year. But man is too greedy to do
that. And so our land is worn out
and depleted, and natural good foods
such as carrots, beets, and turnips are
lacking in the necessary mineral ele–
ments and vitamins! And drug com–
panies get rich selling vitamin pi lis!
Whose intelligence is higher -
that of the Goo who provided every
perfect need for every living thing
or that of greedy, gullible, God–
rejecting humans who in the interest
of bigger profits and more luxuries
for themselves have ROBBED the very
foods which God created and gave
us, of their health- and body-building
values?
"There Was No Watchmaker"
A number of years ago
I
needed
an accurate watch with a very plain
dial for timing broadcasts. The only
kind that filled the need was a rail–
road watch.
I
have one - the very
finest railroad watch made, a 23-jewel
watch.
But it does not keep perfect time.
Once or twice a week J have to adjust
it a second or two,
ii
I
want to be
sure it is accurate to the second.
I
used to set it by the master dock of
my city, or any city, which is always
found at the Westem Union. But
even this dock did not keep perfect
time. Once or twice a week it had to
be adjusted a second or two by the
master dock of the nation, at the
Naval Observatory, Washington, D.
C.
But this great master dock of the
United States is not perfect, either.
Occasional corrections must be intw–
duced.
Yes, it is corrected by the MASTER
CLOCK OF THE UNIVERSE - in the
skies. There in the heavens is the
great Master Clock - its hands the
heavenly bodies coursing through the
ski
es!
Now you, sir!
If
1 show you
my
fine precision 23-jewel railroad watch
and tell you that it was not made in
a factory - in fact, it was not de–
signed, planned, put together, by a
watchmaker - that it just sort of
HAPPENED - that the iron ores just

brought themselves up out of the
ground, refined themselves, formed
and shaped themselves into the deli–
cate little wheels and other pieces;
the si licon and oxygen just came of
its own accord out of the earth and
turned itself into the glass crystal; the
gold case just refined itself, shaped
itself; the cogs and seores of little
parts just assembled themselves to–
gether in that case, wound themselves
up, and started themselves to running
and keeping almost perfect time -
well, if
I
should try to tell you any–
thing like that, you'd tell me l'm
crazy or a fool, would you not?
Certainly! You
know
that the pres–
ence of that watch is RATIONAL
ANO
POSlTIVE PROOF of the existence of
a watchmaker, or watchmakers, who
thought it all out, planned it, formed
it, shaped it, put it together, and
started it running.
Master Clock of the Universe
But then you, Mr. Skeptic - you
look up into the great vast sky at that
MASTER CLOCK of the universe, the
watch by which we must constantly
reset all our imperfect man-made
watches - and you tell me, "That
all just HAPPENED! There was no
Great Watchmaker! No Master

thought out and
plauned
that vast
universe, brought it into being, set
each star and planet in its own exact
place, and started the myriad heavenly
bodies coursing through space, each
in its pcescribed orbit, in its orderly
precision. No, it just fashioned itself,
put itself together, wound itseJf up,
and started itself running. There was
no intelligence - no planning - NO
Goo!"
Do you say that to me?
If
you can,

I
