Paul Bagby preached on "The Closed Gate of Eden" at the eleven o'clock worship service. The Bible is not to fulfill a scientific or historical purpose. The purpose of the Book is to ?how the human race its condi-: tion and relationship with the divine. Not bow we happen to be' buti how we stand in God's eyes. The Bible was written not to. satisfy the mental appetites of man but to satisfy soul desires.; The literalist would make God mind ratbet than Spirit', informer1 rather than Savior. Eden is not a locality but a condition with sin as the boun dary. Earth had no hurt. There i was perfect harmony. There in the garden was the tree of Know ledge of good and evil. Life was (tinless. Sin was entered into by Adam and Eve, sin's boundary crossed and Eden's gate closed. Four things summarize the condition of man since the clos ing of Eden's gate: (1) Man must ?tay in a place of toil (2) a place of sorrow (3) a place where sin is raging (4) a place of death. At the evening worship hour Dr. Bagby preached on "The Open Gate of Heaven." Morning worship at eleven o'clock with thte pastor preaching on "Secret and Presumptuous Sin?."
