"All heaven took a deep and joyful interest in the creation of the world and of man. Human beings were a new and distinct order. They were made "in the image of God," and it was the Creator's design that they should populate the earth.
In the condition of the world to-day we see the terrible result of living for self.
God's Spirit is being withdrawn from the earth, which in its moral pollution is as it was
--before the flood, and
--as it was in the days of Sodom and Gomorrah.
The world is becoming more and more devoted to the service of sin.
Under his control, men sin by rule.
Many who profess to love God and keep His commandments are making void His law. No one can enter the heavenly portals who fails of practicing the great principle of love."

The world is becoming more and more devoted to the service of sin.
Each age,
as it passes,
bequeaths to the one following its accumulation of contamination.
Satan is the god of the world. Under his control, men sin by rule.
Many who profess to love God and keep His commandments are making void His law. No one can enter the heavenly portals who fails of practicing the great principle of love."
