Wednesday evening Rev. L. X.
Van Wrinkle Of the ~ rst Christian
church again referred 20 the fact
that man was the last ia the order
of creation and therefore was the
greatest creature Of the earth in his
sermon on Mans Home"
when man appeared il was
known 10 him that home would be
prepared. In the long ages before
man II was prophesized that home
would be in readiness for him. The
light from the sun. the trees the
herbs. fruit. nOurishment. which
after decay formed fuel for man to
warm by. were the signs of the
prophecy.
And God created paradise for
man and filled it with wOndrous trees
and delicious fruit and called it the
Garden OF Eden. In this garden he
placed the tree OF life which bore the
fruit of good and evil. Man was
placed In the garden 10 work and the
stamp Of labor was put upon him.
God made man incomplete. so ne
made woman from his side and not
from his feet. that she might not be
his slave but his equal and their
home was the first.
And then came the great sin and
the home was wrecked. But God
brought redemption TO the earth TO
reestablish the home Of man. in the
coming OF Jesus Christ"

as a sea OF destruction and our own
personal habits are the elements Of
destruction AS the wind whipped
the sea and waves in TO the boat of
the disciples. SO Satan's power lashes
the sea OF sinfulness and elements
Of il enter into our lives.
The disciples sought help only
when they had 10 have il. They
tried every effort of self preservation
first So many individuals try every
method OF self salvation. But the
disciples could not bail out the water
from the boat. Even so men cannot
bail ont their sinfulness Like the
disciples they must plead TO the
Master"
