The Absolute. God, infinite and eternal energy—not a person. God—the first cause. God has no existence apart from the universe and never had. The latter is eternal. There never has been a creation. It is only as we read God in the uni- . verse that we can.know anything about him. The whole cosmic process is one uprising of the being of God, from itself With what God have we to do except the God who is eternally man? Essentially God is man—the fount of humanity. From matter and force come intelli­ gence, and from these come morality and religion.

JESUS CHRIST

JESUS CHRIST Jesus, the son of Adam-God and Mary. The Fatherhas begotten him in his own likeness. Who is the Father? He is the first of the human family. Jesus was married at Cana to the Marys and Martha whereby "he could see his seed" before he was crucified. Joseph Smith is a descendant of Christ. Christ was a descendant of David by his plural wife Bathsheba, and if David had not been a polygamist there would have been no redeemer.

gling to find a remedy? But every Bible studying Christian knows that whatever alleviation is hit on, while it may help things temporarily, is foredoomed to complete failure. Peace between men who are at war with God cannot be permanent. Humanity cannot escape the results of sin while sin is allowed to remain. Humanity cannot continue to reject Jesus Christ and expect God to take no further notice of its rebellion. One day God’s Son will be crowned

defect in all human schemes for human­ ity is that they can make no provision for banishing sin. Suffering is so bound up with sin, happiness is so bound up with holiness, being in right with one’s neighbor is so bound up with being right with God, that human ingen­ uity cannot separate them.
