INTBOOUCTIO.'.- This chapter stands as the frontispiece to the great his- torical section of the Old Testament, which extends from Genesis to -, Kings, and which traces the story of 1 Israel from the earliest times to ths exile. It is not by accident that 'he chapter occupies this, position. It is designed to show thit God, who pre- sides over the fortunes of men and the destiries c-f r_&tior.?. also controls the forces of nature. Since he mad* th material world, its resources are at his disposal, to fu.ri'. his purpose with men. Thus the aim of the chapter is religious rather than scientific. It -omes from & pre->cientific age. and it^ is obviously unfair to treat it as an i authority or. questions raised by mo<l- j ern science. The point of paramount' importance is that God stands behind the whole movement of the material' forces of the world, and espressos' himself in thcrr.. I. THE HtELVDE Of CREATION, vs. 1, 2. V. 1. Nothing could be more im- pressive thar. the simple statement t:.at the universe- i which the Hebrews called "the heavens -nd the earth") i came irto existence, not by blind chance, but by th? deiibarate purpose' and the creative activity of God. Tlv;re i was a time, "in the beginning," when i-iod was, and the world was not. '"Be- hind creation is a Person," says >k- Fadyen. That is the claim of reli- jrion. and faith h?Us stubbornly to that conviction. V. 1. This verse is . parenthesis. describing the condition of the world prior to creation. Chaos and desola-! tion orevailec. The >arth was cover- j J with a welter of raging water*, and j ail was shrouded with darkness. The sv-vereign power c." God is all the nior > i wonderful ir. that he quelled this <*on-| fusion and turned it into an orderly , ard productive world. TI. THE BEGINNING OF CREATION, vs. "- 5. Light was the rtrst creation. Befor.- there was light the -vorld was lifelesj ind chaotic; without light ther* vou'd be no life and r.o order. In each in- stcnce creation proceeds by God utter- ing his word, wirier. U immediately fulfilled. His word is the expression >t' his will: and his will is the one power in all the universe which can- r.ot be frustrated, but gets itself ful- t.lled. Just AS sr. artist stands aside and looks at his finished work, so God eurv-'V* the first caw \ of the world'.' light. He pronounces it "good." tha: I*, for the er.d it is t^> serve. A sira;- Isr pronouncement is made after each . r eation. Since it come* from God's (.anils the we rid. with all its marvels and beauties, is good, and should be *o accepted by i en. Thus all pessi;.i- Ism and dejpai. is rul d out. The (in- dents thought t'nut a thing did not really exist until it received its name. Therefore God. as th? Creator, right- ly claimed the prerojfative of bestow- inr the nanv upon the light and upon] all succeeding creations. lit. THK CUMV\ OK CREATION. v<. 'J' 31. The crea;:on f man is described ! more fully thar. the preceding acts of creatiot because he is the crowning work of God. The human personality u to be the greatest feature in the! universe: before him the sun and stars | pale into insigr.inca ice. This being s>:., God addresses the whole council of heaven (see Job 1: 6) and declares his -ntention of creating him. savins, "l*t us make ::-.." Man's nature is described ir. its God-ward asp<ect: he is made in the image of God. Whst- ever else this means, it refers at least to a resemblance which man bears to God. This imp'.ios capacity for God which the brute creation does not aham. Further, the nature of man is described as social, for God created him wale, and female. The instinct which leads rrar. and woman together to form the family is good, because it has been oruair.eu and blessed by UV.. Then also the r-^rpose of man in the world is show:-.. He is to "replenish th* earth and subdue it and have do- minion" over the animal kingdom and the. realm of inanimate things. Her* is the original charter of human civi!- itation. Just as nun is under God. to tK< lowo" >>ation is unJer man. who is to be creatively active with God. Thus man ia a iteward. entrust- ed with the care of God's earthly (.state, and he is so to serve in the world as to bring out its finest possi- bilities. Finally (vs. 29. 30) God provides sustenance for man and beast _:- man, grains and fruit, and for the beasts, wild grasses. The suggestion is that since man waa not yet carniveroua, there was, in the goiden dawn of the v.-orid, a beautiful league of peace between man and the animals.

Air Line Corporation for air mail and passenger service between Detroit and Copenhagen via Iceland had b*er. passed by parliament. The bill authorized th* corporation to build radio facilities and other con- cessionaries which would be exempt from inconw and pr perty taxw as well as import duties on building ma- terials for the first five years. It was further stipulated the com- pany would pay a five pwr cent, gross income tax or. all air traffic over Ice- land. Th concession was to extend for a period of 75 years, and one condi- tion was that for the first 15 year no other American company can be granted a similar concession.
