The Second Adams Children.
The Bible teachers that Jesus is the
second Adam. The first Adam had the
privilege of being the father of a hu-
man race, in the image and likeness of
God and blessed with everlasting life.
TO enjoy a Worldwide paradise. All
this Adam lost by disobedience and
came under divine sentence of death,
called in the scriptures the curse"
He cannot eXtricate himself, and there
fore mi extricate his children from
this calamity. Neither can any Of his
children get free from the curse, nor
give to God a ransom for his fellows.
Jesus left the glory which He and
with the father, INC came unto the
world q man. On the contrary, the
scriptures tell us that the man,
Christ Jesus" was holy, harmless, UNI
dcfiled and separate from Sinners
He had the right to produce a human
race as instead of Adams race; but

gave His life Specifically. In Gods
due time this sacrifice will be made
applicable to cancel all the claims OF
justice against mankind on account of
original sim.
In harmony with the fathers plan,
Jesus purposes that as the second
Adam He will take over the Adamic
race, and adopt as many of them as
may be willing as His own family.
This, in the Bible, is called ~"regenera-
ton Regeneration means to generate
life agian, Jesus has the right to give
life to Adam and to his race, having
purchased that right with the sacri-
flee of His own life. He died. the just
one for the unjust; and all the rights
which He had to an earthly life He
may therefore give justly to Adam and
TO as many of Adams children as will
accept it.
The process of this regeneration will
be very different from the process of
the first generation. The life which
will come to mankind will come
through the word. MY words are spirit

His words work in them ito will and
to do in harmony with the laws of tho
kingdom, they will gradually rise out
of their weaknesses and imperfections,
to perfection Of human nature.
"The Everlasting Father"
We should carefully note that the
man Jesus, was not the everlasting fa~
Their. The man Jesus gave himself a
prtce-a corresponding price
for the man Adam, in order that he
might become the second Adam and
have the rightflll authority to give
everlasting life to Adam and his chill
drcn.
Jesus did not become the second Ad-
am until he had finished laying down
the ransom-pricc. So long as Jesus
maintained his earthly life he would
