The evidence of man s sin ana failure is everywhere about us today. Two world wars within bur own time provide a suffi cient and striking commentary upon the Genesis story of the fall of man; and the revelations of World War II have shown to what incredible depths of base ness, violence, and cruelty men Can descend. The essential truth of the Gen esis story, with its allegory of the serpent, and the apple, and the 7ree of Knowledge of Good and Evil, is that man sinned and fell, and that, the essence of sin is dis obedience to the divine command. Genesis represents man s sin as eating of the forbidden fruit and the fact that in his disobedience man became conscious of wrong, and a moral being, capable of distinguishing between good and evil, has led some to say that "the fall was a fall upward." In line With this, is the notion that sin is a sort of lesser good, a factor in human progress, man learn ing by his mistakes, as a burnt child dreads the fire. . This was all very plausible, and pleasant; but we don't hear much of it today. It doesn't accord with the Bible or the facts of life. We see sin, not as a "lesser Cove News COVE (Special) Miss Ella Sutherland of Spokane has been visiting her father, L. D. Suther land. Miss Sutherland is a nurse.

There is no fall upward in such fiendishness. We are conscious today, loo, bf the consequences of man's sin. Adam and Eve lost the Idyllic Garden of Eden, but can we not see in that a symbol of the Eden of peace, and prosperity, and contentment and happiness, that man has lost today through sin and selfishness, and hatred and strife? The knowledge and in ventive genius that ought to have blessed man .and added to his happiness have been turned to discovering and developing new er and more powerful weapons of destruction and ways of using them. It is of no use simply to wring our hands and deplore war; we hove discovered that sinners and aggressors have to be stop .ped But wars arise from sin and wrongdoing, and man pays a ter rific price for disregarding God's way of peace, and righteousness and love. It is estimated that 80 million people have lost, their lives in World War II, and there can be no estimate of the sacri fices and sufferings of other mil lions of the living. But over against man's sin and failure stand God's promises, and God's redeeming grace. If , it were not for these, man must have perished completely iohg ago. The world is not all evil. War itself brings out the human heritage of courage, devotjon to a cause, and willingness to del that others may live. Man has sinned and failed; but God is not dead. His promises are fulfilled in countless num bers, who love Him and whb love their fellowmen. Sodom might have been spared, had there been a few righteous men within its wicked gates. There are many righteous in this war-stricken; sinful world of today, and they are the hope and assurance of Its salvation. -J0 Produce a Sturdy, More Productive Flock with Alber's Feeds They are scientifically com pounded into a nourishing, balanced ration.
