Some will take it pretty literally, others will read the early chapters in it as picture-stories, parables in half poetic form. All readers, it is hoped, can agree on one point: that whether we take these stories literally or as para-

Dr. Foreman

bles, the meaning is the same in any case. We do not have to go grubbing in obscure corners for the meanings and messages of Genesis. The book was not written for people with complicated

minds. The meanings it conveyv are on the surface, 01 so near M that the simplest readers can sea them. Thu Earth Is Mat's Hemu From the second story of creation which we find in Genesis, it chapter 2, the story which concentrates on man himself, we cat select some outstanding impressions which the story makes, and no doubt was intended to make. First of all. this earth is the home of man. That is its principal use. Man came late to the planet; God made us laht. We did not make our appearance here till all was ready for us. Some thinkers have thought of man as a sort of homeless creature, dropped into this earth almost by accident, fitting in nowhere. Quite the contrary; man might be lonely and restless on some far galaxy, but not on this green earth. Man, furthermore, being at the top of the ladder of creation, is master of this planet. This does not mean he is master of the universe. It may be discovered some day, as the sciencefiction boys have already suggested, that men may some day find themselves on another planet, but as intruders, only to be thrown <R)t or destroyed. But on this earth man has a right to live, and to achieve mastery. In Genesis I (where the horizon is wider than in Gen. 2f man is told: Replenish the earth and subdue it. Man, in short, is to work together with God in bringing order and completeness to the planet which is his rightful home. Top of Creation Let us pursue that thought about the top of creation a little further. This story in Genesis presents man as made from dust, and all other living things, both plants and beasts and birds, are likewise sprung from the dust by the power of God. Man has a kind of kinship with all of life, and therefore, as Albert Schweitzer has said, must have a reverence for life. Man cannot give life to himself nor to any other creature; and should be very slow about taking life of any sort. Nevertheless it is much nearer the truth to say that the creation is made for man. than that man is made for the rest of creation. Not that God intends everything in the world t« be used. It is an interesting point that the trees of Eden are not all good for food; some of them are' simply beautiful to see. The beauty of the world, sometimes its useless beauty (like a sunset) is for man alone, just as its usefulness—sometimes its unbeautiful usefulness—is appreciated best by man alone. Only man can heat the arctic and cool the tropics; only man can bring his foods fro:j the ends of the earth. “On* Man Is No Man” The Greeks had‘a slogan: One man is no man, meaning 'hat we each need the help and companionship s>i others to live at all, as human beings. The story of the first man as told in Genesis illustrates this in a moving way. God sees that this man is incomplete, though he is set in the midst of great beauty and has work to occupy mind and hands. So God produces all the other animals; but man can only talk about them, not with them. So at last another human being is made. Before, there was only a man alone; now there is a human race. This *s not science, not intended to be; but it is a profound truth. Man is made for community. Without it, sinks to the brutes’ level. In community a man becomes human. And yet if the only companionship man finds is human, he has still missed Ms destiny. For man was made for fellowship, above all, with God. Only as friend of God can man become what God intended’ him to be. (B*«e< aa aaUlaei eapyrlthteb by the Division of Christian ESeeatlsn. Nattoaal Coaacll of the Charehes of Christ la the U. S. A.

Witnesses For The Bible Rev. J. R. Meadows Shortly before he died, Patrick, laying his hand on Bible, said: “Here is a book worth more than all others, yet it is my misfortune never to have read it, until lately, with proper attention.” With voice and gesture, pertinent, and all his own, John Randolph said: “A terrible proof of our depravity is that we can relish and member anything better than Die Book.” When the shades of death were gathering around Sir Walter Scott, remember anything better than The Book.” “What book?” asked Lockhart, his son-in-law. “There is but one book," said the dying man, and the Bible was brought to him.
