Next tho Lesson Of Good
The forbidden fruit of Eden was
from the tree of the knowledge Of good
and evil. Doubtless the Creator would
eventually have given full knowledge
OF both good and evil to our first par
ents They were merely forbidden an
immediate plunge into knowledge to
their own disadvantage. Craving
knowledge before its due time, Mother
Eve disobeyed her Maker and enticed
her husband into disobedience. The
result has been that instead of learn
Ing the philosophy Of good at first and
OF evil later, they and their race have
been precipitated into lessons respect
ing evil first, with the knowledge Of
good to come later. F.
The holy angels, who have never
the Divine Law, have
continually the lesson Of good-an ap
probation of the Divine character. the
principles of righteousness, etc. Their
lessons in respect to evil they are gain
ing by observation instead OF BY expe
rfence-the way recommended to our
first parents by the Creator, but In
their ignorance rejected.
But God foreknew the course which
His human children would take under
the influence Of temptation; He fore

The great opportunity for the masses
Of our race to turn to the Lord and to
attain everlasting life will be after
the darkness shall have passed, when
the Sun Of Righteousness shall be-
shining forth; after the highway Of
