life ever cOnstructedP That needed the
OriginatiOn of a God he had no model
to work by What stupendous work
for a Saturday afternoon! He must
originate a style of human heart
through which all the blood in
the body must pass every three
minutes He must make that heart
50 strong that IL can during each
day lift what would be equal to $50 tons
of weight, and it must be so arranged
as to beat over Sc, 900, 600 times every
year. About 500 muscles must be
strung in the right place and at least
$50 bones constructed Into this body
must be put at least g, coo, 600 nerves
Over 5, 600 perspiring pores must be
made for every inch of Heshy surface
The human voice must be 50 construct
ed it shall be capable of producing IT,
5S2, 1s6, 40, as sounds But all this the
most insignificant part of the human
being. The soul! All, the construction
Of that God Himself would not be
equal to if He We're any the less
of God It's understanding, its
will its memory, its conscience, its
| capacities, its enjoyment or suffering,
its Immortality! What a work for a
| Saturday afternOOnI Aye! before night
| there were to be two such human and
| yet immortal beings constructed The
! woman as well as the man was formed
| Saturday afternoon Because a deep
sleep fell upon Adam and by divine
surgery a portion of his side was re-
! moved for the nucleus of another crea-
| ton, it has been supposed that perhaps
! several days and nights passed between
1 the masculine and feminine creations.
But no! Adam was not three hours
| minated. If a physician can by anass-
/ thetics put one into a deep sleep in three
minutes, God certainly could have put
! Adam into profound sleep in a short
| while that Saturday afternoon and
/ made the deep and radical excelsior
| without causing distress. By a manip-
/ ulatiOn of the dust, the same hand that
| nodded the mountains nodded the
features, and nodded the limbs of the
| father of the human race. But his eyes
| did not see, and his nerves 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-lilSe cOuntenance- Magnih-
| cent piece of divine carpentry and
omnipotent soul pturing, but no vitality.
| A body without a soul Then the
! source of all life stopped to the mani
mate nOstrn and lip, and, as many q
sl1illful and earnest physician has put
his lips to a patient in comotose state
| and breathed into his mouth and
| nOstril, and at the same time com,
pressed the lungs until that which was
| artificial respiration became natural
respiration, so methinxs God breathed
| into this cold sculpture of a man the
| breath of life, and the heart begins &c
tramp, and the lungs to inhalc, and the
eyes to open and the entire form tc
thrill, and with the rapture of life Just
come the PROSTATE being leaps to his
feet-a man!
But the scene of this Saturday is mo-
yet done, and in the atmosphere, drOwsy
with the breath of flowers, and the
song of bobolinks, and robin redbreasts
the man slumbers, and by anasthetics
diyinely administered, the slumbel
| deePens until without the oOzing Of ont
drop of blood at the time, or the faint
est scar afterward, that portion is re
moved from his side that is to be bull
up the queen of Paradise, the daughte
OF the great God, the mother of tn
human race, the benedictiOn of all ages
| woman the wife. afterward woman tn
| mother. And as the two join hand
and stroll down along the banks of tn
Euphrates toward bower of mignou
