Well may be ask, WHAT ARE WE HERE
FOR?
The reverend gentleman whose answer to
the question is printed above takes a good.
religious view.
Others may be religious, and at the same
time ask themselves all kinds of questions
What are we really here FOR? Is there any
purpose in our being here? Is there any work
for lis to do in addition to making up for the
sins of our ancestors?
We have the information Of faith, which
tells us that the world is about six thousand
years old
We have the information of science, which
deciphers writing more than six thousand years
old and proves that the earth has existed mil
lions of years, and the human race at least
quarter of million years
WHAT ARE WE HERE FOR?
Force and intelligence cannot act without
matter, There could be nothing, as we under
stand reality, without matter. There could be
no sound, for sound is the effect of material air
waves striking upon material nerves in ma.
terial ear.
There could he no seeing, as well as no hear.

is the effect of material light wave striking

There could be no feeling in a universe with

effect produced upon the brain by the nerves

seriousness.
We are told, and the faithful believe, that the
universe was created by one supreme being
who had existed in a vacuum from all eternity.
and then decided to create this earth HE put
us here.
WHAT ARE WE HERE FOR?

that one man and one woman were created
