lit held but he was made subject to
God. The temptation suggested to Eve
by the serpent was that she should be.
come equal with God, by eating Of
the fruit Of "the tree of knowledge"
The interesting implication is that the
lengths Of dedication of man to which
our times seem inclined to go is more
than impious; 1t Is a profound sin.
AS one sin always follows another,
so this sin of disloyalty to the crea-
his place, or to assume equality with
him, followed logically after the
first temptation, which was to doubt
God. The tempter subtly intimated
that God did not tell the truth, and
that his word was not to be taken
at face value. That Is still his
master temptation. If men really
believed that God means what he
says in his book. there would be a
profound alteration of conduct. But
the tempter has led them astray up
on this point. They fall by failing to
give God his place as a righteous,
covenant-keeping, pre-eminent Lord.
The Spelling Of the ldyi.
Written large In all teachings
should be the great truth that Gods
program for man was one of perfect
bliss. He designed and desired that
man should walk with him in fell
lowship and friendship. But the
woman ate of the forbidden fruit,
repudiated Gods law, and incurred
the divine displeasure. Then fell the
great black curtain between man and
God. In newness of self-conscious-
ness which betokened the loss Of
their innocence, Adam and Eve found
that the company of God was not
congenial. Just as the wilfuiiy sin
full do not enjoy the society of sin
cere Christians, so Adam and Eve
Stunned the society of Jehovah, and

Challenged by Jehovah, Adam I'M
CALAMITY laid the blame upon his
wife. AS one old saint used to say,
adam was no gentleman He failed
to accept responsibility. for him
self and for his family, for doubtless
Eve had thought that she was shar-
ing with him good thing when
she proffered him the fruit that the
tempter had made appear desirable
in her eyes.
For their sin. Adam and Eve were
driven forth from the garden, and
from their pristine state of purity
and bliss. They had incurred the
worst of fates, separation from
familiar fellowship with God. In
Copenhagen there is a striking mod
ern statue of Adam and Eve hear
ing the voice that spelled their fate.
They are afraid and conference.-the
ten, but withal- and the sculptor
has cunningly caught the redeeming
trait in the experience of the first
parents-they have their arms about
each other. and their attitude says,
Gone isEthe garden. gene, is God,
gone is all our bliss; but still we
have each ether" an 7...x c.,f s, 80.
In the very ordeal Of the expulsion
from Eden, man and woman were
drawn closer together It doubtless
has been true In general that man has
acquitted himself more creditably
than Adams first response would
indicate, for he has been the defender
and the protector and the provider OF
the woman God gave him to be his
help meet. =, y,
