O
F COURSE,
1
know many do not
even believe Ood exists. But just
suppose - and suppose that
)'OU.
yoursclf were Ood the Creator.
You had created
a
perfect and beautiful
earth. You put mankind upon it. You
gave the earth rich soil to raise food aod
beautiful trees, plants aod llowers. lo
the eartb you had stored other wealth -
gold,
silver,
iton,
the other metal$,
ooaJ.
oil.
You gave it rivers and lakes witb
fresh, clear, sparkling water. You gave it
fresh, dean, pure air for mankind. ani·
mals
and plant life to breathe. You gave
it adequate forests, both for lurober and
to capse abuodant necessary rainfaU.
You gave the mankiod you pul bere
everything
oooo,
for his health,
bis
needs, prosperity if he would properly
use all you bad put at his disposal, for
bis pleasure.
You gave bim
a
miracle-working
MINO
with superior intelligence. You
made him so that bis efficient
M1NO
would direct hiS every move and act - a
mind that
would improve
with
proper
use.
You made bim so that it was ne<:es·
sary
that he leam or
be
taught
EVERY·
TRINO -
even bow to walk, run or sit.
And you started from the instant of bis
creation to reveal to him needed basic
knowledge for bis guidance. his welfare,
bis
protectioo, his bappiness and
com–
plete well-being. You intended for him
to
USE
this wonderful
earth
you gave
-him-
to preserve
i~
improve it, and
worl<. it for his
good
and needs.
Being Ood. you not only are creator.
You
aJso
are ruler over your creation,
and it is your policy to preserve what
you create by your
OOVERNMENT.
You also are educator and revealer of
necessary basic
KNOWLEOOE
which man
can
never discover or produce of
him·
self. So you stan from the instant of. his
existence to teach the first man and
woman that basic necessary l<.nowledge.
And you give this first man the opponu–
nity to be the
K!NO
of the earth, over
those wbo sball populate tbis b<oautiful,
wonderful eartb by the reproductive
procéss.
Of course you ha
ve
put wi thin these
buroans your own very irnage and like·
ness, powers of thought, reasoning. and
the making of decisions - else they.
could bave no individualiry, personality,
or character.
But, alas! You find thal
this
first pair
ofhumans doesn't believe wbat you say,

they are going - tbeir incred1ble awe–
some human
POTENTIAL.
Thcy decide to
take lO themselves the
KNOWLEOOE
of
what is good and what is evil. They
Oatly disobeyed you and refuscd
10
obey
the laws of your
GOVERNMENT,
le! alone
accept tbe rulership of administering
that world governmeot.
So JCOU adopt a "baods-oll' ' poucy for
6,000
years. You leave them lO the pro–
duction of their own knowledge. You
tum tbem over to working out their own
form of government. making thetr own
laws to regulate theír own man-made
socícty. You allow
a
self-ceotered nature
to enter thdr
minds -
a nature of van·
ity. lust and greed, of jealousy, cnvy.
and hatred of others, ofcompetition and
strife. And now, thc
6,000
years are
about up.
You look down from your tbrone of
the universe in beaven to
see
wbat the
members of the human cace bave done
witb tbeir minds, tbe.r powers of
thought. and especíaUy this wonderful
earth that you gave them.

wonder how it looks,
as
scen through
HIS
eyes?
Let me tell you sorne of the things
tbat have indelibly impressed them·
selves on my rnind.
For tbousands of years thJS was
a
multi-divided world.
h
had come to be
inhabited by many races from many
mixtures of liitermarrying from three
original caces. But b.ere were hundreds
and hundrcds of different peoples,
speaking their hundreds of different lan–
guages, each with its own eountry or
area and language-dialect.
For lhousands of years bumanity
driOed along on vinually
an
even ked.
There was tittle or no communication
between individual areas
beca
use of the
laoguage barrier and
lack
of rapid
trans–
ponation or instant communication.

HOW
•oto
YDi lDOil
Al THIS WDIIlll TDDAY?
There was little diffusion of knowl·
edgc until the printing press was
in·
vented. Transportation and travel was
on foot, by camel,
elephan~
ho rse or
mule, rowboat or S3ilboat.
But suddenly,
10
the nineteenth and
twentietb ceotunes aU that cbanged!
The steam boat appeared. Combustion
engines pul wbeels to work developing
(aster travel by land. The automobile
appeared. Roads were budt. Railroads
developed greater speed. Then carne the
motion picture.
Pcople from all pans of the world
began to see what people in other parts
looked like. Styles originating in París,
New Yorle or Hollywood were seen and
copied all over tbe eanb. Then came
radio, llDd tben television. Wben
1
was
eleven years old the 6rst airplane flight
was made. The wars developed the air–
plane as a weapoo of war. Theo carne
the jet, tb.e telephone, and now miracu–
lous, almost instant telephone con·
nections to any part of the world by
means ofsatcltitc.
