over the cattle, and over all the
earth, and over every creeping
thing that creepeth upon the
earth" Man is above every other
creature in that he possesses intel
lectual faculties, creative powers,
and a moral sense God made us in
his image that we might hold spir-
itual communion with him. This
is mans responsibility; namely to
live up to his divine heritage. Ev-
cry time man sins he mars that
image. God has made our life SO
that he could be seen in us; that is
to say, men seeing us ought to see
His image.
v. 27, 28. $50 God created man
in his own image; male and female
created them. And God blessed
them, and said unto them, Be fruit
full and multiply, and replenish the
earth, and subdue it; and have
dominion over the fish of the sea,
and over the fowl of the air, and
over every living thing that liv-
eth upon the earth" God planned
that man should not be idle but use
his endowed powers in developing
latent possibilities in all material
things that might be a blessing
when developed and supervised.
To betray the dominion of power
given to man is to spoil Gods pro-
gram and to break up the brother
hood of man. That man best full
fills his destiny who sees a human
need and applies his power to weed
out of Gods creation that which
will supply that need This is one
of the great purposes God has for
man.
v. 8. "And God saw every thing
that he had made, and behold it
was very good. And the evening
and the morning were the sixth
day" Every thing that God made
was adequately adapted to the end
in view and contained no evil. All
the moral evil in the world was
made by man. Violations of law in
nature and in all of life make for
evil. Here is call for man to
know God, his laws, his will, and
to conform his life to them.
Thus the heavens and the earth
were finished, and all the host of
heaven. Here is suggested the vast
neess and multiplicity of the work
of creation that God had carried to
a successful conclusion.

NIGHT FISHING PERMITTED IN
MUSKINGUM CONSERVANCY

Night fishing in the Muskingum
Conxervancy lakes is permitted,
Mark White, fish management
agent of the conservancy district.
reports. Some anglers have had
the notion that night fishing was
p1Ehibited.
Anyone may fish all night on
alB of the Muskingum lakes, either
from shore or from his boat
for which he has paid a license fee
to the Conservancy Board" White
says. He adds that some fishermen
thought that night fishing was pro-
Inhibited when they were requested
to return their boats to the rental
liveries by p. m. The reason for
this request, he said, was that COM
few fishermen as yet
have learned Of the excellent fish
ing to be enjoyed in the lakes and
as result the demand for boats
has not been sufficient to justify
the boat livery men keeping their
offices open all night. 1t is quite
likely that as the demand for boats
increases and more fishermen de-
sire to fish at night, there will be
means provided for them to get
boats for this purpose.

God, the Creator, Genesis 1:15
24-31; 2, 1, for Sunday, July 5.
The Bible as the word of God has
a dignified and majestic opening
Little attention is given to details
as written; the account has sweep
ing statement calling for faith as to
the beginning of all things and
derly direction by procession of
laws. God made no mistakes in
creation, and SO we may trust him
fully.
created the heavens and the earth"
Creation is not chance happening.
In the study of cause and effect,
relative to this, we can find no
cause but God in answer to the ex-
istence of all things. No one can
say how God did it; but, SO we'll
was it done that only God could
do it. God is first in creation !;
hence he ought to be first in mans
thinking and living; not to make
Him first is to be disappointed and
unhappy.
V. 2. 'And the earth was waste
and void; and darkness was on the
face of the deep, and the spirit of
God moved upon the face Of the
waters" In the beginning all was
chaos; God seemed to brood over
this chaos as bird might brood
over it's eggs in nest; he had life
giving power.
v. 8. "And God said, Let there
be light" Light came when God
spoke. Spiritual light comes to the
soul today when God speaks.
V. 4. "And God saw the light,
that it was good; and God divided
the light from the darkness This
verse indicates that there was an
orderly process in creation. Here
is spiritual implication in that the
light of mans righteous influence
ought to shine in the midst of dark
ness and sin. Love, ardor, unself-
ishness, pure motives--these make
the light of souls. Impurity, hate,
avarice, lust for power-these are
of darkness.
v. "a, 25. 'And God said, Let
the earth bring forth the living
creature after his kind, cattle and
creeping thing, and beast of the
earth after his kind; and it was so...
And God saw that it was good"
God could not be ruler of dead
universe All that God did and
does today is good for in it all
there is an eternal purpose.
v. 26. "And God said, Let us
make man in our own image, after
our likeness, and let them have
dominion over the fish of the sea
