peace, and THE SOLUTION of all our
problems - and there is NO OTHER!
Mankind has sought other answers
and solutions for thousands of years
- and has found NONE!
This
is
the inciden! of the " forbid–
den fruit."
The Eterna] God had created a
man and woman. Here were two
humans with
adult human minds
-
perfect human minds - capable of
adult thinking and reasoning -
but
as yet unfilled with knowledge.
Had
they been animals, they
would have needed no
instruction. Animals
come equipped with in–
stinct. But human action
must be directed by tbe
thinking and volition of
the human mind. Our
fust parents, without
knowledge, were help–
less. So the divine Cre–
ator sat clown with them
and began lO inslruct
them - to impart to
lhem the basic necessary
knowledge.
He instructed them in
THE WAY that wouJd
CAUSE peace, prosperity,
happiness, and in the
end ETERNAL LIFE. That
WAY constitutes a SPIRI·
TUAL LAW. [t
ÍS
THE WAY
of "give," and the viola–
tion of that LAw is the
way of "get." More ex–
plicitly, that LAw is the
way of LOVE - and
"]ove" is an outgoing
concern for the welfare
and good of o thers, equal to self–
concern. ll is lhe principie and atti–
tude of giving, sharing, cooperating,
of consideration and kindness. Its
violation is the way of SELF-concern
- of vanity, lust and greed, of jeal–
ousy, envy, hatred - of competition,
violence, WAR.
There were two very special trees
in the midst of the garden where our
first parents had been placed. The
one, obedience to this law of LOVE,
was the "tree of LIFE" - the other
was the tree of "the knowledge of

good and evil." To take of that tree
was to take to themselves the knowl–
edge - the ascertaining or produc–
ing of the knowledge - of what is
good and what is evil - what is right
and what is wrong.
Then after this instruction by the
Creator, along carne Satan, sym–
bolized by the serpent. "How can
you believe God?" he asked. "You
will not surely die
if
you disobey
God - you're an immortal soul."
"After all," Mother Eve reasoned,
wrong. Man does what seems right
in bis own eyes. Mankind has re–
jected revelation.
But ONLY REVELATION can impart
to us the knowledge of wHAT we
are,
WHY we are, WHERE we are go–
ing, HOW to get there, WHAT are the
true values, and WHAT is the WAY
that wouJd CAUSE PEACE!
Man has chosen tbe SELF-CEN·
TERED WAY! That
ÍS
the CAUSE of all
these ills and evils that fill our un–
happy world.
You may believe this,
or disbelieve. There is no
other explanation - no

other solution.
Now what of the com–
paratively immediate
FUTURE?
Man has DEMON–
STRATED that he cannot
rule himself. UNLESS
there exists this divine
Creator of ALL POWER -
the God of LOVE - who
will now soon step in and
intervene, and take the
goveming OUT OF THE
HANDS OF MANKIND. and
govern ALL NATIONS with
his almighty divine
POWER, humaníty would
SOOD
DESTROY ITSELF -
erase all human life from
earth! But the Creator
whom l serve WILL soon
intervene and do just
that. Mankind will resist.
Mankind will FIGHT
against ít, but God will
save us from ourselves -
and enforce the LAWS of
~~~-Their
Rights?

So she reached out and TOOK to
herself the knowledge of what is
good and what is evil. In that first
"scientific experiment" she rejected
REVELATION from her Creator as the
source of basic knowledge. Result of
that experiment - they both died!
But all humanity has foiJowed
their exarnple ever since! What one
thinks is right, another thinks is
THE KINGDOM OF Goo, ruling all
nations - FORCING all mankind lO
enjoy PEACE, UNIVERSAL prosperity,
happiness, and with the offer of
eter–
na! lije
available to all!
That was my message to that
small but distinguished gathering.
And
that
was the gospel of Jesus
Christ - the gospel of the Kingdom
of God! Whether it is believed or
not , my job
is
to ANNOUNCE (or pro–
claim) it. But there
was
an enthusi–
astic applause and verbal
response. O
