CUNDAV-^ ^chooiesson LESSON 1 God the Creator â€" GencGis 1 : 1â€"2:25 Printed Text â€" Genesis 1:1-5, 26-31 Golden Text â€" "In the beginning God created the heaven* and the earth." Gener.i 1:1. The LcBson In Its Soiling TIraa â€" It Ih not l<iiowu when the universe was created, nor Is It defin- itely known when man was created. However long ago the cieatlon of the universe, the creation of man did not take place before 5000 11. C. though the exact year of this will prol)ably never be ktiown. All ancient histories re- coffni;-.e that there are no records of human civilization antedating 4000 to 5000 B.B. Place â€" There have been innumer- able conjectures as to the location of the Garden of bJden, but, thus far, none of them have been generally ac- cepted by the Bible Bcholars; all we can say ia that it was probably locat- ed somewhere near the lower part of the Tigris and the Euphrates rivers. "In the beginning GoU created the heavens and the earth." There wa.s BO matter before the l-eginning, nor any planet in the heavens, nor any angel or created being. God w;ls before any thing, or any cre- ated j)erson. Every thing that is in tl)o univor.sc today has come from 1 t ;is :iny- thing before God, it might be that power or person could ultimately crush God, but, if all things have been made by God, then surely God is greater than all the universe, and, if his power is great enough to create, it h also .sufficient to con- trol it God had no beginning. He â- wan fr»tn eternity. "And the earth was waste and void." (See Jer. 4:23 and Isa. 34: 11.) The word v,'aste refers to the matter, and void to the form, and tho ptorase combining the two de- nd'os a state of utter confusion and Aetolation, an absence of all thnt wan furnish or people the land. Ami darkness was upon the face of the deep." The conjunction m- diiates that the darkness is con- nected with the (li.sorder of the pre- vjo IS phrase, and forms a part of thi physical dearangcmcnt; the deep refers, of coui-se, to the sea (Gen. 7:11; 8:2; Isra. 51:10, etc) "And the Spirit of God moved upon the fac <if the waters." Here is the beginninfr of God's work in the res- toration of that which has become chaotic. What the Holy Spirit be- gan to do with the chaotic condi- tiiiii, bringing out of it the beauty of a now earth, he also has been sent to di) in the human heart, bringing cui of its L'haos, due to sin, a new life, boftutiful and orderly, like that of t' e Lord .Jesu.s Christ. , "An<i God said, Let there be light: • nd there was light. Simply for God to utter his word brings into cxist- enct' whatever God wills (John 1: 1-3; Hph. 3:1), Col. 1:1G). The fact thi • God creates by a word is an indication not only of the ease with wliich he accomplished his work, and of his omnipresence, but also of the fact fliat ho works cv>nsciousIy and deliberately. ".\nd God s.-iw Ihi- light, that it w;i.s good." That is, he examined and judged the newly finished product, investigated its npture and its prop- eitie.-', admired its excellency, and, in all these respects, he pronounced good. "And (Jod divided the light from the darkness." Thus God al- lows darkness still to exist, but never again to become dominant. And God called the light Day, and th.' darkness he railed Night." The first word which we have in the liible an proceeding from (iod is the wold Jay. \V<', as followers of the Lord Je«us, are to walk honestly in the day (Uoni. 13:13); we are the children of the day, not of the night. {I Tboss. r>:5. "And there was ev- ening and there was morning, one day." It is significant that, a.s in the Genesis account of creation, light appeared on the first day, so in the new (Tcation wliic'h we have in Jesus Christ, the Lord came forth from the daiknoKM of the grave and death on the first day of the new week in the morning of the resurrection (Matt. 28:1; Mark 1(!:2; John 20:1, 19). ".And fJod said, Let us make man in our iniMgc, after our likeness." The (Aural pronoun "us" certainly indicates that (iod took counsel with at least one other in this su- preme, final work of creation, and we can believe he took i-aunsel with no cr-^c:;:. hut with the oilier two jier.sonB of the (iodhead, the Son and the Holy Ghost. This is the only place in all the six d.iys of creation concerning wliich we have n record of such a council; three times in the n^rrntive of man's origin do we have the v.ord create, both facts c!r;'!:asi:'.!n;( tl'o preeminent signi- ' â- '' 'ular !i'-.i)ei t of creation above all preceding ones. "And let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the liirds of the heavens, and over the catllc, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth." ".Xnd God created man in his ov.n ii«:'.i.,e, in the image of Go J created i.e liim; male and female created he them. Man lost perfeft dominion over the creatures when he fell in sin; thous- ands of men and women every year are destroyed by the animal crea- tion, especially in countries where gospel is not known, such as India and Africa. Dominion over the crea- tures will be restored to man during the Millennium (see Isa. 11:6-9). "And God blessed them; and God -said unto them, De fruitful, and mul- tiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it, and have a dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the birds of the heavens and over every living thing that movcth upon the earth. And God said. Behold, I have given you every herb, yielding seed, which is upon the face of the earth, and every tree, in which i.^ the fruit of a tree yielding seed; to you it shall be for 'ood. And to every beast of the earth, and to every bird of the heavens, and to everything that creepeth upcji the earth, wherein there is life, I have given every green her for food; and it was so. Four things are to be discovered here: the Creator bestows a general ble.ss- nig upon the newly created pair, our first parents; he commands them to be fruitful and multiply that they might replenish the earth and bring it into perfect subjection; he gave them full dominion over all crea- tures beneath them; the Creator gave them herbs and trees for food. It would seem that originally man's diet was exclusively a vegetable one. It is not recorded that man ate the flesh of animals until after the flood. "And God saw everything that he had made, and, behold, it was very good. And there was evening, and there was morning, the sixth day. Perhaps here we might just add a word about the meaning of the word day in the creation narrative. Many believe that this word, as used in the first chapter of Genesis, must meant a period of twenty-four hours. Others believe that it was used to indicate a long of period of time, perhaps geologic ages. We must re- member that the word day has dif- ferent meanings in different places and does not always mean a period of twenty-four hours; thus in Gen- esis, 1 :5, it means only that part of a period of twenty-four hours in which the light shine?; yet again, in the very same verse, lioth the morn- ing and the evening are called one day. Again, in Genesis 2:4, the phrase the day refers to the entire period of creation. El.scwhere in the IJible the same phrase is used to in- dicate various periods of lime (John G:39, 41, 54; Kom. 8:19-28).

BELL with the co-operalion of the vario'.i> department* of Ontario Agricultural College Question 1: â€" ''How can I tell what analysis of fertilizer Is most auiluble for my farm? The most of It is heavy clay soil. What would be suit- able to put on Old Meadow?'' â€" G. Q., Perth County. Answer:â€" The only way you can obtain fairly doflnlte Information as to llie tcrtili/.er mixture that is most Huitable for your soils, is tor you to send a suniplo of the soils to the He- partmonl ot Chemistry, O.A.C, fliielph Out., where by rapid methods we can tost these soU-s far aclility and mill- «M-al content. Samples of soil shouUI be taken at about plow depth from a number of places in the field. Mix these samiih s together and send about V-i pint of the mixed nuiterlal for an- alysis. This is beat sent in a colloii bag. For Old Meadows, experiments have laigely shown that "50 lbs. ot :!10-5 or 412-6 have giv(>n best re- sults. This fertilizer should he ap- plied broadcast over tho meadow as soon as growtlj begins in the spring. Question 2. â€" ''I had Intended to buy 20';;, Phoaphatc and mix Muriate of Potash togetlier without tiller, and sow thinner. I would like (o know whether you think this will work sat- isfactorily or not. In case 1 want to add 2'p nitrogen to it what material would you use, such as nitrate of soda and sulphate of ammonia? How would you mix a good digest- able mineral that is high in Phos- phorus and C'alcium? Would steamed lione meal be alright to use if? â€" S. A., Hruco County. Answer: â€" I would say that a mix- ture of 20""^ Pho.si)hate and Muriate of Potash can bo made for sowing as you Indicate. You do not say in what quantifies you plan to mix these, l)ut I see no reason why the mixture should not give results. The big point is to get it on evenly, which means that great care must be taken in the first place in tho mixing ot the phosphate and potash so that each pound, or gallon, will carry an equal proi>ortion of plant nclrients. It you wish to add 2''o nitrogen, you would have to add 200 lbs. ot Sulphate of Ammonia, or 2G7 lbs. of Nitrate ot Soda to the ton. For a good digeslihln mineral mix- ture high in iihosphorus and ralchini, probably nothing supersedes steamed bone meal. This is good healthy bone, cooked with steam under pressure. This practically removes all the pro- tein and fat from the bone, and the bone is then dried and ground Into fine white powder, and should be almost free of odor. Fertilizer bone meal should not bo used for stock feeding. since in preparing fertilizer bone meal the meat Is boiled under ordinary con- ditions to let loose the flesh from the bone. This does not kill disease germs as thoroughly as where the material Is cooked under steam pres- sure. Some stock men advise tho adding ot a small amount of Iron Salt aad Iodized Salt. Question 3:â€" "Does Nitrate of Soda work more rapidly than Sulphate ot Ammonia? Which one of the two Is most satisfactory for spring crop?'' â€" E. G. L.. Grey County. Answer:â€" Nitrate of Soda supplies nitrogen In a form that is Immedi- ately usable by crops. Nitrate of Soda Is immediately soluble In soil mixture. Sulphate ot Ammonia ia likewise immediately soluble, but in very large part, tho nitrogen supplied in Sulphate of Ammonia must under- go change in the soil to the nitrate form Jg'fore It can be used by grow- ing crops. Hence, its action has to wait for bacterial growth in the soil. It ii therefore a little slower than Nitrate of Soda. Sulphate of Ammonia leaves an acid reaction. If your soil is already acid. Sulphate of .\nnnonia will add to this trouble. Nitrate ot Soda is neutral In reaction. BUY 'PEG PLAYER Wir.teihavon.
