GOD’S JOY IN CREATION ' LESSON TEXT—Genesis 1:1-5, 10-12, 16-18, 26, 27, 31. GOLDEN TEXT—God saw everything that l|e had made, and. behold, It was very good.—Genesis 1:31. The destiny of this world seems to be in the balances in our day with Wicked men ruthlessly trying to destroy that which is good and upright. We are deeply concerned in ours hearts that the right should triumph a»d that a just and righteous pearef should come. In such a day it is good to remind ourselves, as we will In our threemonth series of studies in Genesis, that man did not make this world, nor is i£ the product of natural forces. God made it. is eternal, infinite, and knows-ail Jrom the beginning, is not moved by the impulses of the moment nor staggered by the catastrophes of a day. He made the world. He made man. He had ’a plan for them, and still has which He will in due season wjork (Jut for His own glory. I. God Made Heaven and Earth (W. 1-5, TO-12, 16-18). account of creation—“ln tje beginning God" — stands as signified, satisfactory, intelligent Explanation of the origin of thinglj and in bold contrast to the conftjjlng and almost unbelievable theories of men. Th®. best of scientists admit that they ftnow nothing of the origin of thingjj and some say that they never will know. The answer to this query, with Which every human philosophy opens* is the affirmation with which the define account in Genesis opens —“liEthe beginning God.” Space forbids full discussion of the atcount of creation, but a study of it jyill reveal its beautiful order, symmetry, and completeness. Compare that orderly account with the absurdities of the ancient human cosmogonies, and you have a new regard for Scripture. 11. God Made Man in His Own (mage (vv. 26, 27). Although man has often so debased himself by sin and disobedience to God that it seems almost -unbelievable, it is nevertheless true that he was made in the and image of God. Because that is true, we never give up hope for hifn. Because of that image, no matter' how deeply defaced by sin, man still may be touched by redeeming grace and restored to fellowship with God The Hkeness and image of God in man refers to a moral and spiritual likeness. Man is a living soul with intelligence, feeling and will. He is a moral being, knowing the difference between right and wrong. He is a self-conscious, personal being. To man God gave dominion over the earth and all its potential powers. Sometimes one has been hopeful that man was making good progress' "in the development of the eaith’-s resources for his own good and the glory of God. But one is sad to see how he has used this great God-given opportunity for destruction 2nd death. Only a revival of real Christianity can bring him back to his senses. Let us pray and work for ft. Observe, that the family was established as-the center of man’s life on earth, sis God gave him a “help meet untaThim.” Woman was taken “not outlet man's head that she should rul? over him; nor out of his feet to be trampled upon; but out of his sitfe to be equal with him, under his arm to be protected by him, and near his heart to be loved byUim” (Matthew Henry). The daeay of family life and the modern substitution of social and civic unit? as the basis of life have led to disastrous results, one of which is juvenile delinquency. Not only do we need a revival of religion, we also need a revival of the home life of the nation. 111. God Made All Things Well (v. 31). When men do recognize the hand of God in creation, they often seem to feel tha,t what He made was rather limited and defective. It would almost seem that God should be grateful ’ that man has been so clever about perfecting His work, developing it and making it useful. As a matter of fact, God, who had all knowledge and whose standards are higher than man’s standards could possibly be, looked over His creation and “behold, it was very good" (v. 31). It was a “finished” job (2:1). Man has destroyed much of creation's beauty. Sin came in and marred it. What man’s inventive cleverness has developed of the possibilities of this world is only a minute fraction of what is yet available. Instead of boasting, man might well be distressed at the pathetic slowness with which he has “thought God’s thoughts after Him ’’ Instead of fighting and destroying, ho ought to give his energies to building, developing, and above aU, to loving God with all his heart and his neighbor as himself (Matt 13:8740).

Germany, June 29 — 1 (UP)—Germany delivered a sec--1 ret ultimatum to Turkey early in 1941, threatening 'war if the Turks interfered with the Nazi occupation of Bulgaria, it can be revealed today. Proof that the ultimatum was handed to the Turks just before the German march into Bulgaria in March, 1941, has been obtained by this correspondent from an authentic German source. It points up vividly the doubleedged power diplomacy used by the Nazis when their armies were overrunning Europe and neutral states lived in continual fear of attack. The United Press informant disclosed that Hitler, when he sent his troops into Bulgaria on March 2 —with King Boris’ permission — w»s fully prepared to war on Turkey if the Turks made a hostile move. But Hitler operated deviously. He himself wrote honeyed letters to Turkish government leaders and held out glowing promises of post-war German favors if they would remain neutral or throw in with him. At the same time, his foreign minister, Joachim Von Ribbentrop, rushed secret orders to Ambassador Franz Von Papen in Ankara telling him that the occupation of Bulgaria was imminent and that the Turks were to be silenced at all costs. Bulgaria signed the tripartite pact on March 1. and on the following day King Boris threw open his borders to the Germans. Im- ’ mediately, Turkey became the critical country for both the Axis and the Allies. Britain dispatched foreign secretary Anthony Eden to Ankara on a special mission, while Vop Papen redoubled his pressure on the Turks. Ribbentrop already had dispatched a confidential telegram to Von Papen directing him to Inform the Turks privately that Germany was ready to go to war against them if necessary to seal her conquest of southeastern Europe. Ribbentrop advised his envoy that Bulgaria was aboEt to notify the Turkish government that the German’s had given Assurances the move was not aimed at Turkey.

Ribbentrop suggested that Van Papen made it clear to the Turks that Germany had ample troops in the Ballfans "to destroy any possible opponent with lightning speed.’’ "In addition, you can show that, by observing strict neutrality in connection with the coining development, the old GermanTurkish friendship can be restored fully, while involvement in w|ar automatically would brin| danger of total destruction of the Turkish state," his telegram said. ——— - —o ——— " ■ Jap Suicide Plane Attacks Minimized Only One Percent Os Raids Effective San Diego, Calif., June 29.—(UP) —Vice Ad ml. Marc A. Mitscher said today that Japanese suicide attacks were only about one per cent effective. Mitscher left the aircraft carrier Bunker Hill only after two suicide planes blasted her into a mass of charred wreckage and established his headquarters on an unnamed second carrier. Three days later, the naval commander revealed, a flaming Japanese plane, shot down by the ship’s anti-aircraft guns, crashed into the second carrier, engulfing it in flames and destroying the admiral’s quarters. “They always get the admiral’s quarters,” Mitscher said. lie moved to a third carrier, where he remained until returning to ills home here. Mitscher said he thought Americans were making too much of storiee of kamikaze attacks on U. S. warships. While the Japanese get through one per cent of the time, he said, American dive bombers get through 90 per cent of the time—and get back. o Mattoon Gradually Returns To Normal Only One Restaurant In City Now Closed Mattoon, 111., June 29 —(UP) — Life in general was almost back to complete normalcy in Mattoon today after a hectic week of | shortages in food and transporta-1 tion. Earlier this week all 20 of 1 the major restaurants in the city , were closed because of food j shortages. All but one had re- ! opened today. The establishment still closed ' is the Cupboard Restaurant which , is being redecorated and will.i open next week. After investigation of the situation, the Springfield district ; OPA office ordered shipment of | two beef carcasses from a Chicago packing plant. This meat ' was served in a canteen for war workers and others who take their meals “out.” Restaurants and meat markets were given increased meat supplies. Mayor George Washington | Smith said today that the food problem is apparently solved. The only remaining difficulty is tiaUspui lation and he hopes that will solve itself tomorrow. Mattoon was without taxi service for three days. Bruce Leonard. who operates a fleet of 15 cabs, had them all in the garage because he had run out of gas ration stamps. Partial service was resumed with two cabs yesterday. Tomorrow a new set of gasoline coupons will become valid and Leonard hopes to resume normal operation. o License Matches Age DuQoin, Ill.—(UP)— Every year rc.-e George F. Winn reached SO, tne Illinois Secretary of State lias issued him an automobile license duplicating his age. He received his new plates recently—numbered 94.

13th Durham Plant Employe Is Indicted Line Foreman Named In Jury Indictment Fort Wayne. Ind., June 29 — (UP)—Alex M. Campbell. U. S. district attorney announced late yesterday that the U. S. grand jury meeting at Hammond earlier in the week returned an indictment naming a 13th Durham Manufacturing Corp, employe, Earl Paul Getz of Fort Wayne, on charges of defrauding the government by assisting in the manufacture of defective war materials. Getz is foreman of the projectile line and has been employed at the plant for approximately three years. He posted bond for SI,OOO and the date of his arraignment has not been set. The corporation and 12 other employes were indicted May 23 and all have entered pleas of not guilty. District attorney Campbell and assistant attorney Henry Fackett, of the Hammond division of federal court, left last night for Washington to confer with U. S. attorney Tom Clark and John Darcey of the war frauds division of the department of justice, relative to the Durham case. o ; The American Aberdeen-Angus Breeders’ Assn, had 8,802 members as of Jan. 1, 1945. This was more than twice the number of members listed on Jan. 1, 1941. o 3,OOOTONS (Continued From Page One) ready had begun, the Japanese said that the main weight of industrial production in Manchuria already had been turned to the output of weapons, Tokyo hinted at a swelling tide i of resistance in occupied territories !on the continent. A broadcast conceded that “lack of political coordination” had hampered Japanese efforts there. Other broadcasts admitted dam,age to major installations in the ; latest bombardment of Japan, but said the resulting fires were brought under control this morning. Other developments in the Pacific war included: 1. Japanese home minister Genki Abe announced that the evacua- | tion of children, pregnant women I and the aged from important cities | was being speeded in anticipation of an American invasion of the I homeland. 2. Radio Tokyo reported the j deaths of four more admirals—vice 1 Advirals Jooji Nishimura aud Yo- ) shio Suzuki and rear Admirals Yu- ! shiro Wada and Kenei Ando—with- . out elaboration. 3. Tokyo said an Allied submaI riue had appeared off the Japanese ! Pacific coast and had been sunk I by a Japanese plane. 4. A Pacific fleet communique announced that American army, navy aud marine planes sang or damaged 23 Japanese ships and small craft in Ryukytjs and Korean waters Wednesday and Thursday. 5. A London broadcast said France will place an expeditionary force of 11 divisions, including the veteran 13th armored, under famed Gen. Jacques Le Clerc at the disposition of the American Pacific command. EXPECT HOUSE (Continued From Page One) port Rep. Clarence E. Hancock of New York, ranking GOP member of the judiciary committee, said there would be at least some critical observations from the minority side. Hancock said the bill had been ■ brought before the house “prematurely” without hearings by the judiciary committee and that “serious constitutional questions” had been 1 raised. He suggested that speedy house ' action would contrast with the long

debates which preceded enactment of the 1886 law. One constitutional issue in the bill involves the question of whether the speaker is an "officer” of the government. The constitution stipulates that the line of succession must pass to oifleers” of the government. Hancock said he also doubted the cdustitutlonftlity of a provision in the Sumners' bill calling tor a special presidential election if both the President and vice president were removed through death or disqualification more than 90 days before an "off-year” congressional election. Stunners' bill would provide for the selection of a president at that election to fill the two-year unexpired term. It was understood an amendment would be offered to strike the provision from the bill. One Senate objection to the measure has been based on the possibility that the Republicans might win control of the house in 1947 and elect a Republican speaker who would be next in line for the presidency. Some Democratic senators also have been cool to the measure because they expected James F. Byrnes to be nominated for secretary of state. They wanted to retain the present law so he would be Mr. Truman's potential successor. _ o UNITED STATES (Continued From Page One) essity of learning that it must “live with the world as a whole, and not by itself.” The President sends the. charter to the Senate Monday, the same day he nominates a new secretary of state, and he was expected to accompany the charter with a message along the lines of the talk he had with his homefolks last night. The President still is undecided whether to deliver the charter in person. The President may talk over the international situation today when he meets Landon in a Muehlbach hotel suite at 4 p.m. (CWT). The formal part of Mr. Truman’s homecoming was over. He will return to Washington Sunday aud in the meantime, planned to spend part of each day at his federal building office here, and the rest of the time visiting with friends and members of his family in nearby Independence.
