minds have been trying they say they
cannot understand. II would be the
heighth OF folly for men to try to
describe IL. The incarnation OF Christ
= q mystery.
1T was the Uniterians In that day
that stoned Jesus. because they did
not believe he was the son of God.
They nailed him, to the cross. They
would not acknowledge Christ. Who
knows all about God? Nobody knows
al about God. The ministers. the
priests and the preachers don't know
all about God. I don't know, you
don't know. Anything is a mystery
when you don't understand II.
Mature Is mystery. Food IS a
mystery and life is a mystery. II Is
not a mystery TO shove food down
your throat. The Son OF God Is a
mystery. The man that won't believe
I'm the Bible. or Christ, because they
think II and He are mysteries is a
fool Why IL you only believe what
you understand you would be dumb
founded at what little you know.
Reason Mystery.
Reason is a facility In my mind
which trace the effects. Light H.
Illuminate. can trace them to the dyn-
amo. You are converted. what's the
causef You cuss, what's the cause ?
You pray. what's the cause? You are
converted. that is because you accept
Jesus Christ You cuss because you
don't accept Jesus.
Where reason comes from / don't
Know. IL Is mystery. Fifty years
from today we know there will be an
eclipse OF the sun. II will come on
schedule time. but we don't know
everything.

q OF the mind by which we know the
laws OF existence. II we are warm
we ian ourselves to become cool. II
NO are hungry we eat food. II we are
thirsty we drink water. There is a
reason There are things about my.
self I don't understand. There are
things about you that understand
and you don't understand and there
are things about you that you under
stand and i don't understand. There
are things none OF us understand. The

1.-THE biggest fool Is a man that
Gays he can't be a Christian, be-
cause he can't understand.
Those that lived in the DAYS OF
Homer. said that the earth was held
up by a giant elephant that stood on
turtles back. When the turtle
| moved 1t moved the earth and changed
the moon and sun. Then the Greeks
came along and said that the universe
was held up by a great giant called
Atlas. remember when went "a
school there used 10 be a picture or
the back OF the books of old Atlas
holding the earth on his book. That
was Greek philosophy.
The philosophy of your day is just
as foolish as in those days. There
are some people that are just spend
ing their light trying TO fathom out
Gods way. You ask philosophers
what force is. Force is the power o!
motion. What Is motion? Motion is
force. That is as close as they come
TO II.
The pressure OF gravity keeps us
from flying on. Nobody ever saw
force. When a man shoots a gun he
hears the shot but he don't see the
power. II a fellow takes a punch al
you you will feel the force but YOU
don't see IL. There are mysteries
above and below, there are mysteries
all around you. There are things
can't understand. You can't under
stand.
About RelIglno.
Then there are things I can't under
stand about religion. Don't try tc
cay that the Bible is not the word Of
God.
