BIRTH, FALL AND
"In the Beginning God,"
BY DR. WALTER B. HINSON.
Bun and moon bright.
Night and moonlight,
Etarry temples, azure floored:
Winds of God that shout for gladness,
Cloud and rain and wild wind's madness;

SPEAK to you this morning, as God
may help me. about the Book of
Genesis, which is the gateway to1
the inspired volume. For clearness of
thought, we might do well to remember
It has been affirmed (the books speaks
of Generation, and also of Degenera
tion, and yet again of Regeneration.
It takes for granted the existence of
God. But It makes no attempt to prove
his existence. And It says nothing
about the eternal years of his life. It
merely feays. In its simple, august way:
"In the beginning. God created the
heaven and the earth."
Skies Tell Gospel.
Astronomy is a most wonderful
science. And to tho man who sweeps
the night sky with his telescope, and
thinks over again the thoughts of God.
the heavens must declare the glory of
God, and the firmament show his han
diwork. For finer than all the speech
of mortals is the gospel of these starry
skies; where no language is heard; but
by the eternal and universal, yet silent,
language of symbolism, God has writ
ten his greatness and his glory
athwart the heavens.
And he created the earth also. Com
mencing to be by the direct creation
of the eternal. It has a gospel pecu

and the tree, and the singing bird, and
the passing panorama of the seasons

The generation of woman also, ex

the lessons the story is calculated to

says, from man's head to rule over

And the origin of all the arts and

to find himself, and to enter into his
wonderful possession of which Jehovah
spoke, when he said, "Have dominion
over all things, and subdue the powers
of the earth." As somebody has poet

What a fascination the origin of evil
has had for thoughtful minds of every
age! I suppose if half the time and
labor that has been expended on try
ing to find out how evil came into the
world, had been expended upon the
strenuous purpose of putting evil out,
it would have been much better for
the children of man. Some have
thought the world existed long before
Adam's day, as the abiding place of
angels; and that it, away in the dark
ness of antiquity, was the scene of
the struggle between those intelli
gences who were obedient, and those
who, were disobedient to the will of
God; and that as a result, it lapsed
back into the chaotic condition de
scribed in Genesis as being "without
forrn and void."
But we know nothing about that. We
only know the evil existed before the
man was made. And we see it com

The one phase of all the war that im
pressed Mrs. Palmer most was the fail
ure of the suffragettes to devote the
machinery of their organization to alle
viating distress caused by the war.
She declared the organization in Eng
land had funds, means and plenty of
workers to launch a tremendous move
ment for the aid of civilization
"And because they failed to see their
chance," she said, "their work will re
main slow in progress if not stagnant
for years. It is a pity they did not do
something.
After war had been declared Mrs.
Palmer said Bhe felt conspicuous riding
about in her car when nearly every
motor had been commandeered by the
armies. Hers, she said, had been spared
on account of its extreme lightness.
BOYS ESCAPE ON ENGINE
Wild Ride of 60 Miles an Hour
Takes Lads Safe From Pursuit.
SEDALIA, Mo, Oct. 20 Escape from
the Reform School at Boonville, Mo.,
a wild ride through the night on a
stolen engine, pursued by detectives
on another engine, in imminent danger
of being hurled into a wreck through a
dispatcher's, orders was the experience
recently of four boys.
Seven boys Were in the party that
evaded guards and left the school.
Three were recaptured. According to
the authorities, the remaining four
made their way to Sedalia.
Engine No. 708, one of the largest on
the Missouri, Kansas & Texas Railway,
stood in the yards here with steam up.
Soon railroad employes noticed it was
moving. Another engine was quickly
secured and with detectives aboard
started in pursuit. But the race was
one-sided. No. 708. bearing the fleeing
lads, quickly drew away.
Orders were given by the train dis
patcher here to derail the stolen engine
at Pilot Grove, 35 miles south of Se
dalia. With whistle blowing and bell
ringing the engine, traveling 60 miles
an hour, reached Pilot Grove before
the switch had been set and swept
through the town. A mile further on
it was abandoned and the boys
escaped.

That Is a non-essential, and compara
tively unimportant thing. But think
rather about our first parents' listen
ing to a hellish suggestion such as this,
that the good God, who had placed
them In such a fair garden, and had
been so lavish In blessing, really was
moved by the motive suggested by the
tempter, "He doth know that in the
day ye eat. ye shall be as he is, and
therefore in a manner selfish and dam
aging to you, he has forbidden the par
taking of that fruit."
Thus sin at its start bears upon It
the brand of the pit, and is foul with
the slime of perdition. And how soon
that sin moves from the individual into
the family. "I have gotten a man from
the Lord," said Eve, in her loving pride.
And then one day that unknown thing
that had been hinted at in" the garden,
became a tangible fact for the first
time under God's stars, and a woman
bowed broken-heartedly over the
corpse of her child; and for the first
time there was a family Into which had
entered death. And such a death!

And this sin in the family, shall still
move outward until it lays hold of the

"Yes, I like newspaper work very

it awfully interesting. You ought to

Conditions! Why,, even a flood would
not change the condition of the evil
heart, for the sin remained. I am not
denying but that conditions should be
better;, but I am giving the lie straight
to the man who tells me the human
heart will be changed if you only make
an alteration In the environment of the
human life.
And I am now making effort to give
the lie to a whole lot of this social
service gospel of the 20th Century; and
I tell you plainly, as you can be told,
that it is not the things without or
about a man, but the things within a
man, that work the deadliest evil. And
so we see the Edenic and patriarchal
dispensation going down in wild doom,
not because of poor conditions; and
not because of no revelation being of
fered; but because the heart of man
was desperately wicked, and that evil
heart has never changed one whit.

Lastly, the book of Genesis treats of
Regeneration. I have never seen what
some wise and good men have seen In
the Garden of Eden; Calvary, the Cross
and the Christ, typified, and prophe

with skins. Yet it may be true, all
they say. And that it is a beautiful il
lustration of the atonement. I am glad
ly admitting.
But there was a promise spoken in
that garden, to which my faith clings.
For God said to evil, "You shall bruise
the heel of the coming one; but he shall
bruise your head." And that Genesis
prophecy concerning Jesus Christ was
destined to go on broadening like some
mighty river, until I think they Bay
there are over 300 distinct prophecies
of the coming Jesus in the Old Testa
