THE FALSE AMD THE TRUE.
u
When the human family was estab
lished upon the earth, there were
specific directions given for its gov
ernment and occupation.
The beginning was indeed very
beautiful, and filled with prospects of
hap)nness throughout the generations
to follow. But sin, in concrete form,
took possession of the human mind,
and begun its work of devastation,
through the disobedience of the first
man and woman, to the laws of God.

A. L. Crouch
Since the story of this fall of the
Gud-made man to the false ideal of
the human ideas, men have contin
lally, down through the ages, sought
out a rest and peace, and a method
of happiness apart from the original
ideas, and along the line of some ab
stract sin, which appeared to be in
the light of right, but not accord
ing to God’s idea.
Men from the first begun to hate
each other, and to take the lives of
each other through selfish lusts, and
in their denseness, caused by forget
ting God, they failed to see the judg
( ment they had brought upon the fam
, ily of murderers throughout all gen
। erations to come, and failing to see
। this course, men have continued to
! murder their fellow men, regardless
of the great commandment against
the crime.
Superstitions have been a false
i standard established by man-made
devices, and carried into practices by
I 'he most intelligent of beings, and
vhile in many instances even this
practice has at times been seeming
ly worth credence, there is a certain
ty that its principles are wrong, for
the theory will not work with all men
and under all circumstances, so the
conclusion is that what is not good
or true for one man, is not good or
true for all men.
Men established thrones to prove
their superiority over woman, and
made laws and rules for governing
the two sexes by different standards,
and this was based upoi^ the lowest
conception of man’s idea of God and
righteousness, but for years and gen
erations was practiced until the hu
man family became corrupted beyond
the power of any mortal thought to
re-establish or purify, and when
courts and potentates and Sanhedrins
and all other powers failed to get
the glimpse of righteousness, through
their distorted views of how to bring
man back to his normal standard, as
a child Os God, it was made possible
that through the sp^t of God, the
Christ idea was born, which separate
from any other power brought forth
a man Divine in idea, but human in
form, to bring the world to a moral
and equal standard, where there
should be neither male nor female,
but divine truth, to guide and over
come the false standards.
Even after the coming of Christ,
these sins of the former dispensations
were so rooted and grounded into
the human conscience that men re
fused to accept His proffered doc
trines and be saved from the false
practices they established for them
selves. And while the Christian era
has brought with it many demonstra
tions of God’s power over the human
laws and standards, there is yet a
time to come when His throne shall
be established, according to the
teachings of the Christ who visited
the earth, so long ago, and who left
these teachings as a lesson that all
men shall positively learn and obey,
and when this is understood, and not
until then, will the false standards,
the efforts to assuage our fears by
superstituions, the desire to murder
our fellow men, the desire to have
one-half of the human race predom
inate over the other half, be done
away with and the throne of right
eousness will have been established
which will make all men brothers,
and bring about the promise of the
angels’ proclamations, and we shall
then see the Eden of God’s idea
again established upon the face of
the earth.
HOME READING COURSE.
The home reading course for he
soldiers in camp, issued by the Un
ited States government, gives a
splendid opportunity for the young
men in the army, before they are
called upon for actual service to pre
pare for life, before and after battle,
for it is a fact that not all of a sol
dier's life is spent in fighting, and it
is often the case that the soldier
spirit is greatest when service lies
dormant, since at this time the boys
and men away from "home have their
greatest temptations to overcome
This course is given in separate
lessons, and are put out under groups
of three subjects to the lesson, with
a full discourse on each subject.
Truly the Unites! States govern
ment is doing every thing in its pow
er to care for the higher life of the
soldiers and there should be no ex
cuse for any soldier who is led away
of his own lusts.
