It may be of Interest at this mo ment, when Dayton constitutes the Acropolis of America to take togeth er, a fresh peep Into the first chap ters of your Bible (and your Bible is as big as anyone's) and familiarize ourselves anew with what the world is doing so little of just now, looking it up for themselves. The first two chapters of Genesis cover less than three pages of a Bi ble. To determine their meaning has cost more to the human race than any equal text that ever dropped from the htm an pen. Do not think that I would attempt to here decipher its mysteries. If I can accomplish what every railroad signboard ought to do, persuade you to Stop, Look and Listen, and read once more the text for yourself, I shall be happy, and I trust it will not decrease your happiness. CREATE: The Hebrew word (bara) is defined as to prepare, form, fash ion, create. At once we are faced with an ambiguity, and can form no absolute idea from the term. No word ever had an absolute meaning. Isaiah uses exactly the same word (Is. 43:15) in the phrase, "Creator of Israel." The tory of Abraham will give os a bint as to the manner of the ereatloa of Israel. So eoncreU examplei, within our own touch of experience, the "here it is" tort of method, constitute the "two or three witnesses" that settle mont argu ments. The word in the Greek (-ktidio) used by Mark, Paul and John with reference to the same act of God, is defined as to create, form, build. In stitute. Paul in Epheiians (2:10) phrases It, "created in Christ Jesus unto good works. A mighty fine parallel as a spiritual reality, with the first creation "in the image of God." Something of the degree of accu racy in the idea of the writer it seen in the sixteenth and seventeenth verses in hii estimate of the com parative sires of the heavenly bodies, and of their importance; as though the sole purpose of the stars was to give light upon the earth. That would look well set beside soma of the present measurements of astronomy. The 20th verse Is the authority for the belief that prevailed a long way into the last century, when the micro scope proved it false, that the teem ing infusorial life In the water, was of "spontaneous generation" by the water. And men who dared question it were ostracised, hereticated, by Announcement I wish to announce that I have added to my stock The Florsheim Shoe THE FLORSHEIM SHOE is a shoe made for the man who wants style and service.

Geneiii 27:22. When did men come to discredit the literatitjr of the 21st veraet in the assertion that the wa ters "brought forth whales in the same way? The same "bring forth ia applied to grass and insect and mammal as a product of the- soil. Great contentious hair-splitting is exercised over the exact meaning of "bara" as speaking into existence. In the first verse it is said God "cre ated the heavens and the earth." In the seventh God "made" the firma ment, and in the 16th God "made" two great lights. In the 21st God "created' man in His own image, but in the 26th God said let us "make" him in our own image. And that is the kind of evaporation that takes place in any hair-splitting effort at absolute defining of any term, in the ology or philosophy, and yet I have sat in the theological class room lis-; tening to and trying to scrutinize in i such fabrications. In the "fundamentalist's" dizzy headedness, he drops from the exalt ed heights of a pure spiritual ideal ism in which man bears that unap proachable image, in chapter 2:7, to the groveling level of materialism, in the "mud-made" man. Any absolute ly literal interpretation of the scrip tures ia materialistic, and fails of the high idealism of spirituality. And no man ever has nor ever can give a lit eral interpretation of the Genesis story and make it walk, or hang to gether. The same literal interpretation breaks down when applied to the "garden" (2:8-10). Any material meaning given to the "tree of life" and the tree of knowledge of good and evil must be flimsy, and obliter ates the exalted conception of those spiritual realities of which, as God's higher creature he has become an earthly possexnor.
