To Mrs, Bowers.

OF the readers nt The CR.sSgr, that
asserted nothing IN my article II,

true: the sister makes it out that
d'd, but simply stated that Mr.
Garrett had skipped those scrip'nr..s,
snce had subscribe for The CREs.
Z SIT. which vas Uui 4 shOrl li.ne apo.
( lid no, say how long had take,,
the CnEs,tr. neither did ultimate
that hose scriptures had not been
used heretofore. And as the readers
have seen size wcnt on and denied
every WORD asserted; but still at
tnrn all
pen these line. in defence Of the
belief Of the majority OF the people,
or in behalf u the zone man theory"
nOw lsald, previously TIA, ! could
produce more scripture, in behalf OF
my theory, but it has not becom..
necessary. Bat ON The lltier part Of
this article | will state one or Two
more; but now viii attempt 10
strengthen that y Heb J have already
produced think the sister has pro-
duced abou, all the favorable scrip
lure 10 the two man theory that
can be found 10 the bible in fact !
don't believe that there is but one or
two points that appears TO stand in
behalf Of such theory, while there are
many good, strong points that stand
against them And their strongest
pom, Is the NV. OF the Ist, chapter
ol Gen.
80 God created man in his owu
image IL he image of God created he

Gen ~,
This scripture is found 10 I've where
Adam and Eve Was created as the
billie p'cinly says they were created.
in tho V. : CHI, % Genesis. and |
don't think that there is another pas.
sage OF scripture that plainly says
that there were male and female
created unless i, refers US back Ia this
said point, il not, tins passage is I'm.
douh,edly where Adam and Eve
were created.
Now in answer TO sister Bowers
questions which she asked in regard
10 the ) V. OF the Oh. OF Gcr. The
first question she asked was did !

can have an opinion OF this matter,
but il is simply our assumptions, ard
