Page 8 , THERE IS A GOD OF THE UNIVERSE. -TQK - WORU,S CRESSET M AY !8th. 1916. . Continued from page 2. . No man could not make the e .'declarations, 487 ana 593 years before it com to pass and then have it come to pass just like it t is prophesied of. So this is proof beyond any doubt, tbat there is a God and that the word of God is true. Before God created the beavenand the earth be dwelt tin the immencety of space, as we have proven. And at a cer tain period of time, this same cod; created the heaven and the earth And created man and placed him on it, and Rive him dominion over all the earth. And after he rested one day he then formed another man from the dust of the ground. And in t connection with this man's life is where we are going to place -our second witness on the stand, to establish our cause, please -read. "Atfd I will put enmity between thee and the womanand between tby seed and her seed; it shall .bruise his beel, Gen 3 15) The man who written this was )orn over two thousand years . (before this seed (Christ) was , (brought into this: world. This is tbe same seed, that is spoken ,.of in this manner, please read. .-Now to Abraham and his seed Tvere the promises made, He saith not, And to seeds, as of many; but as of one, And to thy seed.-whicb is Christ. Gal-3 26) Now this promise was given our bunared and thirty years before'the law was confirmed in Christ for bo was the seed ."promised of ood at the time of tbe fall of man in tbe garden. . tlo human being could tell rtbis ho long ahead unless a high . cr power than man, dictated it. But we shall requote the avrppbesy spoken over lour un bred years before it come to pass, please read. In that day shall there be a ;reat mourning of Hadadrim mon In the valley of Megtddom. .Zech 12-11.) This prophesy is being fulfill ed, now in this present time, as jou can read in the following ( . -language THE WAILING PLACE One of the most astounding and in , comprehensible features of Jew ish existance in Jerusalem is :hown every Friday in the gath ering of crowds of people of this once proud race in a small area immediately under tbe wail oil the Southwest corner of the I Temple of Oroer, the structure .alleged to cover tba site of Sol omon's temple. On this little bit of earth the old and the young the men women and -children of the Israelitish inhab itants, gather on this particular ..day of the week, lift up their - -voices in lamentations, and pray er for the return of the Jews to power; to that supremacy which -once combated great armies. sand, to that teropto built-by tbat ruler of Israel whose name has ..never been a synonym of .wis .Anm and btrwurth. The sight Ha a. oitiable one is many ways The abject poverty of most of the mourners eieltea sympathy ratber tban clertskm. The hope xj vt.h . for a restoration to fr aw . ' -v.er which animates these peo- , pie ould be sublime if their degradation were qofc so low as to remove ihem from a po-ibili- ty of admiration. A more melancholy phrase of Luman ! debasement it will ht impossible .to discover more patriotic and more hopeless supplications sel dom come through human lip?. The Jews of the city were perhaps live thousand, in number (at first but not now over one hundred thousand. Tbe Land of Christ. No living map can read this prohpesy and fulfillment, and say with an honest heart, that this was gotten up by man. Now this is the God of tbe universe, who inspired the, Pro phet. But as we have said then is an opposite power, who is trying with all his might to be come the victor, but is the can't. This ou.v God that placed j nature here, and placed man tbe highest character on earth emb ued man with wisdom and knowledge. This our God who can giv) life and take it again. Never slowing the thing made or formed to get above its maker Now readers under the law given to us by this God. .There is a universal Brotherhood - A Brotherhood of love An equa lity of rights No respector of persons uold and silver., cannot buy bim The love of gold and silver has hired men who claim to be his servants, but they are not They are working for the other fellow, and the spirit that leads a good man , is given by this cod and his son. Jesus Christ and not from minerals. And in obedience to the .cod of Heaven, we have a government that will give to each laborer the products of bis labor and not steal it from him. And a universal government of industry in which each and every one will be interested in. And there will be strong bads to do the work No hung ry children, nor motners ith aching hearts. But joy and gladness in every home. AH hyprocricy will be doneaway. and every man gird about with truth, and tbe cry will be deliverance has come deliverance has come. Here we say tbat in the con tinuation of this article, we shall endeavor to st forth to our read er the strongpst points on reco rd, giveu in (avor of geology and true science, and also natural theology. And then coyer their lofty summits r from a Bibical standpoint- In the first place e shall view their artistic fields. wberever tbey have drew a breath of comfort. And then with the Bible truths scale their lofty peaks, and using their truths for us as evidence of a Great Supreme Divine Being. And plant the beacon light; Tee ight of the World.s Christ, in darkplains of unexplored. time of years gone by. Tbat toe in the dark ages of time before man was placed upon tbe earth, or even tbe highest part of the dust was created, Back of the so called dark Chasm, where science cannot go, or nature has never been. Where ' the glorious emerald of Divine power shines brighter than the morning star. By which the wayfaring traveler sees ou his journey from time to eternity. For we believe tbe time has come.f fbr a great restitution ofr the ..past. Spoken by the word f God, And that the mountain of 'he house of th(i Lord shall be e(iiIUhd in the top of mountain, and exulted above the high hills and people shall flyw unto it and nations shalt say come let us go up to the mountain of the Lord; for he will teach us of his way nd we walk in his paths for the law shall go forth of zion and the WORD of the Lord from Jeru salem. Now we know. However, the resemblance of truth, will for any considerable length of time go to serve its turn. We believe it is because the resem blance have like those of Hebbs. have been sham resemblance; and that so much time and labor have to be wasted by impure minds. And now that a wonderful op portunity ba s appeared, so that we at this time are able to com pare, matter of classifications. That is the Human and Divine ideas. The ideas imbodied by Zoologists and Botanists, At least in seme of their respective systems, on the one hand, And the ideas embodied in the Divine Book of the Great Creator, on the other hand. And give the best ceogical history, and this too in connection with good reason. The study of plants and ani mals, seem to be a favorite study with many thoughtful men, not only at tbe present but in every age of the world. For we learn from the Psalmest that these great "works of the Lord are sought out of all them that have pleasure in them." The Book of Job probably the oldest writing in existance, it is full of vivid discriptions of tbe wild denizens of tbe flood and desert Soloman Zoologists and a Botanist; ' He spake of the cedar tree in Lebanon even unto the bysop that sprang out of the wall; and also of the beasts, fowls of the air, and of creeping things of the earth, and the fish of the sea. And there is quite a classification in the manner in which hi& studies is described. This part becomes a law of the human mind. For whenever a large stock of facts is required, You will see tbis in Cowley's "Treaties on the plant." Also Goldsmith, "History of the earth and animated Nature.'' And since tbat time, other men have been improving upon the classi fication of both plants and ani mals. We might name a number of them, and the prominent ideas of all those men has always been uniform, And we shall call to tbe mind of our Readers, four in number of those prom inent ideas, which are these, SUBSCRIBE FOR THE CR ESSET FntST-the sTARLiKtt type of life; Second Tbe articulated tvpe of life; Third mollbsion Fourth Vertebrate type of life. Such we say has been the four central ideas, in the animal kingdom especially, We shall remark here that there is men who would feign repudiate every argument derived from design, and denounce all who hold with Paley and Chalmers as anthro pomorphism who labored to create for themselves a god of their own type and from A nat ural god. "The marks of design are to be denied: design implies a desig ner and the designer must exist prior to the things designed This Designer Called GOD. If the modrrn theory of the EVOLUTION of men and ani mals from germ. Evolution implies and tbe Evoluter THIS MUST BE GOD, Hence the works of creation prove the existance of God. Psa, xix. l;xcv. 3 Isa, xl, 12. Zech. xii, 1 Acts xvii 24, Rom, i 20, The existance of life on tbe earth is proof of an inteligent Creater. Geology carries us hack to a period when this earth jusi cooled from its condition of a molten mass, had not the first trace of life No scch trace ;an be found in the oldest or fire made rocks. But in the water deposited rocus just above them the first traces of organic life is found, The guilt between dead matter and organic life is infinitely broad, It can be bridged not by any entervention of an act of omnipotent power creator. In the geologic epochs there are several such polcts where old races are destroyed and new ones introduced so different from the former that they could not be derived from them and hence they must have been dir ect creations'' And it may not be altogether unprofitable to contemplate the wonderful par allelism which exists between divine and human system of classification. At tbis point yet we say in the establishment of tbe system of the classifications, Geologists had nothing to do with them. "'The science of the geologist seems destined to ex ert a marked influence on that of the natural theologian, For not only does it greatly add to the materials on which the na tural theologian founds bis deductions by adding to the organisms plant and animal, of the present creation of the past with all their extraordinary display of adaptation and design but it affords- bim besides mate rials peculiar itself in the history which it furnishes both of the appearance of those organisms in time and of the wonderful order in which they were chronologically arranged Not only to borrow from Pal ey's illustration does it enable bim to argue on tbe old grounds, from the contrivance exhibited in the watch found on the moor; that the watch could not have lain upon tbe moor forever; but it establishes further, on differ ent and more direct evidence that there was a time when absolutely the watch was not then.; nay further .so to speak that there was a previous time in which no watches existed at all but only water clocks, yet further that there was a time in which there were not even water clocks but only sundials aad further and earlier time still in which sundials were not, nor any measure of time of any kind at, .all. And this, is distinct ground from that urged by Paley . For besides holding that each of these contrivances must have bad in turn an originator or con triver it adds historic facts to philosophic inference, ueology takes up tbe master volumaof the greatest of tbe natural theo logians and after scanning Us many apt instances of palpable ensign drawn from tbe mechan ism of existing plants and ani mals authoritatively decides that not one of these plants or ani mals bad begun to be in the times of the Chalk; nay that they all date their origin from a ' period posterior to tbat of the Eocene. And the fact is of course cor roborative of the inference VTbat well constructed edifice," say, the natural theologian" cannot be a mere lusus natural or chance combination of stones and wood; Continued to Pane, 4.
