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 THE KIWAINIS KALL Published Weekly on Thursday by the Kiwanis Club of Fort Valley, Ga. THURSDAY, SEPT. IS, 1924 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. 0 Program Friday, Sept. l!Hh, 12 o’clock, in charge of Judge H.

Biaiffn-wiwiiMi nuu 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. In the beginning God created—I. The Material World. God created j .period the heaven about and which earth in know that nothing. dateless we 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.
