Such theory is insuffi cient, and to the Word of God only can we turn for a theory of man's creation that will satisfy the Inquiry of the human mind. - .

"Man was created also to have do minion over all the other objects of creation. . "And, finally, man was created in the lmasre and likeness of God. and is not tnie of any other object . creation. - a n "There are two lesson for us to learn here. First, man waa created to be a nrlnce and not a slave. He was not created to be a slave to money, bank stock, wealth of any kind, or a slave of anything; second, man must have an unconquerable will and determination in order to bring these thing under hla dominion, and to make man a prince and not a alave. . , "Man was created with a mind, a will and a heart with the power to think, to choose, and to feel, and thla fact marks man as the highest object of creation. And here we And also one of the strongest evidences of man's immortality. Nowhere can we find anything that will give us any reason to believe that any being with the power to think, to choose, and to feel l not Immortal. Man, like God, Is a free spirit, and a free spirit nevef dies The body dies, but the spirit lives always. '. '- . - ' ."Man was created In purity, good-; tnesa. ana uprightness: God. never ere ated a low, degraded man, but man degrade himself when he Uvea on a plane beneath that for which he was created. Sin degrades man. but does not destroy his likeness to God; it destroy his purity and innocence, but cannot destroy his likeness to his Creator. And this fact teaches us the lesson that we never should despise the fallen man or the fallen woman. They were created In the Image of God, and however low in sin they may have -fallen, It la possible for them to rise again. So long as a man or woman ham a heart he or she h&' feeling, and every man and woman has been created In God's image, and la therefore able In God's strength to rise from sin. "There Is a lesson here for the man who Is on the Incline. of life, drifting away from that which is good, and luwaru wiai wuiun n biiuui. iuu can check yourself on this downward course and rise again to the plane upon which God created you, and upjj on wnicn ho intenas you to live.
