All this is just exactly what God designed # is
all wonderful. beautiful, bounuul--t is al pure,
sinless, divine; aud 20, from creation until now,
the corn has been ohcyiug Gods wonderful laws,
annually reproducing ITSELF, and giving beauty TO
the eye, instruction TO the mind, aud food for man
and beast
ADAM AND Eve.
Now let ms turn to the Bible account OF the sixth
day of creation and read
$50 God created man In his own image in the
image of God created he him; male and female
created he them And God blessed them aud said
unto them, BE fruitful and multiply, and replenish
the earth and subdue it,
In one body Adam, q" male and female created
he them Two persons IN one flesh add the in
visible but immortal spirit within them and You
discover trinity. 10 In all that is material and
perishahle, the creation OF Adam was a very cN-
act repetition of the creation Of The first kernel OF
corn. Adam is the sceptre, the head, the husband (;
Eve springs from his side, we afterwards learn
and within her lie the jewel germs 10 be vivihed
and grow to frutage that shall an all the earth.
But Adam was endowed with higher and nobler
qualities than the corn lie had intellectual pow-
ers which allied him with celestial beings and
warm affections which required social life for their
full development and enjoyment Therefore when
God had prepared a home for Adam in Eden, lie
said
will make help meet for him.
And the Lord God caused deep sleep 90 fail
upon Adam, aud be slept; and he took one Of his
ribs aud closed mp the flesh instead thereof and
the nib which the Lord God had taken from man
made he a woman. and brought her unto the man.
Aud Adam said, this is now bone Of my bone aud
flesh Of my flesh she shall be called Woman bee
cause she was taken out of Man
II was precisely as If God had severed the scpu-
ire and the ear and placed them side by side 90
grow together, with the powers Of thought alec-
ton aud language added TO the original powers
OF reproduction and growth BY that act, Adam
and Eve were made two porons, bat yet of one
body. bone Of the identical bone and flesh of the
identical flesh originally created in Adam-ideuti-
cal u nature, spirit, soul, intellect, purposes, and
in earthly and immortal destiny. Then instantly
came the Got OF God which made them one body
in the institution of marriage As they had first been
100 creation, aud marriage thus became % divine iu-
stitutou, sacred, pure, holy, while The violation Of
1t is impure. unholy, and death deserving sin iu
the declared judgment Of God HIMSELF Thus
%. The corn was diNuell designed TO reproduce BE-
set by the union of TWO sexes in one body, so thc
marriage relation was also diviutly designed ior
every man and woman. They were designed ioI
each other IN sinltss unity. and somewhere IN the
wide world every laddie bias his lassic While
we cannot see the wind we DO discern it as the a.
gent that onues The hie-hcaring seed Of the sccp-
NIf TO lIt germ NI tom So ANuNHN men dlt
women. who are designed by God for each other
know 30 not. there Is yet an invisible and mighty
power within thcm--thc power Of mutual attrac
ton or lovc--which asserts itself whenever they
are proyidcntially brought together, aud reveal
TO each other the dyinely ordained duty and priyi
lege Of marriage.
So, then, young men and madens, If you have
been at all instructed or entertained 10y kenc
OF corn, neglect not your own dvinely tnjoinet
duty 10 raise and rpen nobler crop TO bless the
earth, and, past the resurrection day to bloom in
heaven.
The HARVEST
The Harvest hour of the corn has come, nov
let ms see the glorious iruitape. "Mercy on us
our seed was all a beautiful white streakcd with
red, and here Is white ear without single streab
of red like a hloodess Yankee girl here bril-.
liant white and delicate tlnts Of red just like th,
wonderful coupleXions found sometimes in th,
Irish here a nasty red like the American Indian
here one as brown as an East Indian and here arr
others queery mixed. ! wonder ii we shant frd
real ncgrow just as likely as not, for in thi,
very garden ] have raised coal black and blue
black and brown hlack corn, all from the seed O
one black ear. Moreover, you see that the shape
Of the kernels are different also.
Well this Is new wonder, and ! reckon yot
wish to know what it meaA The fact is that
some OF the silk Of the com was a light green
some brown, and some red and just the color'
varied IN tDe htCu o. me man VINO WClus the tcet-
tire and acts as head OF the family The wind
mixed the seed, and hence came the variety in the
corn. Now have thought about this that may
be worth telling. The fools are not all dead yet
and some Of the big ones declare that it is not
possible that all races of men descended from
Adam and Eve and some bigger ones think GOO
couldn't make man any how, and made a mon
key, that grew better and better till he got to be
a savage man, and the savage monkey man grew
better and better I'LL he got to e perfect Boston
Yankee, And the biggest fools OF all aver thai
every living thing has grown up OF itself by self
development from atoms that came they know no
how, and so men and women came to people tn,
earth II any body came IN either Of these las
ways, have no doubt it was the authors OF tn,
theories themselves, for the one has the brains o
a monkey and the other but an atom Of brains
Here the pure white corn, streaked with red ha
actually produced more colors than enough 10 an
sver the different colors OF mankind from Shem T.
Ham, from the whitest Caucasian to the blacl,
/ est African. Thus knoio and you know and e,
/ cry body can RHoW, that it was possible for ev
cry color aud shape OF corn to descend from on
originally created kernel and also equally possibl
for all the different colors and races OF men to d,
scrnd from Adam and Eve.
Thus endtth the corn lesson for the youn
folks, and that class is dismissed.
