the voice of God created! Horses grander
than those which in after time Job will
describe as having neck clothed with thun-
der. Cattle enough to cover athouSand hills.
Sheep shepherded by Him who made for
them the green pastures. Cattle superior
TO the Attorneys and Ayrshires and Devon
shires of after times. Leopards SO beauti-
ful, we are glad they cannot change their
spots. Lions without their fierceness, and
all the quadruped world so gentle, SO sleek,
so perfect. Look out how you treat this
animal creation, whether 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 We're
created Friday and Saturday morning, as
man was created Saturday afternoon. They
have right to be here. He who gals q;
horse, or exposes 4 COW to the storm, or
beats dog or maulS cat, or CANDLES 1t
the igeon-shooting, or torments an insect,
WILL HAVE TO ANSWER FOR 1T
in the Judgment day. You may console
yourself that these creatures are not i'm
mortal and they cannot appear against you,
but the God who made these creatures, and
who saw the wrong You did them will be
there. Better look out, you stockraisers
and railroad companies who bring the cat
tie on the trains without food or water for
three or four days in hot weather. a long
groan of agony from Omaha to New York.
Better look out, you farmer riding behind
that limping horse with a nail that the
blacksmith drove into the quick. Better
look out, YOU farmer riding behind that
limping horse with Il nail that the black
smith drove into the quick Better look
out, you boys stoning bullfrogs and turning
turtles upside down, and robbing BIRDS
nests.
But something is wanting in Paradise
and the week is almost done Who is there
10 pluck the flowers of this edenic lawn2
Who is there TO command these worlds of
quadruped and fish and bird. For whom
has God put back the curtain from the face
of sun and moon and star! The world
wants an emperor and empress. 1t is Sat
urday afternoon. No one but the Lord Al
mighty can originate a human being. In
the world where there are in the latter
part of the Nineteenth century over four
teen hundred million people, a human being
is not a curiosity But how about the first
human eye that was ever kindled, the first
human ear that was ever opened, the first
human lung that ever breathed, the first
human heart that ever beat,
THE FIRST HUMAN LIFE
ever constructed? That needed the origi-
nation Of God. He had no model to work
by. What StupendouS work for 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 SO strong that it
can during each day lift what would be
equallto 120 tons of weight, and it must be
SO arranged as to beat over sc 900, 900 times
every year About 800 muscles must be
strung in the right place and at least 80
bones constructed. Into this body must be
put at least 5000, 900 nerves. Over 5000
perspiring pores must be made for every
inch OF fieshy surface. The human voice
must be so constructed it shall be capable
of producing 1852, 1S6 GA. 415 sounds. But
all this the most insignificant part of the
human being. The soul. An, the con
struction of that God himself would not be
equal to if he We're any the less of a God
Its understanding, its will. its memory, its
conscience. its capacities of enjoyment or
suffering. its Immortality. What a work
for Saturday afternoon! Aye! Before
night there were to be two such human and
yet immortal beings constructed, The wo-
man as well as the man was formed Satur-
day afternoon. Because a deep sleep fell
upon Adam, and by divine surgery a por-
ton of his side was removed for the nu-
cleus of another creation, it has been sup
posed that perhaps days and nights passed
between the masculine and feminine crea-
lions. But no!
ADAM WAS NOT THREE HOURS MINATED.
If physician can by anasthetics put one
into a deep sleep in three minutes, God GER
tainly could have put Adam into profound
sleep in short while that Saturday after
noon and made the deep and radical ex-
cision without causing distress. By ma
