Christ dying on the cross to reconcile
the things of heaven to the things Of
earth. L open the Bible, and l read in
it that God made man out of dust, and
placed him in a beauteous garden,
which, by material toll, he was to care
for and cultivate. Then he led before
him the animals-(t that inferior race
which is intended to supply slaves to
man)-man, then the work Of God,
was the king, the owner, the manager
of the universe. The part we have to
act now is unchanged. We have to
continue in these ages the work OF
Adam. Instead Of a small part of
Asia Minor, though, we have a whole
planet. God has given Us steam and
electricity,and distance is annihilated.
This globe, l say, is our Eden, and by
our labOrs on it we gain heaven and
earth. Applause. After the first
man came family and society. Adam
was alone, and God thought it not
good that he should be, for He knew
what Adam only felt he lacked. ''Let
there be light" God said, land light
was made, and He beheld il and said
it was good; and He created stars,
animals and plants, and saw that all
were very good. But when He made
what He adjudged His masterpiece,
and The edifice was crowned by man,
He perceived His work was incom-
plete. So God made Adam a compan-
ion, and saved him from egotism."
Thus was the organization of the fam
lily perfected.
In modern society celibacy exists for
the sake Of God, but this exception, if
YOU make it a rule, is against God and
against nature. Celibacy Is cOWardice
if it does not glOrify marriage. The
apostles have said that marriage is
honorable, marriage Is spOtless before
God and men. The great object in
view is the reconciliation of heaven
and earth and OF the present life with
the future, and TO secure union on
earth. Union in the city, in the nation
and in humanity was the thought Of
Jesus Christ, who first proclaimed that
which the prophets but dimly saw,
and the Jews never did see. The CEN
turies that will realize this great union
of nations have began. The labor has
commenced. Steam and electricity
remove all obstacles. Agassiz says
