important not only to us, but to thou
sands of our friends and neighbors who
live and work in the modern South.
Several major developments which, we
believe, will favorably affect the future
welfare of Southern and the South it
serves, reached their final form in 1960 :
Approval of our purchase of the 8 Simile
Interstate Railroad, which serves bitu
minous-rich coal fields in southwest
Virginia, was recommended by an Inter
state Commerce Commission Examiner.
This has now been approved by the Com
mission.
A 71% stock interest in the lfi 56-mile
Central of Georgia Railway was con
tracted for, subject to Interstate Com
merce Commission approval.
A substantial interest was acquired in
Republic Carloading and Distributing
Comvanv.
Stock was acquired in Trailer Train
Company and Southern went into con
tainerized freight-piggyback-service in
a major way.
Our Management was streamlined to
place our Operating and Traffic Depart
ments under the jurisdiction of an
Executive Vice President, to insure the
closest possible coordination of our
service and sales funotions.
More than UOO new freight cars cost
ing about $2 9 H million were placed in
service ? making a total investment of
$15i million in new freight cars during
the past ten years, many of them special
purpose cars of unique design, developed
by Southern.
Some of the above have been under
consideration for a number of years. All
of them will enable us to provide ever
better rail transportation, so vital to the
continued economic development of the
modern, fast-growing South. All in the
South will benefit!

H child s gift
? ?
A child's gift is especially sweet. I wish
that I could give this little girl something that
would mean as much to her as her flowers mean
to me. But I know that just now, I can't. For
she won't recognize my gift until much, much
later.
Then, I hope she'll look back on her mem
ories of me and say, "The first time I ever went
to church, I went with my Grandma. You know,
I don't think she ever missed a Sunday at
church in her life ..."
Though I have missed a Sunday now and
then when I was sick, or had to stay home with
my young ones, I never have missed going to
church if there were a way to get there. And
this habit ? a wonderful habit ? is something
that I've passed along to my son, and that I've
seen him pass along to his daughter.
This is a priceless heritage. For having a
regular place for the Church in one's life, from
childhood on, gives one a faith that endures
forever.

THE CHURCH FOR ALL . . .
ALL FOR THE CHURCH
The Church it the greatest factor on
earth for the building of character and
good citizenship. It is a storehouse of
spiritual valises. Without a strong Church,
?either democracy nor civilization can
survive. There are four sound reasons
why every person should attend services
regularly and support the Church. They
are: (I) For his ow., sake. (2) For bis
children's sake. (3) For the sake of his
community and nation. (4) For the sake
of the Church itself, which needs his
moral and material support. Plan to go
to church regularly and read your Bible
daily.
