GOD AND MAN 



"!N the Beginning GOD created the heavens and 

 the earth." After looking upon the works of cre- 

 ation, and seeing that they were good, he then 

 created Man in His Own image, giving him 

 dominion over the land and the sea and over every 

 living thing therein. 



Man was created as an intelligent being, and 

 provided by an allwise Creator with all things 

 needful wherewith to carve out his own destiny. 

 The fertile soil, the minerals that lay beneath, 

 "the cattle upon a thousand hills," a varied and 

 wonderful plant and animal life, and all this for 

 what purpose? 



In the words of the famous; poet, Henry Wads- 

 worth Longfellow: 



"Life is real, life is earnest 



And the grave is not its goal." 



Since the Creation, God! and Man have been work- 

 ing together in a partnership as it were. Man was 

 not given a perfected world and a life of ease, 

 but he was given all the tools needed wherewith 

 himself to work toward perfection; making it pos- 

 sible for him to attain success in his own field, 

 and through his own efforts.
