on to describe tho location Of this garden, and its
growth, aud the rivers that ran through it. and
that they penetrated zoldhdcllium and tho ONYX
stone all tempting industry and enterprise in this
tater Of me ground. After describing these de-
tails, it is declared: "Anl tho Lord God took the
man and put him into tho Garden of Edon, tn

| fruit OF the forbidden treo. and telling him the
| penalty OF the net, tho narrative says: "And tho
| Lord God said it is not goud that the man should
| DO alone. l will make him Il holp-meet for him"
verse 18th. Then is described how ho caused
| Adam to name all tho boasts of the earth, and
| fowls OF the air, and concludes by saying: "But
for Adam there was NOT found u help-meot for
him." And he caused deep sleep to fall upon
| Adam, and took rib from his sido, and formed n

will be seen from the above, that there were two
| separate and distinct creations OF men. That
made on 9th day or period, n simultaneous
| creation of men and women, for it distinctly de-
.clarcs male and fen,ate created he them. Where
as III the last creation in the I'd chapter, it dis

as III the second creation it s directly said "there
was not a man to till the ground" and ono was

patton, and tempt his industry. After Adam had

thou eat bread till thou return unto the ground"-
81 chapter, 18th and 10Th verses He went forth
and was ''tiier of the grouud," as he was ORDER
cd to be, and his race have been tilIers of the
ground with its different branches of occupation
and civilization ever since for 5025 years; while
the othor, the first created race, have been feed
ors upon spontaneous productions-,nuts and
| fruit-bearing trees, and whatever could be pro-
cur, without being ''tilicrs of the ground" save
where they have been brought, BY The higher race,
into civilization and regular ,oork. Nothing proves
the divine inspiration Of Moses moro clearly than
his having at this early period Of the world, in q
few grsphic verses, delineated tho distinct charac-
teristcs Of the two races, and the object for which
characteristics have marked each race for five
| Thousand years without variation. How could
this be done without the divinity that shaped
their nature in the first days OF their creation 2
The efforts Of the missionaries, with all their
zeal, for one hundred years, have produced but
little impression on the mixed race, even in di-
yertinG them from their instinct to wander and
feed upon the nuts and fruits Of the wild forest

'tillers Of the ground" and Immediately
herds, and to develop the productions Of the
earth, and to follow the temptations OF Provi-
dence In declaring to them that their great rivers
flowed through the land of gold and ,bedellium
and onyx stone: This has been the race for the
civilization Of the earth, tho architects Of cities
and towns and temples, who have spread the
|
the world, snnffing in it's lofty beak the gale and
the breeze OF every ocean and every sea, and
bearing back upon it's expanded and exu"erant
bosom the aromatic treasures Of every chime to
bless and gladden. the heart of man. This Is the
race that God Almighty himself created especially
to illustrate the dispensatons OF his Providence,
the history OF which is developed in the inspired
pages Of His Holy Book. We cannot ask why or
wherefore, To say it cannot be 80 because it
does not tally with cur limited notions of philsn-
throPy and universal equality, is to arraign the
God of Gre tion before Puritanical board of
commissioners, sclf-constituted and self appoint
cd, to be the supreme censors OF the morals and
| rogance of Lucifer himself, snd finally the same
fate awaits them that befell him, although they

equal and why should God create different orders
i'll the races Of mon? Why should He have differ

| there are angels aud arch-angels there, even to
| the tallest around the throne itself. Why should
He, IN His chosen people, illustrate government
and appoint orders and rulers, and expressly con-
| stitute Moses to he lawgiver, and Aaron and his
sons to oe priests, and Gideon and Joshua to
bear the sword and command the armies Why

earth and the eagle the prince Of birds Order is
the first law OF creation. 1t goes up from the
order OF msmmalia up to the nobest Caucasian that
ever turned his eye upward to God from the
equality, and to enforce it, is to declare universal
prohigacy, and inaugurate universal revolution
plumber and murder. This univ, rsal equality and
| levelling OF the human race sprang from the
dreamy doctrines of Rousseau and Yoitaire, over
spread Europe and cumin +ted in the great French
| revolution. The French Chambers made a corol-
| larry to the declaration that all men were euual
| by actually announcing "that there was no God
| and the Bible was lie." These two declarations
| are essential props Of each other. Franklin and
Jefferson, both sent TO France by our Govern

| Voltaire and the French and came back and
through their great influence in orporated it into
the belief and institutions OF our country This
idea has been cauker worm, preying upon the
vitals OF our society since. We have been
educated in this belief from earliest ibiapcy

always aspiring to some man higher in position,
| hoping to realize the Utopian dream of uni
versal equality which has been the iundamen-
tai doctrine Of American law. This it is
which which has set every mans hand againat every
other man, and flied all society with rivaships,
quiet, order, harmony and beneyolence. They

But this has only changed tho form Of slavery
