EVENING SERMON
TheIncarnation of Jesus

emily would make an eye. and an
other set of atoms should make
this old world of sky and set and
air?
And is it not a third wonderful
thing that a set of atoms working
independently should make an eye,
and a world, and when you bring
that eye and world together you
find the eye and the world peculiar
ly adapted to each other? How do
you explain that?
Oh, there is a will that resides in
each atom that made the eye up.
How did the wills" know what
kind of world to make to fit the
eyer
They say a will residing in each
atom made the world. Then how
did the wills" know in each atom
that made the world what kind OF
q world to make to fit the eye?
Then the wills residing in all
the atoms must have a conclave,
and the willis" in the atoms that
made an eye said:
7 am going to make this kind of
an eye"
And the others said:
I'VE will make this kind of a
world"
Now. here; 1 will put fellow in
the cellar here in Los Angeles and
say:
Make a lock-
And / will put another fellow in
a cellar some other place, and say
to him:
Make a key"
And when you bring them togeth-
er. why that key fits the wards in
the lock. How do you explain? One
mind was presiding over it, and the
mind said to one man:
you make a key" and the same
mind to the other man, You make
lock-"
And of course when they were
brought together they had to Mt.
Even Our Sins Provided For.
That is just exactly how 1 ht. and
how you fit. in this old world. Is it
not wonderful that a set of atoms
will make chicken in the shell
with an organism that it cannot use
in the shell. but when it comes out
it finds conditions in the world pc
culiarly adapted to the development
of that organism?
That is because God made the
chicken and God made the world,
and knew what the chicken needed
| and wanted So when you crewled
into this world you found the world
exactly suited to your organism
And God Almighty knew that you

! setisfies thirst. God knew you and
g. your needs and sin and provided SAL
vatiOns through Jesus Christ. And it
! fits your case. So this is not luck.
Take consciousness, THE power
of my mind by which 1 know my
own existence" as the operation of
the laws of nature. But there are
a whole lot of things about myself
that 1 don't know, and a whole lot
of things that you don't know about
yourself, and a whole lot OF things
about both of us that the doctor
/ knows. There are lots of things
j about you that l. know. that you
don't know; and a whole lot of
| things about both of us that no one
but God knows.
Reason says, give the body drink.
Reason says, give it food. 1 do that,
therefore my life is preserved, be-
| cause 1 care for my body according
/ to my knowledge-certain
But there are a whole lot of
things about myself that 1 don't
know. But do refuse to care for
! myself because there are a lot of
/ things that 1 don't know?
Can you trace the circulation of
the blood? No, you will get balled
! up in two minutes.
Do you understand how food as
| Stimulates to the body. and makes
ahir. and corpuscles and veins, and
bones, and muscles2 No. Well, will
you refuse to eat because you have
not sense enough to understand?
Then there are lots of things that
people don't understand. Then
don't you butt into God because
there are lot of things that you
can't understand. You poor fool,
there are a lot of things that YOU
can't understand that you believe.
Here are mysteries on every hand.
am compelled to believe, or cease
to exist, right now.
II you had lived in the time of
Homer and asked what upheld the
universe you would have been told
it rested on the shoulders of a giant
\ named Atlas.
And we borrowed the old hea-
thenistic idea and put a picture on
the front of, the geography of a
great big guy with the world on his
| back.
whoever saw old Atlas and upon
what did he stand while he upheld
the universe? They just simply be-
lieved the mystery.
No Philosophy Explains Everything
