| take taste Of the pear, and it has
all the luxury Of the three thousand
varieties Of the Nineteenth century;
all the Seckel and the Bartlett of the
genealogical gardens Of later times an
acidity compared with it. And the
grapes. Why. this one cluster has in
it the richness Of whole vineyards OF
Catawbas and COncOrIs and Isabellas.
Fruits Of all cJIOrs, OF all odOrs, of all
tlavOrs No hand Of man yet made to
pluck it or tongue to taste it. The
banquet for the human race is being
spread before the arrival of the first
guest. In the fruit of that garden was
the seed for the orchards and gardens
of the henispheres. Notice that the
first thing that God made for food
was fruit, and plenty Of it. Slaughter
houses are of later invention. Far am
| from being a vegetarian, but an al
most exclusive meat diet is depraving.
Savages confine themselves almost ex-
clusively to animal food, and that is
one reason that they are savages.
Give your children Iaore apples and
less mutton The world will have to
give dominance to the fruit diet Of Par
adise before it gets back to the morals
of Paradise. May Gods blessing come
down on the orchards and vineyards of
America, and keep back the frosts and
tho curculiO. But we must not forget
that it is Wednesday evening in Eden,
and upon that perfect fruit of those
perfect trees let the curtain drop.
And the evening and the morning
were the third day"
THE SUN AND MOON APPEAR.
Now it is Thursday morning Of the
worlds first week Nothing will be
created today The hours will be
passed in scattering fogs and mists and
vapors. The atmosphere must be swept

seemed to have all the ocean of i'm

are to be hailed today on the high seas
of space. First the moons white sail

sun bursts upon the scene. The light
that on the previous three mornings
was struck from an especial word now
gathers IN the sun, moon and stars.
One for the day, the others for the
night. 1t seemed as if they had all
within twenty-four hours been created
All, this is q great time in the world+

neighbor to our earth, appears, bel

And the sun now appears, afterwarC

furnace, its heat kept up by meteor
| pouring into it as fuel, a world devour
ing other worlds with it's jaws of flame
And the stars come out, those stree
lamps of heaven, those keys of pearl
upon which Gods fingers play the musi,
of the spheres. How bright they looE
in this oriental evening! Constella

hours of this first week-solar, lunar
stellar appearances. All this Thursda,
and the adjoining nights employed il
pulling aside the curtain of vapor from
these flushed or pale faced worlds
Enough! "And the evening and thu
morning were the fourth day"
FLYING AND SWIMMING CREATURES.
Now it is Friday morning in the frs
week of the worlds existence. Water
but not fin swimming it; air, but no
a wing flying it. 1t is a silent world
Can it be that it was made only TO
vegetables But bark! There is
swirl and a splashing in all the fou
rivers of Pison, Gihon, Hiddekel anc
Euphrates. They are all aswim witt
Life, some darling like arrows through
split crystal, and others quiet in darl
pools like shadows Everything fror
spotted trout to behemoth; all colored
all shaped, the ancestors of finny tribe
that shall by their wonder of construc
ton confound the Agassizes, the Cuvier
and the Linnauses and the ichthyolc
gists of the more than six thousan,
years following this Friday the frs
week. And while stand on the bank
of these paradisaical rivers watchin
these finny tribes l hear a whirr in tn
> air, and look up and behold wings
wings of larks, robins, doves, eagles
tiamingoes, albatrosses, brown thresf
ers. Creatures of all color-blue as
dipped in the skies, fiery as if they hac
flown out Of the sunsets, golden as
they had taken their morning bath i
buttercups. And while I arn studyin
