heritage. Hail to the green grass,
GODS favorite color and Gods favor
2lte plant, as / judge from the fact that
ne makes a larger, number of them
IMAM OF anything else. But look yon-
Der! Something starts out of the
ground and goes higher up, higher and
higher, and spreads out broad leaves.
1t is palm tree. Yonder is another
growth, and it's leaves hang far down,
and it Is willowtree. And yonderisa
growth with mighty sweep ofbranches.
And here they come-the pear and the
apple, and the peach and the pomegran-
ate, and groves and orchards and for
ests, their shadows and their fruit
glrdling the earth.-Notice that the
hrst thing that God made for food
was fruit, and plenty OF it. Slaughter
houses are of later invention. Far
am | from being vegetarian, but an
almost exclusive meat diet is deprav-
ing. Savages confne themselves al
most exclusively to animal food, and
that is one reason why they are sava-
ges. Give your children more apples
and less mutton. The world willhav
to give dominance to the fruit diet of
Paradise before it gets back to the
morals OF Paradise. May Gods bless
Ing come down on the orchards and
vineyards of America, and keep back
the frosts and the curculio. "And the
evening and the morning were the third
day."
Now it is Thursday morning OF the
worlds first week. Nothing will be
created to-day The hours will be
passed in scattering fogs and mists
and vapors. The atmosphere must
be - -....
SWEPT CLEAN.
Other worlds are to hove in sight.
First, the moons white sail appears
and does very we'll until the sun bursts
upon the scene. And the sun now ap-
pears, afterward to be found $4,000
miles in diameter, and, put in astrono-
mical scales, to be found to weigh
nearly four hundred thousand times
heavier than our earth; a. mighty
furnace, it's heat kept up by meteors
pouring into it as fuel, a world devour-
Ing other worlds with it's jaws OF flame.
And the stars came out, those street
lamps OF heaven, those keys of pearl
upon which Gods fingers play the
music of the spheres. Enough! "And
the evening and the morning were the
fourth day"
Now it is
E~ FRIDAY MORNING -
in the first week Of the worlds exist
ence. Water, but not fin swimming
in it; air, but no wing flying in it. It
is a silent world. But, bark! Now
there is swirl and splashing in all
the four rivers of Pison, Gihon, Hid
dekel and Euphrates. They are all
a-swim with life, some darling like
arrows through split crystal, and
Others quiet in dark pools like
shadows. And while stand on the
banks of these fnny tribes, I hear a
whirr in the air and look up and be-
hold wings-wings Of larks, robins,
doves, eagles, famingos, albatrosses,
brown-threshers. Creatures of all
color, blue as if dipped in the Skies,
ferry as if they had flown out of the
sunsets, golden, as if they had taken
their morning bath in buttercups.
"And the evening and the morning
were the fifth day.
Now it is Saturday morning of the
worlds first week and with this day
the week closes. But oh, what
A CLIMACTERIC DAY!
The air has it's population and the
water it's population. Yet the land
has not one inhabitant. But here they
come, by the voice of God created!-
Horses grander than those which in
after time Job will describe as having
neck clothed with thunder. Cattle
enough to cover thousand hills.
Sheep shepherded by Him who made
for them the green pastures. Loop
ards SO beautiful, we are glad they
cannot change their spots. Lions with
out their ferceness and all the quad
ruped world so gentle, so sleek, so
perfect They walk the earth or
swim the waters or fly the air. Do
you not notice that God gave them
precedence of the human race? They
were created Friday AMI Saturday
morning, as man was created Satur-
day afternoon. They have right to
be here. He who gals a horse, or ex-
poses a COW to the storm, or beats a
dog, or maules a cat, or CANDLES at
the pigeon-shooting or fortunes an in

judgment day. Who is there to COM
mand these worlds of quadruped and
fish and birds?, The world wants an
emperor and empress. That needed
the organization of God. He had
no model to work by. What stipend
Gus work for a Saturday afternoon!
By a manipulation of the dust, the
same hand that moulded the noun
tains moulded the features, and
moulded the limbs of the father of the
human race. But his eyes did not
see, and his nervs did not feel, and his
muscles did not move, and his lungs
did not breathe, and his heart did
not pulsate. A perfect form he lay
along the earth, symmetrical and of
God-like countenance. Magnificent
piece of
DIVINE CARPENTRY
and omnipotent sculpturing, but no
vitality. A body without a soul.
Then the scouce of all life stopped to
the Illuminated nostril and lip, and, as
many a slillful and earnest physician
has pnt his lips to a patient in acoma-
tose state and breathed into his
