favor Of appointing officers to supervise cleo

U10A>0 W11A4W02 0u0uOo
The first father Of our race knew moth
ing Of the helplessness Of infancy. He
started upon the course Of immortality
in the strength and fallness Of perfect
manhood. In the first moment of self
scrutiny he found himself everything
that he would desire to be, with no
feeling or suspicion that anything had
been omitted or overdone In the select
ion and finishing Of his faculties. So
man began his existence on earth at the
very highest grade of human power
and excellence. The utmost that the
race could do in all subsequent time
would be to equal the first perfect man
as God made him. But not SO to-day.
The idea is that the first man was a
savage and that his first home was
with the brutes; but it is fable Of
heather poets, an invention Of mis-
named philosophy, having no founda-
ton in reason 0rrevelati0n. The high
est attainment of modern culture is on
ly an imperfect return to the blessed age,
when the human mind was taught di-
rectly by divine inspiration, and every
faculty was fresh and free to range
through all the works of God.
The first man had home suited to
his wants and gratifying to his taste.
The first human habitation was built
by Him who built the worlds, and 80
lived the first great father of mankind
in his garden home, while the happy
days of innocence lasted and the holy
heavens looked down upon a new
world of purity and love. The brutes
came to him in willing subsection. The
mysterious powers of nature unfolded
their sacred properties for his pleasure
and advantage. The Lord planted his
garden home and gathered around him
in perfect harmony of arrangements
all trees and flowers that were most
profitable and excellent in beauty.
Every word in the primitive Ian
guage which the first man learned
from his maker was the choicest
symbol of the thing described or the
thing expressed. The first implements
which were used in his garden work
were made by the Divine Hand and
the voice of the Lord went with him to
teach him how to use them. He learn
ed the properties of the plants and the
culture of the soil, not as we must, by
long and costly experiments, but by
open converse with Him who made ev-
grow out of the ground.
Whatever he needed to know, whatev-
er questions his free heart prompted
him to ask. there was a Divine teacher
at his side to solve every doubt and to
more than he sought,
and beside, every organ of his frame
was fresh and free, every sensibility Of
his soul was quick with life-and to
the first created man was given q COM
panion corresponding to him in nature
and his counterpart in affection, "Hand
in hand the blessed pair walk, !" through
the green fields and shaded dells of
Eden. Conversing in language which !
both had learned from the mouth of God
Such was mans first home in the gar
den of delight; such was the freedom
and high command which he enjoyed
in the Paradisical State and yet it is |
not SO much change of place that we
need as change of heart.
