of the 18th Chapter of Genesis the
following:
"And the whole earth was of one
language, and it came to pass, as
they journeyed from the East, that
they found a plain in the land of
Shinar, and dwelt there; And they
said one to another, Go to, let us
make brick, and burn them tho
roughly; and they had brick for
stone, and slime had they for NOR
tar, and they said, Go to, and let
us build city and tower, whose
top may reach unto Heaven; and
let us make us name, lest we be
scattered abroad upon the face of
whole earth. And the Lord came
down to see the city and the tower,
which the children of men had
built, and the Lord said, behold the
people are one, and they have all
one language; and this they began
to do, and now nothing will be re-
strained from them, which they
have imagined to do. Go to, let us
go down, and there confound their
language, that they may not I'M
derstand one another's speech. So
the Lord scattered them abroad
from thence upon all the face of
the earth; and they left off to build
the city. Therefore. is the name
of it called Babel; because the
Lord did there confound the Ian
guage of all the earth. and from
thence did the Lord scatter them
abriod upon the face of all the
earth"
We hope you comprehend our
purpose in selecting these Bible
truths to remind you of the sins
and wickedness of the people thou
sands of years ago. How they fall
ed in their man made schemes and
plans, leaving the creator of all
things absolutely out and the re-
suits of such planning is total fail
ure, whether in the individual life,
or the life of nation, or nations.
We have built what is known as
great Christian civilization, and
our failure to keep the commands
of Christ, our great organizer of
this the greatest order ever given
to mankind, is surely placing us
in the same position as that of
the nations thousands of years ago.
We are leaving Christ out of our
lives, and we are each going our
own way with hearts full of Greed
hate and selfishness. Our love to
God and mankind is in name only,
and thereby calling the penalty of
such sins upon us, which is death
and destruction.
This is the reward which we
have been duly warned of in the
Scriptures. We each have our own
idol god that we are serving faith
fully. We have left the real Christ
out of our lives and are hiding
behind the word Christianity. God
in his own way is unmasking each
and everyone of us, and is requir-
ing an account of our naked souls
for our stewardship here. Yes, the
time is at hand, The Great Master
of us all is demanding a strict ac-
counting. The President, the Sem
ate Congress, Kings and Queens
all look alike to this great Mas
ter of the vineyard. Every knee
shall bow, the high shall be
brought low, and the meek shall
inherit the earth. The heart with
hate, jealousy, prejudices, cove
tousness, deceit and hypocracy can
never enter Gods kingdom.
Check up folks, see where you
stand. 1t won't be long before you
will have to meet the one who died
on Calvary's tree, that you might
live and face to face give an ac-
count of your stewardship in his
absence. Have you done all in your
power to bring his kingdom to
earth? Have you loved God with
all your heart and your neighbor
as yourself? These words are our
Savior Chief commands to all man.
kind. Who will be able to answer
in the affirmative when he comes
to collect his jewels? Earnest
prayer to God makes all things
right. Let us pray.
