Editorial Defenders of the Faith-2

M.L. Andreasen

In article No. 1, Professor Andreasen set forth several guiding principles which show how our editors and periodicals may be defenders of the faith.

He continues with the next point, on the doctrine of creation.

Return of Science to Religion

Frederick, Lee

It is true that science can do much to make the world more com­fortable and to fill it with an abundance of those materials that make for the welfare of mankind.

Daniel H. Kress

It is of interest to note some of the statutes which the Lord had given to afford protection from the diseases and curses which prevailed in Egypt. Leviticus 13 and 14 are devoted entirely to instruction regarding the course to be pursued should some contagious or in­fectious disease appear.
