The earth once had similar rings"
precipitated one after another, at long
intervals during the Six Great Gre
alive Days. God so timed His Plan
that the last of earth's rings was still
unbroken when man was created. But

Why the Polar Ice?
Geology testifes to Glacial Period,
when great icebergs, carried by floods
of water. rushed from the poles to-
ward the equator Scientists have
traced great valleys cut by these ice
bergs during this period.
The collapse of the canopy caused a
deluge at both poles, a flow of great
tidal waves toward the equator end
sudden, intense cold at the poles. The
water frOze so rapidly that in recent
years animals with grass between
their teeth have been dug out of solid
polar ice.
The vertical rays of the sun kept the
equatorial atmosphere very hot until
the trade winds sprang up. distribut-
ing the heat over the earth. The eQua-
torial waters were also very hot, until
the ocean currents set in. These, like
the Gulf Stream, carry the warm equa-
torial waters toward the poles. These
processes, going on for 44O0 years, are
gradually thawing out the polar re-
gions. and causing large numbers of
icebergs to break loose from the polar
glaciers. and distress mariners.
Professor George Frederick Wright

The Cause of the DeIuse.
Let us inquire. Why did not Divine
providence precipitate the last ring be-
fore man was created? The answer is
that God foreknew the rebellion Of
Satan and permitted the temptation
and fall of man solely because He
foresaw how ultimate good could be
accomplished and valuable lessons be
given both men and angels. All of
His dealings are along lines of Justice,
guided by Loye Divine.
Before the Flood wickedness mad
greatly increased, but not merely from
human depravity Some of the angels
became disobedient to God, and by
their greater intelligence led mankind

The Bible cites many instances where
angels have materialized as human be-
ings. This power appears to have been
