us, "The body returns to dust from
which it came"
Now about the spirit. The same
verse that tells about the body says
the spirit returns to God who gave it.
These two parts of man, body and
spirit. come from and return to their
respective places of origin uncondition-
ally. High or low, rich or poor, we
must die.
Now, about the soul. Eek. IS a,
Behold all souls are mine," says God,
and then He said, "The soul that sin
meth, it shall die" Thus we see the
soul is subject to certain conditions.
Eek. Is %, 80. Here we finG the soul
called man, hence we learn of outer
and inner man. And again in the goth
verse God declares every soul respon-
, sible for its own sins.
But here someone desires to ask,
''Is not the spirit and the soul one and
the same thingY | answer no. Heb.
10 says, THE word of God is quick
and powerful, piercing to the dividing
asunder of joints and marrow. soul
and spirit" Now, if they can be sep
arated, know they are not one and
the same.
How do these three parts ofiiciate
one with the other? The body is a
house i'm which the spirit and the soul
live. The body is dead (inactive) save
when quickened by the spirit, Rom.
S:11. The soul is that power which
God placed in man and by which man
was given dominion over all the earth.
We will now call man machine
, this only for the purpose of illustra-
ton: Think of man as telephone
a thing in common use. Think of the
soul as the transmitter : think of the
spirit as the wire that connects the
soul and the body. And think of the
body as the receiver. Reverse the
action and we hear the body say 81
have received your order, the work is
done" We have results. Who is re-
sponsible? He who made the order,
the soul.
1t is the soul that thinks! And the
soul is not physical or metaphysical.
1t is the immortal principle in man
that for obedience will rest in peace
with God through eternity or for dis
obedience sink into a devils hell.
Should evolution be taught in public
schools? No. ten thousand times, no!
Should the Bible be taught in pub
lie schools? Yes. Why? Because it
is the only book in the world that tells
us of our origin; who we are; what
we are: whence we came; where we
are going, or anything about what we
will be when we get there.
The Bible is the base on which all
governments are founded, the funda
mental principle of society wherever
civilization has been established.
Mr.. Evolutionistl Deprive yourself
of God (Bible) and tell me what you
are. Tell me whether you are men,
mice or Tasmanian devils.
Now, looking at this object in the
Cosmos, we have just two powers, CEN
trifugal and centripetal. The subject
under consideration is Life, which or
iginated in God. known unto God
was all his works from before the
foundation of the world. BY Him was
all things made that was made" Note
Gods works were and are all good
works
BY His word He framed the world
by the power of His word. He has
wrought, and all things made by Him
are good.
After God had finished the making
and placed man in the garden the devil
came in the garden and by his word
began to work and HERE We have
centripetal power introduced into the
world Mr.. Webster says centripetal
means opposed to centrifugal: Thus
we have two opposing forces or pow
ers. working one against the other.
You remember. there is one sin that
will not be forgiven i'm this world or
i'm the world to come. Now listen
God said He made man. Evolution
says He did not, 1t says He made
single cell. Thus by them God is con-
tradicted. Blasphemy is to contradict,
to contend against, to dispute with.
Hence we see evolution guilty again.
say listen. God has no pleasure in the
death of the wicked but had rather all
would come to repentance and live.
Once more let me ask, Are we
Christ's or are we Anti-Christs. Be
fore we close this article we want to
answer the last and most likely grounds
for criticism. l hear someone ask, rs

all. II so the spirit would become the
