World Events And The Bible Did ' man get here by evolution : or creation? Which do you believe?. More than a century ago when Charles Darwin pro-, moted his theory that man i animals.. he sueeested that - a key mechanism was "natural , selection." This was the idea that . the stronger survive and keep improving to the point where newer, forms of ljfe are produced.' However in. recent year? that idea has come under assault. It has: become evident that, just surviving does hot result in ' anything new,..-:f c'U"; "; In "Harper's" magazine of February,' Tom Bethell, . an editor for the "Washington Month,'! states: "The conclusion is pretty staggering: Dar win's theory, I believe is on the verge of collaspe." He added: "Darwin, I suggest,' is in the process of being discarded, but ... it is being ' . done as discreetly and . gently as posssible, with a ' minimum of publicity." ' The facts continue to sup port the truth on this mat ter as stated at Isaiah 45:12 where God . declares: "I myself have made the earth and have created even man upon it." No, man did not get here by . evolution. He got here by creation. The Bible gives a com plete account of just how man was created. The very ' first book in the Bible, : Genesis gives an accurate : detailing of one's beginn- ing. If you want to know just from where yoy came start ! today by; studying your Bible. Jehovah's Witnesses have n long discarded the idea and the theory of evolution, the next time one of them calls at your home ask them to help you see clearly from your Bible just how man came to be.

No Bible teaching has been more altered or abused. None has been more overdone or more neglected. There will be an honest effort on my part to believe what the Bible says and to do what the Bible bids on this subject. RESEMBLANCE ' (Matthew 24:36-41) According to Jesus no one, not even the messengers of heaven, not even the Son of God himself, knows the day and hour of Christ's return. This should settle forever the matter of date setting and speculation concerning when our Lord shall come. Jesus did say that the time of His coming would resemble the days of Noah. Just as the flood took men by surprise in that day of preoccupation with mundane matters, so will the coming of Jesus. In Noah's day they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage. There was nothing wrong with these things except that seemed to be all the people's con cern. Many things in life are worthwhile and even necessary, but when they turn us away from God they become the means of our destruction. Jesus was stressing the fact that His coming would find men unprepared. He taught that man should always be ready. Readiness for His return is the determinig factor in man's eternal destiny. One man would be taken and another left. One woman would be taken and the other left. RESPONSIBLITY (Matthew 24:42-44) Because readiness determines man's reception or rejec tion he is exhorted by Jesus to "watch." This is man's du ty. It is his responsibility. Because man does not and can- Sanitation Could Halt Mosaic Tobacco Losses The increase in the esti mated dollar loss to to bacco diseases in North Carolina last year was over $9 million, pushing the total to nearly $38 million. About one-third of the large 1975 increase has been attributed to mosaic. Furney Todd, North Carolina State University extension plant patholo gist, said there is no rea son for farmers to experi ence heavy losses to the disease. Its prevention is tied closely to good sani tation practices. A program was launched last year, called "Knock Out Mosaic," to draw grower attention to the expense of tolerating mo saic and ignoring preven tive measures. "Control of mosaic is simple," said Todd, "and there is no excuse for the high losses we've had in recent years." He said mosaic could be virtually removed as a major source of economic loss, if grow ers would follow these steps: Avoid use of manu factured tobacco products (cigarettes, snuff, chew ing tobacco, cigars, etc.) on the plant bed or while transplanting. Have all workers dip their hands in milk on ar rival at plant bed and re peat this often while handling plants. Remove plants show ing mosaic symptoms be fore first field cultivation. Follow a good stalk cutting and residue de stroying sanitation pro gram following the com pletion of harvest. Some flue-cured varie ties have high resistance to mosaic. not know on what day his Lord will come he must make it his business to be always ready, Jesus put this idea into terms they could understand. If the man of the house could have known the time of night the thief was coming, he could have .protected his house and not have suffered the loss. Since the good man of the house could never know that, his responsibility was to always be prepared. It is the same with the coming of the. ; Son of man. He is coming when He is not expected unless .' He is continuously expected. '; RECKLESSNESS " (Matthew 24:45-51) The faithful and wise servant is contrasted with the ;; wicked servant. The faithful and wise servant will always be doing what he was told to do. He is obedient because he recognizes himself as a servant or slave of Jesus. His' faithfulness has been tested because he has been set over'' the household of his master. When Jesus returns and finds'' him still faithful He will promote him to even greater and' larger opportunities. He will set him over all his posse sions. ' The wicked servant is careless and reckless concerning' ; his responsibility. The delay of his master has suggested ' to him that his master may not come back at all. He begins to mistreat those left in his care. He sets the wrong' examples before others. At an unexpected hour the master comes. The reckless servant is not rewarded but he is punished. He is placed with the dishonest playactors called hypocrites where ' they will weep and gnash their teeth. ." We have heard's God's warning. Where do we stand? BIBLE QUESTION OF THE WEEK "What is the final date of acceptance of all books of the. Bible as being inspired scripture."
