ton exactly, when he says having no
hope, and without God in the world
All they have in prospect is that awful
! future" where desperate human crea-
lures shall tear each other to pieces for
something to continue their miserable
existence. No one to look to for de-
iverance from this fearful danger! No
prospect of help save from this yet uni
form science called Eugenics, for they
have denied the power of God and ruled
| him out altogether
| Some scientists mock at the idea of
hell, yet here is a science creating
condition of things that is awful be-
yond other powers OF conception, and
to attain which is only necessary to
leave man to himself In other words,
from their stand point, all that is
necessary to produce the conditions of
hell, is for God to withdraw Himself
from men; or rather that men should go
on in their self chosen way OF depart
ure from God The Eugenist says this
disaster is threatening the civilized
races of men. Then it is our civiliza-
ton that is hurrying US on into the
abyss. The uncivllized races are not so
threatened with fearful calamity. 1t
says some good things with which we
can all agree. They emphasize the i'm
portance of the stock of humanity. 1t
is important that the stock of the tree
be .good, else the fruit can / be good.
The trouble with the children of Adam
is that we are the fruit of tree whose
stock is bat. Reformers are trying to
make the fruit good without changing
the stock. The Divine way is to make
the tree good and the fruit will be good.
If you want good fruit you must have
good seed. good stock. There is only
one way to get this. He who alone has
the power, must make the tree good. "
But presumptuous man will do anything
rather than trust God. So we have
springing from mans extremity his
latest invention -Engenics.
Fallen man loves to make idols, or
gods who may be invoked to do for man
what man could not do for himself
But the old time Idols will not meet the
demands of our present civilization
Science has detected this need, or at
least it claims to have done so and the
leaders are organizing to bring into eX-
istence and present to the race the
much needed God who will avert all
coming disaster and science a condition
of perpetual felicity. Boshl such ego
tisml Such supreme folly. Paul de-
scribes all such when he says, Pro
Tossing themselves to be wise, they be-
come FOOLS" You who have spiritual
discernment can easily see that mans
method of being well born" is a hui
man substitute for Gods method of be-
ing born again.
We need a good seed IN the earth, the
best that can be had. 1t is imperative
that We should have it. To meet this
necessity God sent His Son. He sows
the good seed, the living word in the
hearts of men! He plants the germ of
a new life in the hearts of men. Who
ever receives this good seed of the
word, has the germ of a new life.
Something infinitely better than the
science of Eugenlcs can bestow, even if
it possessed all the powers it desries.
They are more than well born"
they are born again not of corruptible
seed, but of incorruptible, by the word
of God, which liveth and abideth for
ever" This so called science of Eu-
genics is another fad of the day, the
offspring of trouble having its origin in
the desire to get rid of obligation to
and dependence upon God.
Yours truly,
HAM.
