the ground but stops not here. he is
brought forth for q higher and nobler
purpose, to love aud worship God, to

one to be his companion save the beasts
of the field, God so loved him and
pitied him, that he brought deep sleep
upon him. and took a RIB from him, and
made helpmeet, and when he awokc, he
found heep inclined in his arm, the most
beautiful and lovely creature his eyes
ever rested upon formed in his image
with small variation and that for the

something to do to fill life's drama with
usefulness to the world, to yourself, your
husband and God, first always meet that
husband with smile Of welcome, there
is God upon that smile! and will take
