THE CHURCH AND MAN'S ORIGIN 2OI 



in accord it is with the position that man and 

 woman occupy! To conclude with another Scrip- 

 ture version from the scholar last quoted, we can 

 best picture for ourselves the first man standing 

 lordly in the midst of God's creation, as we re- 

 peat the Psalmist's noble words: 



And yet Thou hast made him little less than the angels; 



With glory and honor Thou crownest him, 



And yet Thou hast made him to rule o'er Thy handiwork; 



All things hast Thou set under his feet: 



Sheep and oxen, all of them, 



Yes, and the beasts of the wild, 



The fowl of the air, and the fish of the sea, 



That which passes the paths of the sea. 8 



"Psalm VIII :6- 9 .
