How Big Game Hunting Is Made
Easy in Africa

Some wiseacres, who have recently
sojcurned in Africa, have limited that
hunting has been made wondrously
easy for Colonel Roosevelt. says Cap
tain Fritz Duquesne in the Travel
magazine for May. They have ac-
quired an idea that game is drugged
for the purpose of lessening the

A Defense of Adam

l thought that, among all men,
there had ever been universal con-
tempt for that trait of Adams char
acter which prompted him to clay it
on" Eve, instead of shouldering his
own guilt Watson's Magazine.
1t is surprisingly strange that so
many persons, many of them Bible
readers, hold the view expressed in
the above paragraph.
AS a matter Of fact, according to
the Bible, Adam, because Of his
great love for Eve, made the great
est sacrifice in the history of the
world, except the sacrifice of Jesus
Christ, of which Adams sacrifice was
the antelope. In other words, Ad-
ANS love and sacrifice for Eve was
an illustration of the love and sacri-
flee of Jesus for his people.
The Bible tells us that Eve trans
crossed because she was deceived.
She carried the fruit to Adam. The
Bible tells us that Adam was not de-

woman by her act of disobedience
had separated herself from Adam
forever. No act of hers could regain
her lost purity and innocence, nor
abate the death penalty which rested
upon her.
But Adams love for her knew no
abatement. Doubtless her pitiful
condition rather intensified it. At

are represented as His bride
Nowhere on the pages of history,
either sacred or profane, are there
such illustrious examples of self-de-
NAL and sacrifice as those of Adam
and the man Christ Jesus.
