Excerpt from Peace on Earth, in Which Is Presented the Brief and Plain System of Religion Which Is Revealed in the Bible "Peace on Earth" is a necessary sequel to "War in Heaven." In that work (and in a more recent one, "Origin of Man") the writer has argued that there is a God, who created all things, that man is immortal, that we existed before the creation of this world, and are of the fallen angels, that a future state of retribution awaits us, &c., In the following pages, other questions which arise out of that state of facts will be considered. And inasmuch as the evidence (much less the argument) by which that theory of our being is sustained cannot be reproduced here, all that is affirmed there must be admitted as true here, for the purposes of further consideration, and as constituting the premises from which the following conclusions are drawn. And as the proofs by which the premises are sustained are drawn from the sacred Scriptures alone, as viewed in the light of natural facts, laws, and reason, - so let the conclusion$ which follow be submitted to the same unerring tests, but to no other. The practical value of that hypothesis, to the advocate of the cause of Christ, lies in the fact that it is the true one, and hence it is the only theory of our origin that consists with the revealed Word of God: and, most assuredly, there is no other which can be maintained by evidence found in that Word. And, furthermore, we as Christians cannot successfully meet the objections of modern scientists to our system of religion on any other ground.
