Better look out, you farmer riding be-

and turning turtles upside down, and rob-
hing birds nests. But something is want
ing In Paradise and the week is almost
done. Who Is there to pluck the flowers
of this Edenic lawni 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 starr The world wants an EN-
perof and empress. 1t is Saturday after
noon. No one but the Lord Almighty can
originate a human being. In the world
where there are in the latter part of the
Nineteenth centory over fourteen hundred
million people, a human being is not a
curiosity.
But how about the first human eye that
was ever kipdled, tho 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 con-
structedf That needed the origination Of
a God. He had no model to work by.
What stupend0us work for q Saturday
afternoonl He must originate style of
human heart through which all the blood
in the body must pass every three minutes.
He pust make that heart so strong that it
can, during each day, lift what would be
equal to one hundred and twenty tons of
weight, and it must be SO arranged as to
beat over thirty-siy million times every
year. About five hundred muscles must
be strung in the right place, and at least
two hundred and fifty bones constructed.
Into this body must be put at least nine
million nerves. Over three thousand per-
spring pores must be made for every inch
of fieshly surface.
The human voice must be so constructed
1t shall be capable of producing seventeen
triliion fivchundred and ninety-two billion
one hundred and ei9hty-six million forty
four thousand four hundred and fifteen
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 il he were any the less of a
God Its understanding, its will, its men,
Org, it's conscience, its capacities of enjoy
mept or suffering, it's immortality! What
a work for Saturday afternoonl Ayel
Before night there were to be two such
human and yet immortal beings con-
structed. The woman as well as the man
was formed Saturday afternoon. Because
a deep sleep fell upon Adam, and by divine
surgery portion Of his side was removed
for the nucleus Of another creation, it has
been supposed that perhaps days and
nights passed between the masculine and
feminine creations. But mol Adam was
not three hours minated.
IL n physician can by an4cthetics put
Qua into a deep sleep in three minutes,
God certainly could have put Adam into Il
profound sleep in a short while that Satur-
day afternoon, and made the deep and radi
cal excelsior without causing distress. By
n manipulation Of the dust the same hand
that nodded the mountains nodded the
features and nodded the limbs of the ia

muscles did not move, and his lungs Id
not breathe, and his heart did not pulsate.
A perfect form be lay along the earth,
symmetrical and OF godlike countcnsncc.
Magnificent Piece of Divine carpentry and
Onuipotent scripturing, but no vitality.
A body without a soul.
