THE PLATTSMOUTH, NEBRASKA, SEMI-WEEKLY JOURNAL PAGE TWO Section B Thursday, May 3, 1951 KEV. ROBERT II. HARPER The Creation Gentsis 1: 1-5, 26-31 Memory Selection: Psalms 104: 24 IN THE FIRST LESSON of th second quarter we study crea tion, as we learn of it through the book of Genesis. The first sentence of the first chapter of Genesis is very impressive. A great preach 'er once said to the present writer .that if a man can believe the first verse of the Bible he can believe anything in it. That God was in the beginning is certainly the one great and indispensable fact of the universe and of human exist ence. We are accustomed to the thought of chaos as prevailing in the be ginning. But see how quickly God brought order out of chaos, creat ed the light, appointed day and night, gathered the waters togeth er into seas, clothed the earth with life and beauty and set the cease less round of seedtime and har vest, created all the breathing things, and then made man to have dominion over all things. Wt cannot know the exact signifi cance of being made in the image of God and after his likeness, but we can certainly realize our one ness with God and be assured that we can trace the quivering thread of human life back through the ages, not to a miscroscopic cell in primordial slime, but to the living God. We can all claim a place in the genealogy that approaches its end with Seth "which was the son of Adam, which was the son of God." So let us look upon our selves with a new appreciation as we realize our kingship through kinship with God the Father.

The Lesson-Sermon also in cludes the following passage from the Christian Science text book, "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" by Mary Baker Eddy, "It is error to suf fer for aught but your own sins.
