Jm ~ . - SUNDAY SCHOOL LESSON Continued from Page 2—Section 2 God had a purpose in creating the world; aqd, third, that the crown ing act in all of creation was man, made in the "image of God.” It is true that the story of crea tion, as contained in Genesis, has caused much argument. The critics ignore entirely the spirit and pur pose of the story and arbitrarily pick upon this passage, or that, in terpreting it literaly, in an effort to disprove its assertions. However, there is no occasion for believers to be worried about this attack. The Book of Genesis was not intended as a scientific docu ment; it was written in spiritual terms, for religious purposes. In attempting to write the record of creation in a few words is like re ducing the map of a continent into a single square inch. Neither should the time of creation prove a problem.

However, the Bible gives no time but states “in the beginning” God created our earth, and science places that beginning at an almost inconceivably distant period. Very early in the book, the su preme fact of an active Creator is set forth, a Creator whose intelli gence and planning was responsible for the world in which man was to live. No thoughtful student, con templating the universe today, can honestly believe that it was the product of mere chance. The order and regularity of creation denies an origin governed entirely by acci dent. As well might the maker of a watch, a typewriter, or any oth er intricate, modern machine, placed the numerous parts in a box and shake them, with the expecta tion that they would assemble themselves' properly, as to believe that the world was a mass, flung into rpace, to create itself. The wonders of astronomy, or of chemistry, or of any other phase of creation, reveal to the intelligent application of the hu'man mind the intelligence, beneficient planning of an all-wise creator. Dr. J. Patter son-Smyth says, “The Bible says that God created the heavens and the earth and then created man. Exactly what the scientist says, but he loves to find out how God did it. r And God is helping him to find out. That is all. The Bible does not conflict With him. He sees that creation would be just as divine and miraculous if it were slow add gradual . . . The Bible story, with , marvelous—surely with inspired— reserve, lays down no theory to hamper scientific study. Science can never have any quarrel with its simple pronouncement, “In the be . ginning God created the heavens , and the earth.” j The first chapter of Genesis pie • tures the creation of the universe . and its occupants. Two parallel : sets of three periods (called days) are given us. The first day gives • us the sphere of light and the i fourth day tenants it villi sun, : moon and stars. The second day . presents the realm of air and wa- I ter and the fifth inhabits it with i birds and fishes.

The supreme act of creation, of ! course, was the making of man, in . God’s own image. Therefore, man 1 has: (1) an immortal soul; (2) an Intelligent mind; (3) a conscience; (4) an individualistic personality; ] (5) a will of his own; (B) an idea of moral righteousness; and (7) is endowed with affections, the capa city to lovo. These items are point- ’ ed out by Dr. Ira M. Price, who ] adds, “With all these qualifications, he was made ruler of all the earth. He is master’of all and yet, alas, so often man is not master of him self. It might be well for us to remember that, “What we are i« God’s gift to us; what we make of 1 ourselves, our gift to Him.” C !y {Hospital Patients; Visiting Hours: 2:00-4:30 P. M„ and 6:00-8:00 P. M.
