it the richness Of whole vineyards Of
Catawbas and Concerts and Isabellas.
Fruits of all colors, of all odors, of all
havors. No hand OF IMAM yet made to
pluck it or tongue to taste it. The
banquet forthe 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

first thing that God made for food
was fruit, and plenty of it. Slaughter
houses are of later invention. Far am

perfect trees let the curtain drop.
"And the evening and the morning
were the third day."
THO 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
clean Other worlds are to hove in
sight. This little ship OF the earth has
seemed to have all the ocean of i'm
lnensity to itself But mightier craft
are to be hailed today on the high seas
of space First the moons white sail
appears and does very we'll until the
sun bursts upon the scene. The light
that on the previous three mornings
was struck from an especial word now

One for the day. the others for the
night. 1t seemed as if they had all
within twentyfour hours been created.

And the stars come out, those street
lamps OF heaven, those keys of pearl,
upon which Ged's fingers play the music
of the spheres How bright they look
in this oriental evening! Constella-

FLYING AND SWIMMING CREATURES.
Now it is Friday morning in the first
week of the worlds existence. Water,
but not fin swimming it; mir, but not
wing flying it. 1t is silent world.
Can it be that it was made only for
vegetables But bark! There is a
swirl and a splashing in all the four
rivers of Pson. Ghon. Hiddekel and
Euphrates. They are all aswiln with
life, some darting like arrows through
split crystal, and Others quiet in dark
pools like shadows. Everything from
spotted trout to Dchemoth; all colored,
all shaped, the ancestors OF tinny tribes
that shall by their wonder of construc-
ton confound the Agassizes, the Cuviers
and the Linneuses and the ichthyolo-
gists of the more titan six Thousand
years following this Friday the first
week. And while stand on tho banks
of these paradisaical rivers watching
these flnny tribes hear a wllirr in the
air, and | look up and behold wings
wings of larks, robins doves, eagles,
Hamingoes, albatrosses, brown thresh-
ers. Creatures of all color-blue as if
dipped in the skies, fiery as if they had
flown out OF the sunsets, golden as if
they had taken their morning bath in
buttercups. And while am studying
the c,,lors they begin to carol and chirp
and coo and twitter aud run up and
down the scales of music that they
must have heard at heavens gate.
