Second: The school of natural de-
velopment," as set up and taught by
the infdel, or enemy Of God, and
which teaches that man came from
Spontaneous generation" and
evolved through the various species
of fish, fowl and beast to his present
state of nature. And all this in the
face of the clear declaration of the
learned Apostle that call flesh is not
the same flesh, but there is one kind
of flesh Of man, another flesh of
beasts, another of fishes and another
Of birds" & Cor. 1890 Now if
the flesh Of fish, fowl and beast are
a different kind of flesh, then one
never evolved from another; and if
the flesh of man is a deterrent flesh
from these, then man never evolved
frem either fish, fowl or beast, but
must have been created every whit
a man just as Moses said he was.
All men are today training in either
one or the other of these two rival
schools. For no man can hope to
train in both. For one is directly
antagonistic and contradictory Of the
other. To hold to the one is to deny
and repudiate the other. To love
the one is to hate the other. And
doubtless Christ referred to this very
day when his professed followers
would try to hold to and teach both
these schools, and lose their souls

Every organization in existence to-
day, religious, political and civil, are

&C., are infidel terms, and no such
words are found in the Scriptures.

Ethiopian" and applied it to the
negro, but the Ethiopian is no more

armies against the armies of the
Egyptians, which was at the time
JOSephus writes, one of the most
powerful and enlightened nations in
the world. Like other great nations,
she planted colonies in Africa. From
whose descendants sprang the great
Hannibal, the Carthagenian general,
who fought the Caesars at Rome
when in the Zenith of her pow

possessing such valor, or in possess

Christianity is based squarely on
the Mosaic record of Gods creation,
as set forth in the first chapter of
Genesis, which is the foundation of
all Scripture. TO repudiate the teach
ings of this chapter, which all trace
theorists" have done, is to repudiate
the Bible, and to repudiato the bible
is to deny the Divinity Of Christ and
therefore reject Christianity.
Now where is the church? Only
in the hands of this wicked and idol
atrous Babylon" whose fall the
prophets SO clearly predict? Gods
call is for his people TO "come out of
her." The question is, what are they
going to do about it? God has set
