a o human I father would not do this One of oC the sublime things In tn human experience is I th the faith of a child in its Is parents Amplify Am Am- that faith to the point pint of ot spiritual

should hould be our trust In Ills His ability to t give ge us nil all ni and more than we can tan possibly receive In the lie opening chapter or of Gen Genesis weare wo we are told that God ted Created man In His and likeness and gave jave man dominion dominion dominion do do- minion over all al the tho earth as well wel as over everything above and beneath the earth Has It ever occurred to
