Roseburg review. [volume] (Roseburg, Or.) 1885-1920, 1886-11-12

HIs description the Kingd ON Of knowledge where
by eating of the Forbidden Fruit awakes from srtua
eah recalls his knowledge of the past born living soul
he angels with the umpcs figures Of the
inder which man fell and his resurrection.
Here Natures heel, even the joint appears
That connects the Makers foostool with his throne,
Where finished work its offspring bears,
Who recalls mans buried light to life again.
But OF himself the Law provides the lamb,
And bids the child to stab the parent soul,
There victim for the sacrifice but him,
Who would not permit his child to fall.
For ii was the same Voice that as the law
Brought the frstborn sons Of Nature FORTH
That bides son in the House of Jacob now,
And berays himself into the hands of Death.
When the spirit of the holy and the pure
Denied himself to the Evil bride,
He taken captive in the same snare
That Tor his offspring first was laid.
Twas thus that Judah the Ruler did not know,
That the father was his cherished son,
And in blindness struck the cruel blow
That he and mans despised parent were but one.
Thus the woman also was deceived,
For the Law was subject TO her rule,
When she bltndly cast off the Gcd she loved,
Nor knew whose mantle from her shoulders fell
The law betrayed is parent with kiss,
= For the Heaven and the Earth embraced.
When he rejected who came to bless,
BY the house that of himself he reared
'sShe is more righteous than l. the Master said
As from her through death he sprang;
While the and his wife uncovered stood,
Unconscious as babes who have committed wrong
They nailed him to the discerning Tree,
Who cast off by Earth and Heaven,
figure Of the Lamb Of Calvary;
Thus the spirit to the grave was given.
The Helpmeet to the discerning nature born,
Who to reign savior in the grave.
But they knew it not who thrust him down,
That he only sent before, their souls to
Down to the dark and formless void
The cast off parent of the creature fell,
There to separate the Evil from the Good,
Whose discerning Eye the dividing Wall.
Here he found the rivers Of Eden dry,
That nourshed the garden Of the Lord,
Where man had left his cast off form to die,
No longer by the breath Of Wisdom fed.
And there he weds the darkness and the light,
Who bring their offspring to his knee;
While their handmaids, the day and night,
Yield the fruits Of bondage to the Tree.
Thus Gods spirit penetrates the night
And through material gloom his wisdom shone;
While the Heavens glow with the discerning light,
OF him who brings his brethren down.
For it was there that the Living Root,
Was planted in mans primeval grave;
TiI1(death ry;ckened the homo that faith had lit
In the Word, the offspring that the Helpmeet gave.
The woman saw her husbands wisdom fade,
As Adams glory departed from his brow;
And hungered for the presence of the God
Whose councils grow into promise
But the Tree that was for man designed,
That he might escape his natures wrong and pain
To meet the woman's need was never planned
To whom the wrongs of Evil unknown
If man had but partaken OF the Tree
Before the light had from his spirit fled,
He could in his possession see
That he lacked nothing Of Evil or Of Good
Life in Eden was but peaceful dream
To her who had no knowledge but of good,
And with man no knowledge'ei his nature came,
Who should have furnished her with living fool.
Means to escape his natures wrong and ill;
| Stood as a snare within the woman's path,
Where she into the miery pit might fall.
| Listen 10 Rebekah urging her child
The blessing of his father TO obtain,
As when the serpent thus Jbeguiled,
Woman the wisdom Of the gods 10 gain
/ When clad in the garb Of unbeief
| The raiment that was bV the elder worn;
| She took the forbidden morsel off,
And shared it with the supplanted man.
| They ate not Of the tree, but stripped
| The fruit of discerning wisdom from its limbs;
| As when Joseph the womans hand escaped,
And only his garment in her grasp remains
| But neither fear nor hope their fancies met
Both death and life had from their covert fed,
| And the woman found no virtue in the the fruit
Save the knowledge that she was deceived.
Man was naked but not ashamed
/ Who in his blindness had forsaken God,
Till he ate of the forbidden fruit and died.
Not 70 the Evil nature but the Good
| A figure of him who to the Savior came
ROBBED In white and took hold upon the Tree,
Like his, the robe OF innocence falls from man,
Who turns in his nakedness TO flee.
ST. Mark, Chap. "a, ST. 81 verses
Here where the nurse of Rebekah died,
And buried beneath an oak in Bethel lay
The Heavenly Nature left the woman's side,
Whose Light had been the guardian OF her way.
And man was born to Eternal Night,
Now that the dividing wall was broken down,
Destroying his only way to escape from it, twas 81;
Through whose blindness, the knowledge of the G
.sAnd from thy face shall be hid,
Listen to the wretched Gains lament,
So great the loss of his Spiritual Head,
