It is astonishing that inspite of the
admission of such creation theories,
leaving no doubt about their genuine
ness, the honesty Of old savants and
philosophers who reported to US what
they knew about the creation, is doubt,
ed and the modern scientist still try to
belittle the very foundation of their
doctrines.
Mr.. Henning said absolutely nothing
about the forces, the power which was
behind any creative act, which alone is
inseparable from the subject. What
gave the impulse for the creation for
any creation?
DR.. Henning overlooked the meaning
of Tlamat the woman, g Earth and Mar
bue, the father, "Llght'') he had not
courage to draw the conclusion that the
intercourse of'both caused spirit.
| By what right does Mr.. Henning, or
the scientists who speak through him,
question the authority Of the Jewish
story of the creation when he admits
that of the Babylonian. Could there
he any stronger argument for the form
er than that the Babylonian is older and
the two are Identical with one that is
still older? Should we not rejoice that
through the Jews we became acquainted
with the true theory, which has come
down to us through 5000 years. Had
| it not been for this we would now be
getting our first lessons Of the creation
through Babylonian discoveries. The
fact that we have an account of the Gre
alton from the Jews proves that they
were smartest, which reached its climax
in the appearance of the great yphiloso-
Christ among them.
DR.. Henning mentioned the prophet,
Amos, the courageous man who called
attention to the corruption in public
life, through cultivating the mate,ia !,
instead of the spiritual side of life. How
much superior in intellect must Amos
have been, when be could muster cour-
age to oppose existing rules, 5000 years
ago and hav it known today. Who is
the man of this age whose name and
voice will be heard 5000 years hence in
the same respect? ~ 49,.
Dr.. Henning mentions the struggle
between the upper and the under waters
(Timat VS.. Marbuc) and states that to
end the struggle, ga bolt was put be,
tween Them" Who put the bolt be-
tween them? The 'sbetween" is the fir
mament between our planets and other
planets. He mentions that the germs of
life come from this water, f.om the
ocean so created. He says nothing
about intelligent life; from whence
comes that? He does not say that IN
telligence started with 1gnorance'77 but he
admits that nothing can be lost. vi
After constructing such solid foun-
datlon, namely. the identity of the ear
Hest creation theories as result of the
researches and Investigations of modern
science, Mr.. Hennlng jumps again into
the unknown and says, 1.-THE days of
faith are past, the light of modern
science leads you to surer light than the
light of aocient tradition which these
same scientists so persisteutly use in the
construction of their own theories.

was in bad taste when he so contradict.
ed himself. The times are such that We
have to use tolerance. Thought, today
is rapidly developing, and we are ON the
verge of overthrowing many old, pre-
conceived theories. The intense strug-
for an existence in this great, living
nature, leaves many with little time to
think on subjects of tins nature, and we
help here only through spirit Of kind.

undoubtedly puts it, from the viewpoint
that the Oldest known creation theory is
identical with the biblical theory and
the theories of modern science, then I
cannot possibly find the connecting link
to the authority which inspired him to
say that faith IS vanishing" Mr.. Hem

ligion. He also talks of progress and
admits that three thousand years ago
they knew as much or more than we do.
He does not say a word about the infu-s
ences which hinder most people from
seeing light; he says only we shall in
due time see it. Who?
His pleasing address was fine shell
