tons speak louder than words"
The serpent ate Of the forbidden fruit
in the sight of the woman and then
manifested its wisdom. The woman
perceived. She craved knowledge.
Could it be that God wished TO keep
them in ignorance, and for that reason
had forbidden their eating OF the fruit!
Such disloyal thoughts should have
been promptly spurned. But the insid-
ious poison worked. She was not de-
ceived as respects the wrongdoing. but

serpent was not poisoned by the fruit.
she did not realize that the poison to
her was that of disobedience, bringing
the death sentence. Adams eating OF
the fruit was with full knowledge of
the result. In love with his wife. he
ate knowingly, preferring TO die with
her rather than to live without her.

mints. Cut flowers adorned the
room.
The class which Mr.. Trimble

Brotherhood and Theosophical
Society of the World, and who
first introduced the open air Greek
Theatre in America, was in Port
land, Maine, recently. during the
engagement of The Servant in
the House" in that city. She was
asked by the editor of the Port
land Evening Express to write
her views of his famous play for
that paper. We quote in part her
review:
The production of The Ser

Gently witnessed at the jefferson
Theatre, is symbolic play, one of
rare merit 1t should been seen
and studied, for in its suggestions
it is replete with moral and spirit
ual principals for old and young.
1t is an exposition of the heart
and soul of man, a spiritual drama.
From beginning to end it is re-
freshing, wholesome and uplifting.
1t appeals to the eyes and ears of
our ETHICAL senses, and 1 welcome

ton has all eady begun through the
drama for the benefit of mankind"

be seen at the Tabb Opera House

true teaching Of the Bible.
The curse which God pronounced
against our race is not eternal torment
at the hands Of devils; but as the Apos-
tie says. THE wages of sin is death"
The remedy is a resurrection, secured
through the Redeemer's death at Cal
vary. The gift Of God is eternal life,
through Jesus Christ our Lord" All
experience the death penalty. All will
have opportunity sometime Of regain
ing everlasting life through Messiah's
redemptive work and His Kingdom.
For a Little Flock, who in this Age
have obeyed the Masters Voice, God
has provided glorious things, far su-
perior to anything that Adam lost. To
those who walk in Jesus footsteps.
God promises a share with the Master
in His glorious Kingdom.
The Lesson of This Study.
If our Christian fOrefathers could
properly have appreciated today's les
son. they would have known what the
Bible teaches respecting the wages of
SIM" and have seen how seriously pub
lie thought had drifted away from the
Divine testimony, TO doctrines of de
mons" How distinctly God fOrewarn-
ed our first parents that eating the for
hidden fruit would bring upon them
the death penalty. After they had dis
Obeyed. God drove them out of Eden.
that the penalty pronounced against
them might be accomplished. Had
they continued in Eden. eating of its
DEMONSTRATING fruits, they would have
lived indefinitely.
Why Evil Was Permitted.
God foreknew the fall OF man. before
the foundation Of the world. and pro
vided the Lamb OF God TO take away
the sin of the world. God had a glo-
rious purpose interviewer with His per-
mission of sin. which the majority but
family discerned until lately. Jesus
intimated that shortly before the es,
adjustment of His Kingdom His
Church will understand features OF the
Divine Plan previously kept secret
they will have an appreciation of Gods
purposes, and His reasons for having
permitted sin and death for six thou
sand years.
The Temptation Of Eve.
How Lucifer and holy angels became
disloyal TO God we will inquire into
later. In this lesson Lucifer, or Satan.
