"The queerest thing about the war to me," said a junkman whose business runs Into five figures nnnunlly, "Is tho fact that It has made even old tin cans valuable. One Iowa Junkman who had been holding his stock of scrap Iron, old brass, rags, rubber and paper for higher prices sold his hoarded junk at the end of the first year of war for $100,000. Junk Is tremendously valu able. Now attempts are being made to salvage tho tin film on so-called 'tin cans' by melting them. Tin Is very valuable as a war metal and the despised 'tin can' Is becoming an eco nomic asset whero formerly It wns a liability.

This, now . ever, Is only In part true, for mankind cannot be fully known apart from the revelation Odd has given of man In the Bible. The Bible reveals God to man, but It also reveals man to himself. If we would, therefore, know mankind, we would study! man In the light of whnt God says about him. Not an Exalted Ape. There are some wise men who wouM havo us believe that man Is the off spring of an ape; If so, then man Is an exalted ape because between man and tho ape, as wo know them, there Is a wido difference. In arriving at their conclusion It is barely possible tho wise men were led Into It tyy fol lowing Pope's suggestion, and In so do ing discovered In man what they thought to bo ancestral traits, for If there Is any being on earth who can mnke a monkey of himself, man Is tho ono. Many have accepted the Darwinian theory ot the evolution of man as a substantial fact, when the truth Is there Is not a single proof In support of It It Is simply a.hypothesls a sup position assumed. The late Dr. James Orr, the Scotch theologian, who Wag competent to speak upon this subject, says: "It Is vain to apeak of science demonstrating the slow development of man from the anthropoid ape, for It does no such thing. There Is no proof of this In science up to this present hour. There Is no evidence of any such gradual process." A Created Being. Turning now from the hypotheses of men, we note that the Bible teaehea that man Is a created being. This fact which Is stated In the first and second chapters of Genesis Is confirm ed by other.Scrlptures, so thnt we are by no means dependent upon the Gen esis account for It. Our Lord him self adds his confirmatory words when he says: "Have o not rend that ha which mndo them at the beginning mndo them male and female, and said for this cause shall man leave father and mother, and shall cleave to his wife; and they twain shall be one flesh?" (Matt 19:4-5). Upon this account of the creation of man In Genesis and tho quotation from that book, Christ bases his teaching upon the sanctity of marriage. It Is surely subtle reasoning thnt admits tho truth of Christ's teaching and at the same time charges him with has- ng It upon what ho knew, as some say, wns only a fable. Surely, such a ono should not be whnt he clnlmed he was. "the way, the truth, and tho life." No matter whnt men may say about the origin of man, the fact re mnlns thnt the Scriptures, substan tiated by, Christ, uniformly teach that he Is a created being. In the Image of God. Further the Scriptures teach that man was mado In the Imago of God. This Is quite different from being evolved from an ape. This makes man the offsurlng of God, and not of a monkey. It cxnlts him, Instead of debasing him. no begins his being ns a man, and not as a something of the lower creation which gradually through long periods of time chnngea Into whnt he now Is, which If the hy pothesis be true, would make him an exalted ape. If the theory be true, what Is to hinder the process of evolu tion going on and man developing Into . something specifically different from whnt he now Is, and so on ad Infinitum? We have -mentioned the wide differ ence between man and the ape. Now the essential difference between them does not. consist In the brain capacity of the skulls, In hairy or smooth skin, but In the fact that man was made In the Image of God. By this Is not meant a bodily likeness, for we know "God In a spirit" and "a spirit hath not flesh and bones." (John 4:24; Luke 24:39). The Image Marred. But alas! man fell through sin and the Image was marred. Such Is the teaching of the Bible, which Is quite contrary to tho hypotheses of men who bonst of the ascent of man, while sin has gone away from God and not to ward God; that this apostasy. In volves the whole human race, so that "all have sinned and como short of the glory ot God;" that the catastro phe of sin Is so complete that man Is helpless and hopeless becnuso of It to savo himself from It. The Bible, how ever, does not leave man, In whom the Imago of God I) marred without hope, for It tells htm thnt "where sin abound ed grace did much more abound," nnd thnt God hns made provision for the res titution of mnn In th redemption which lie provided on Calvary's cross by which the Imnge of God marred by sin shall be restored In those who ac cept his Son ns their Savior.
