GOD, THE CREATOR
International Sunday School Lesson,
for July 5, 1942
GOLDEN TEXT: “In the be-
I ginning God created the heavens
and the earth.” —Genesis 1:1.
Lesson Text: Genesis 1:1-5; 24-31; 2:1
Our lessons for the third quarter
are taken from the Book of Genesis.
The book is given its name by the
first word in it which, translated
from the original Hebrew means, in
the beginning. Literally, this is the
starting point of the book.
Genesis is the first of five books
making up the Hebrew Pentateuch, i
The authorship of these books was!
for a long time ascribed to Moses,!
but Genesis is now regarded as the
compilation of extracts from earlier
records by a writer who lived long
after Moses was dead. This should
not lessen respect for the book nor
the lessons which we draw from it.
The Book of Genesis may be di
vided into two main parts. The first
eleven chapters give the Hebrew tra
l dition regarding the creation and
early history of the earth and man
kind, as revealed to their earliest
leaders and parsed down by tradition
to subsequent generations. This first
part includes the story of creation, of
Adam and of his descendants, and
Noah and his sons.
The second part brings us the
story of the Patriarchs, Abraham,
lisaac, Jacob and Joseph. The entire
books give us the origin and develop
ment of the Hebrew people, written
from a religious standpoint to show
them as God’s chosen people.
The story of creation, as contained
in Genesis, has caused much argu
ment. The critics ignore entirely
the spirit and purpose of the recital
and arbitrarily pick upon this pas
sage or that, interpreting literally, in
an effort to disprove its assertions.
There is no occasion for any of the
faithful to be worried about this at
tack. i
Genesis was never intended as a
scientific document—it is written in
spiritual terms and for religious pur
poses. In attempting to write the
i record of creation in a few words, it
is like reducing the map of the con
tinent to a single square inch.
Very early in the book the supreme
fact of an active Creator is set forth,
whose intelligence and planning was
’ responsible for the world in which
man lived, and made himself.
No thoughtful person contemplat
ing the universe today, can honestly
believe that it was the product of
* mere chance. The order and regular
ity of creation denies an origin gov
erned entirely by accident. As well

I might the manufacturer of a type
writer, or any other modern machine,
, place the scattered parts in a box
and ishake them together in the ex
pectation that they would assemble
themselves.
The wonders of astronomy or of
chemistry, dr of any other phase of
creation, revealed to the intelligent
application of the human mind, all
point to an intelligent, beneficent
and planning intelligence in their
creator.
The first chapter of Genesis pic
tures the creation of the universe
and its occupants. Two parallel sets
of three periods (called days) are
given uis. The first day, according to
Professor W. G. Elmslie, gives us the
sphere of light, and the fourth day
! tenants it with sun, moon and stars.
! The second day presents the realm
of air and water and the fifth in
habits it with .birds and fishes. The
third, day produces habitable, dry
land, and the sixth provides it with
animals and man.
It is interesting to notice that the
order of creation of the plants and
animals agrees with that develop
ment by geology and the formation
of the stellar universe and the origin
of the earth is readily reconcilable
to the deductions of the astronomers.
The supreme act of creation was
the origin of man, mad.e in the image
of God. Therefore, man has: (1) an
immortal so’ul; (2) an intelligent
mind; (3) a conscience; (4) an in
. dividualistic personality; (5) a will
of his own; (6) an idea of moral
, righteousness; and (7) is endowed
. with affections, the capacity to love. |
These items are pointed out by Pro
■ fessor Ira M. Price, who adds, “with
all these qualifications he was made
ruler of all the earth.” So we find
man supreme in the word today, able
■ to reclaim deserts and affect the
physical geography of the globe.
Likewise, he dominates all other ani
mals and uses the vegetable world
to contribute to his own needs and
happiness. In the mechanical, chemi
cal and electrical forces of nature he
has projected his mastery and made
them serve his needs.

Local Complaints I
Claming Attention
Brewing Industry ]
Colonel Edgar H. Bain
Makes Preliminary
Investigation
(
Following recent complaint and j
criticism in Edenton as to a growing ,
nuisance and menace developing be- j
cause of the sale of unfortified wine,
Colonel Edgar H. Bain, State diiector i
of the Brewing Industry Foundation, ,
was in Edenton the latter part of last j
week in the interest of the campaign 1
sponsored by the brewing industry to
close up undesirable beer outlets. !
Mr. Bain made a survey of the com
plaints, which will be followed up by
an investigation and if reason is
found, proprietors failing to conduct
places of business in an orderly man- ;
ner will be called before Town Coun
cil to show cause why their licenses
should not be revoked.
Throughout the State many unde
sirable beer outlets have been elimi- ;
i nated as the result of efforts of the ,
Brewing Industry Foundation. Col.
Bain’s interest in maintaining order
in operating establishments, where
retail licenses have been issued under
the beverage control act of 1933,
which allows the sale of both unforti
fied wine and beer. The Foundation
has no control over unfortified wine
sales but can have licenses revoked
where beer is sold and proper order
| is not maintained by those operating (
the business. i
If the investigation shows that
proper is not shown for the
privilege of selling beer where unfor
tified wine is also sold, there is little
doubt but that some licenses will be
revoked in Edenton.
Edenton Assured
Glider Station
(Continued from Page One)
Many of the gliders will fly 200
or 300 miles, and some have flown
as much as 600 miles. They can
travel at a speed of about 75 miles
an hour.
Inspections had been made in a
number of places in an attempt to lo
cate suitable glider bases, and accord
ing to Congressman Bonner, these
inspection trips disclosed a distinct
advantage here, in that there is am
ple cleared land and that there is
little interference as far as hills and ,
buildings are concerned. Besides
' 1 there is plenty of open space for
practice over the Albemarle Sound.

NYA Shop Ordered
Abandoned June 30
Incompleted Boat Will
Be Taken to Washing
ton Shop
M. E. Woodall, supervisor of the 1
local NYA woodworking shop, has
been notified to close the shop after
eight months training for 101 youths
in Chowan and adjoining counties in
ship carpentry, cabinet making and
general carpentry.
Due to the scarcity of youths in
Chowan County, only 25 of the total
number of 101 boys and girls taking
part were residents of this county.
The remaining number was trans
ported at Government expense from
surrounding counties of Bertie, Tyr
rell, Perquimans and Hertford.
Sixteen articles were built for local
town, or county use and included
tables, desks, tool room fixtures,
book cases, and various other equip
ment which was labor-free to local i
tax-supported institutions.
One hundred and ninety-six articles!
including office desks, field tables ‘
and various other necessities werej
constructed for defense projects,
most of which went to Fort Bragg
for use in Army offices.
A boat now in progress of con
struction is expected to be taken to
the Washington, N. C., shops for
completion.

Nephew Os Mrs. Rea
Is Reported Missing:
Mrs. Pattie Rea t was grieved tp
learn early this week that her neph
ew, Atwood Addison Clayton, of Nor
folk, Va., was reported missing. Mr.
Clayton was 34 years old and was a
merchant marine engineer, whose ves
sel was torpedoed.
His sister, Mna. I, J. Moran, of |
Norfolk, Va., was notified, but no
information as to where the sinking
occurred was given in the message.
He made his home with Mrs. Moran
and his father in Norfolk.
Mr. Clayton had been going to sea
for about 17 years and several years
ago attended a special school for
seamen at Hoffman’s Island, where
he took honors and won his engineer’s
license. He was last at home shortly
before his ship sailed on December
17, 1941, for Egypt.

Over 50 Hear Gasoline
Rationing: Explained
(Continued from Page One)
| be changed.
Mr. Leach said that rationing is
; not only to conserve gasoline, but
J tires and automobiles as well, empha
-1 sizing the fact that it must be
borne in mind, that if owners of au
tomobiles want to have a car by
1944 or 1945, it will be necessary for
them to drive as little as possible.
He also estimated that it is alto
gether possible that the government
may be obliged to take over private
cars in the war effort. He stated
that heavy transportation facilities
can handle only 18 percent of the
traffic needs, which presents quite ?
problem.
Os course, the major portion of
Mr. Leach’s remarks had to do with
informing war ration board members
as to their duties in the permanent
rationing program, which is no little
complicated, to say the least. He
particularly emphasized the five ma
jor ration books which will be issued,
designated A, B, C, S-l and S-2.
There is no question but that the
effect of rationing will be keenlv
felt when the plan is inaugurated, for
there will be a reduction in everv
phase of travel. The basic card will
, be A, which provide? enough gasoline
for a maximum of approximately 250
miles per month and is for civilian
purposes. Only one of the A cards
■ will be issued.
However, provision is made to se
'cure additional gasoline for occupa
tional purposes as well as for pur
poses essential to the war effort.
For occupational purposes a B card
may supplement the A card and pro
PAGE FIVE
vides for enough gasoline' to travel
approximately 570 miles per month.
The plan allows one or more C cards
as a supplement to the basic A card
and allows enough gasoline to travel
approximately 1,530 miles per month.
The S cards are for use of com
mercial trucks, the S-l for those of
small mileage and the S-2 for large
trucks. Gasoline for this purpose
' will be based on actual needs of
' mileage.
Mr. Leach said that each vehicle
will be tagged as to the type of card
possessed by the owner and that pre
parations are being made for policing
and, enforcing the rationing order.
The fact that the eastern section is
experiencing discrimination was
brought out at the meeting, and
while Mr. Leach admitted this fact,
he expressed the opinion that it is
only the beginning of a nation-wide
plan.
During the meeting many compli
cated questions were asked, which,
after being boiled down, tended, to
show that plain common sense, coup
! led with a fair knowledge of the con
ditions, is one of the beist working
tools of war ration boards in coping
with the present emergency and the
work now facing them.
