than half an hour after applying it the
child was quiet and asleep, and in less
than two weeks was well. Mrs. Ben

THE WORD PARADISE.
It's Earliest Meaning Was an In
closed pIcnsurc Ground.


closed Pleasure Ground.
The earliest meaning OF the word
paradise appears to have been walled
I'm pleasure ground. In the Hebrew II
was "pcrdcs," in the Persian "ferdus,'
and from one or other of these the
Greeks appear TO have derived the
word "paradcisos," from which we get
our own word. We also know that the
ancient monnrcss of Chaldca and AS
syria and also df Egypt reconstructed vast
Enclosures OF forest land for the prcser-
svation of wild animals kept for hunt
ing purposes. and these were also call
cd paradiscs. Thus, the historical
meaning of the word comes to this: \
space protected from all iuCursion from
the outer worla. I'm which those who
were privileged TO enter were able to
indulge In such pleasures as pleased
their fancy.
II Is easy TO see the translation from
the material to the spiritual meaning,
paradise in the latter sense meaning
the place Of the elect or chosen. This
is strikingly borne out 10y the fact that
the favorite battlccry of the Moslems,
whose firm belief IL is that those who
die fighting go straight 10 heaven, was
always Flight! Fight! Paradise! Para
discw And the strong probability Is
that they got the word from the Per
sian campaigns of the eighth century.
The use of the word in its present form
I'm the New Testament is of Greek
origin, and its description as applied
20 the garden of Eden is probably OF
Hebrew origin, dating from the period
Of the captivity.
