PARADISE AT THE POLE.


years ago that the repeated failure OF so
many experienced Artic explorers to
reach the North Pole WAS in consequence
of something mere subtle than common,
natural causes. The result OF my cogi.
tations is, that pessibly at this pole lies
the Garden OF Eden, and that the original
tree of life still exists there to fulfill the
purpose OF Jehovah, in His own appoint
ed time. Moieov that the cherubm's s
flaming sword, turning every way to
guard the tree Of life, is the cutting, pierc
ing cold of that latitude, which, when
taken in connection with the aurora bo-
realis, as it flashes and darts in the north
ern armament, makes the flgurative Ian
guage of scripture plain to our under
standing. To sustain this theory, we
learn from the mesgre history of our first
parents that God made them coats OF
skins" and as our Heavenly Father pro
vides His creatures with what is best
adapted for their protection and eonven-
ience, this would indicate that the tenn
persture around Eden must have materi-
ally changed to necessitate so warm n
covering for human bodies. Although
this barrier was sufficient to keep the
antediuvians at u respectable distance
from Eden, it does not discourage mod
ern adventurers. can imagine that
while N Nosh was bsrne up by the waters
of the deluge, anchored as it were to the
heavens, the earth was removed from
under him, and the east changed to the
north. In the vast quantities OF ivory in
close proximity to tie pole is also strong
evidence in support OF this theory. In
Siberia on the one side, and Alaska op
posite, are found preserved portions OF
innumerablc animals which, on the sub
siding of the waters, wsre envoloped in
the preserving element as at present
found for it is quite evident that they
were not long subjected to the changes OF
winter and suoner, night and day.
1t would be perfectly in accord with
other acts OF the Creator that he should
cast into oblivion for long period o
time the theater where was enacted the
first human crime the progenitor which
brought forth so much woe, the enormity
of which could not he atoned Tor by any
or all created being, but necessitsteG the
sacrifice OF the Son of God. II Jerusalem
with Gods own temple, Babylon, Tyre,
Nineveh, and many other places were
destroyed on account Of the wiokedness
Of thor inhabitants, may it not appear
reasonable that Eden WAS hurled Ms an
unclesn thing into ths cold and desDlate
regions OF the North, thus i-olating from
our race the first district polluted by the
trail OF the old serpent, who 50 success
fully prompted the first Human crime
instigaled the first murder Of brother
snd corrupted the inhabitants so that in
the end there was but one man found
worthy to preserve mail remnant ot
all that hreaihed ;he breath Of life.
Tn" prevailing idea of scientific mer
That there is Il warm space at the pole
slso lavors the above theory. The late
lameuted Captain Hall enthusiasticall
declared. previous to his last voyage, thH
he expected to psce the American Aag
on the pole, aud to find there beautiful
sRlubrious climate, and race Of human
beings unlike any at present known. |
the theory herein advanced be correct
the signal failure OF that voyage, and th'
sad results connected with it, are proc
positive that man, however innocsntly
cannot fight sgnst God. .-Aterande,
