Not in evolution, but in creation,
is the secret of mans uniqueneSs in

only explanation that will hold water
is the Geresis record that God
created man in His own image,
with eo1like qualities and capaci-

One of my most honored friends
is a famous astronomer. I once
said to him. About all that I
know and believe concerning as
tronomv is in the little poem by
Jabez T Sunderland:
The stars shine over the land,
The stars shine over the sea;
The stars look up to God above,
The stars look down on me.
THE stars will live for a million
yeals,
For million years and day;
But God and I shall live and love
When the stars have passed away.
My friends eyes filled up, as he
replied with deep feeling. That
is true! That - true!" The great
reality of all creation is that it is
the work of an Eternal Being who
chooses to be known by the tender
name of Father" The only salts
factory record of life is that which
we are studying in Genesis. Within
its vast and simple frame there is
room for all that man has been
able to discover concerning the
process Of creation.
Gods Greatest Goal.
In the catechisms of the churches
we study The chief end of man. "
There should also be question and
answer concerning the chief end of
God. For Genesis makes clear that
the crowning work of the Creator
and His continuing interest is man.
whom He endowed with qualities
partaking of His own nature. The
lengths to which God has gone in
His care and training of man
apexed in the sending of Jesus to
be Savious-are written clear in
history and in the Bible.
Now, in our day, God is mani
festly doing something spectacular
with the world He has made and
with the peoples he has commits
stoned to rule it. This places upon
every one of us the obligation to
fulfill His purpose so far as we may
learn it. Our comfort is that "Our
times are in His hand" We cannot
know fully the Divine mind, but we
can be sure that human personality
liberty, welfare, justice, truth, mercy
and brotherhood are qualities de-
rived from Him, and having Hi'
full support.
His ways are not to be measured
by our clocks and calendars, for HI
dwells in an eternal now. The great
est minds have been overawed by {
sense of the greatness and majest!
of God. Some lesser folk in our day
are prone to forget that God is the
infinite Creator and Ruler OF the
immeasurable universe, and to treat
Him colloquially. as if He were JUS
another man. We have not reac

sensed the sovereignty and glory Of
the Almighty. The Creator is also
King and Father. AS Tennysor
