After going through the preliminaries the auditor informed the council that he had a letter from Irving Mathews that he desired to read. The members made themselves as comfortable as possible and some appeared to be inclined to doze. The auditor had read but a few lines when they began to prick up their ears and listen. The more he read the more interest manifested. It certainly was a prize essay. Evidentally Mr. Mathews was groomed either for a fight or a footrace. The committee on electric light franchise had a misunderstanding in regard to presenting their report to the council and it was not made. The street committee reported that Dayton street bridge had been repaired and was ready for travel. The marshal and the water committee were instructed to conserve the water supply and see that no misuse was made of it. Being no further business the council adjourned. PLEASED WITH NEW HOME
Editor Falls City News: Gentlemen: I see items from different parts of the country but nothing from the Coast so I will send you a few lines in regard to this part of the country. We had no show this winter and no frost since January. Have been using young potatoes since April 15th and ripe strawberries since May 1st. Gooseberries for the last ten days, cherries half grown, apples and pears looking fine. Grass is fine and the Factory is working about 6000 pounds of mild daily. We think we have the best country in Oregon. Sincerely yours, Z. Hinshaw. Mr. Hinshaw left here last August and took up his abode in the Coast country and we are glad to learn that he is satisfied with his change. We are always glad to hear from old residents of Falls City who have cast their lot among strangers that their friends may know how they are getting along. NEW M. D.
   THE SIXTH DAY OR EPOCH
The specialization in the case of man's creation is shown in his vast superiority over the lower animals. The first man, Adam, was an image of his Creator, the highest type of fleshly or animal being. That image of his Creator consisted in his moral and intellectual likeness. It is difficult to judge from present human conditions all that is meant by God's image, because we have no sample of perfect humanity for comparison. "All have sinned and come short of the glory of God" in which Adam was created. (Psalm 8:5) Sin and Death have reigned and the Godlikeness has been lost. All need Restitution. It was toward the close of the Sixth Day, or approximately fourty two thousand years from the time of beginning the ordering of Earth, that God created man. The image of God from this standpoint would mean a human being thoroughly in tune with the Infinite One, one that would have no unrighteousness nor iniquity to him. Adam's transgression was not the result of ignorance, nor of pure willfulness. It was the result of temptation, which his limited knowledge accentuated. His responsibility was for the knowledge he possessed. He knew that he was disobeying God. When thinking of man in the image of God, we instinctively look back to "The Man Christ Jesus," "holy, harmless, undefiled and and seperate from sinners," and like the first Adam, whose penalty He came into the world to meet. - 1 Corinthians 15:22. "After Our likeness let him have dominion." Adam's dominion over the lower animals was like God's dominion over the Universe. Angels, although in God's image, do not have a God like dominion over creatures of a lower order. Man's dominion overthrown by sin, is to be restored by Messiah's Kingdom. - Acts 3:19,21  |
