THE BOOK OF GENESIS
By J. W. SMITH
The Creation—Chapters 1, 2. The
sublime sentence, “In the beginning
God created the heaven and the
earth, I > stands like a great archway
at the beginning of the universe. In
the beginning of heaven, earth, time,
the Bible, and the redemption of the
human race, we find God. There was
the beginning of those things since
there was a God Who had no begin¬
ning. Without Him there could have
bien no beginning. God was from all
eternity. In the eternity there is no
beginning.
The first four words of the Bible
show the folly of Atheism, the ab
surdity of Pantheism, the falsity of
Polytheism, and the untruthfulness
of Materialism. The words reveal that
there is a God, that Gpd is one God,
that God is independent of the world,
a id that God is a Spirit.
Three creative acts of God are re
c irded in the first chapter of Gene
sis He created the heaven and the
.
earth, animal life, and human life.
There are two Hebrew words used
for creation. The word “Bara, I the
origination of the absolutely new,
and is found at the commencement of
material world, the animal world, and
the human world. It never means to
make something out of a material
already made. The word

Robert George, of Philadelphia, has said:
.. The twenties are the moulding years of a man’s life,
when the young man forms those habits that shall direct
his career. Then he finishes his school work, stands be¬
fore the altar, establishes a home and looks the world in
the eye.
l’he thirties are years of discouragement. It is a
hard and trying time for all. It is quite often a time of
battle without the poetry and dream of youth.
“The forties are the years of vision, when a man
finds himself, finishes his castles in the air and knows the
value of his dream.
>. Life comes to its ripening in the fifties. These
should be the years of jubilee and he should do his best
Work then.
u At sixty a man has committed enough mistakes to
make him wise far above his juniors. He should live bet¬
ter and do better work than in any decade of his life. No
man has a right to retire in the sixties; the world has need
of his wisdom.
«• Some of the best work in the world is done in the
seventies. No man has the right to retire at any age un¬
less he wishes to die. A word of congratulation to those
who have reached seventy and beyond; we trust that you
have fought a good fight and that there is laid up for
you a crown of righteousness. 9 }
The Kiwanis Club of S’andersville invites several
members to be their guests for their meeting tomorrow—
Friday, Sept. ll)th. It is hoped that several will go; if YOU
can go, get in touch with C. L. Shepard immediately. It
will do you good to go to Sandersville; it is only thru con¬
tact that we develop and broaden our vision and appre¬
ciation of just what Kiwanis does and can represent.

means to form or fashion a thing
out of material already created. The
word “God” occurs thirty-two time.;
in the first chapter of the Bible,
showing that nothing was created
(Bara) or made (Asah) without Him.

Whatever ages are required by geolo¬
gists are provided between verses
one and two. The heaven and the
earth, when created by God, were
prfect; for all His works are perfect.
! However, it may be inferred from
verse 2 as well as from Jer. 4: 23-26
and other passages in the Scriptures,
that the earth had undergone a cata¬
clysmic change, had been “broken
down at the presence of the Lord,
and by His fierce anger,” which ca¬
tastrophe may be connected with the
testing and rebellion of the fallen
angels: so that it was “without form
and void, or formless and empty.
During the first three days of the
creation the heaven and the earth
received their form, while their emp¬
tiness was filled during the last three
days.
On the first day of the creation we
have the diffusion of light, which
was separated from the darkness,
God calling the light “Day” and the
darkness “Night.” There are three
ways in which the word “day” is used
in Scriptures—the solar day of
twenty four hours, the day set apart
for some special purpose, as the day
of judgment, and the period of time
in which God’s purpose is revealed
' and accomplished. The days of craa
were, according to many schol-
r/wa. . jrt awAammttPM'A
ars, of twenty four hours each.
On the second day the waters were
divided. The atmospheric ocean,
cording to Lieutenant Maury, “con¬
tains an amount of water equal
a lake 16 feet deep, 3,000 miles
broad ai d 24,000 miles long.’’ With¬
out God, Who is the Upholder of
things, this would be impossible;
water is 700 times heavier than air.
The amount of water on the
is 327,000,000 cubic miles. On the
third day the dry land and plant life
appeared. The dry land appearing
immediately leads us to believe that
there must have been a tremendous
convulsion of the exterior of the
globe, upheaving certain portions of
the land and depressing other parts,
thereby leaving vast hollows into
which the waters covering the sur¬
face of the earth recoded, and within
which they were confined.
“Immediately the mountains huge
appear
Emergent, and their broad bare
backs upheave
Into the clouds; their tops ascend
the sky:
So high as heaved tiie (umid hills, so
low
Down sunk a hollow bottom broad
and deep,
Capacious bed of waters. M
As soon as the world was prepared
for life, vegetation appeared, Every
thing in the vegetable kingdom is
“after its kind.” The reproduction is
according to kind. Therefore, the the
ory of evolution is condemned by the
Bible.
“He scarce had said, when the bare
earth,, teil then
Desert and bare, unsightly, un-
adorned,
Brought forth the tender grass,
whose verdure clad
Iler universal face with pleasant
green.
On the fourth day we have the ap¬
pearance of the sun, moon and stars:
We believe these luminaries were
created at the beginning; but the
tmek clouds of darkness shut them
out so that there could be no distinc¬
tion of day and night, or of years
or of seasons. They were made to ap¬
pear not only to give light, but to
mark day and night and seasons.
“Lift up your eyes on high and be¬
hold Who hath created these things.’’
An Arab in his tent in the desert was
asked, “How do you know there is a
God?” He replied, “How do I know
whether it was a man or a camel that
went by my tent last night?” He
knew by the footprints in the sand
1 knew by the footprints. The mirks in
the sand showed whether it was a
1 man’s foot, or a camel’s foot, thathad
passed his tent. So the Arab said,
{ “That'is the way I know These God. I know His

ALL DOPE MAY BE UPSET ’ '
BY AUTO RACES, THIS YEAR
Atlanta, Ga.--The best auto races
ever seen In the South are thoso
staged each year at the Southeastern
Fair In Atlanta, and the entries this
year will embrace the names of a
number of drivers of international
fame.
Two days, the first and last, are
devoted to this sport, the dates be¬
ing October 4 and 11, (.his fall, and
It is expected that the track record
at Lakewood will ho further lowered
before the close of tliesa events. The
present track record is 44 1/2 sec

fulness in his life (Gal. 5: 22, 23).
3. The Moral Condition at the
present time is pictured by the state j
between Gen. 1: 3 and 1: 16. Christ,
the true Light, shines in the dark
ness, but He is seen only by the eye !
of faith. The Church, of which the I
moon is a typo, shines in the dark¬
ness as it reflects the light of the
Sun of Righteousness, and allows
nothing to come between her and
her Lord, while the individual be¬
lievers, like stars, are to be shining j

FINER DAIRY ’ EXHIBIT

Atlanta, Ga.—The butter and cheese
exhibits at the Southeastern Fair in
Atlanta, October 4 co 11, .should at
tract more than the usual attention,
for it will bo the greatest ever put
on in the Southeast.
Interest Is growing rapidly In this
industry, for it has become one of
the money “crops" of thousands of
farmers who formerly paid little or no
fceed to the quantity or quality of the
milk produced by tlielr cows.
An exhibit much admired by visitors
last year was a life-sized model ol a
Jersey cow of pure butter, and many
new features aro expected In the dairy
