"A judge sentences a defendant to a flexible period of imprisonment and the parole board decides, basing its - deci- sion on the behavior and :re : habilitationir of the prisoner, when the sentence will be term inated. . This accomplishes . a ' number of things. First, it allows us to achieve a closer approximation of equal justice under the law. Second, it gives prisoners : a great incentive for rehabilita tion' and good behavior. . : Contrary to what some might conclude, studies i have' shown that hardened criminals often get longer terms in prison un ' der this system than under more conventional methods. One of1 the tragedies in this country which' gets too little at tention is that involving persons guilty of one crime, who up to ; that time have lived orderly and peaceful lives, and who receive very long sentences. Many who fall from grace but once, in itry- ing circumstances, who .. write ; bad checks or steal, and are ' caught, get 20 to 40 year prison ' , povM338nxa spunos siuj, 'SUU3 but court records prove the . itatement out. ..' f Flexible prison terms would mable as Mowers ana .natncrs uay.

' C The purpose of our study to day is to help adults discover ways - that God's creation wit-' nesses to his existence,' good' ness, wisdom, and- power. The three psalms we are studying today are all beautiful, and express one topic God in his world. Psalms 19:4c-6 could ! almost be called a song to the "sun god. It is clear, however, that the true praise does not be- 5 long to the sun, but to the Cre ator of the sun. The apostle Paul also saw God revealed in y nature. Paul felt that the cre mation itself can reveal the pow er and deny oi tne creator, ana that any man's claim that he cannot know what God is like is invalid.' , v ' r In earliest times men saw God so fully in nature that they tended to identify God with na ture.! Thus : almost any unex plained event jn nature, such as a falling rock or a flash of light ning, or the "withdrawal'! of the sun could be a signal for fear, awe and worship. The nature psalms, nowhere make this mis take. Their worship is never to the "gods" revealed, in nature, but always to the one God who created and , is responsible for the sun, the moon, the stars, the rain, the lightning, the rivers, and. all that is. The worship- of one God by the Jews is readily seen. , Many people feel that sci ence, is attempting to destroy our faith in God. This is typi cal of the history of the rela tionship of the chyrch and sci ence. Many scholars in earlier centuries have been condemned as heretics, because tnerr quest ing minds cast doubt on things that have - been, accepted widely in. times jpast , But , if we sin cerely believe, that all truth is .from God and in God, these can be no conflict between science and faith. But if we believe that all truth is contained in the Bible vrather than in God, we will iee conflict. Let us examine this- point- ' The. Bible affirms time v and again" that God is at work in nature. - This is a claim of faith, and ' we ; believe it to. -be true. But this does not mean that we must accept every point of view expressed in the . Bible as "scientific": v For the Bible was I not, and is not, a book of sci ence, i. The, biblical picture of the universe places the earth in the i; center, with layers of y'heavens above the earth lead ing to God's throne. . This is an' attempt to explain tho over whelming majesty of 1 God and 'the importance of man, his child. But it is not a picture of the true relationship of the earth to ihia aim trA A A1 . ! L ! We affirm the Bible's central truth, but we cannot accept its pre-scientific description of the it atmosphere. 1 vThe teaching of evolution does I not need to disturb" our faith. It is aru. attempt, to explain the )' almost incredible variety of life j that exists. : Evolution does not I and cannot say where God is I in these changes. We believe, T however, that he is at work in 1 them, that it is' through His rich y creative genius that, the varie- ,'ues come to be. And so we are not disturbed that scientists may be discovering some of the . mpthnd hv which ft hm . ams1 i m " '- , iiuf w wi n,- )ed. - To him alone is the glory and the honor. Men are , but thinking, his thoughts after him. ) If all the j substance of 'our bodies, with its "space" squeezed out, are but specks of dirt-r t where are we?
