Dipision Of Adam into populated with q
tuo parts. race Of his spe-
c,es. md amongst all the creatures
none was suitable as companion and
mother of his offspring. Thus again Is
shown that Adam was distinctly DIFF
ferent from apes and all other crea-
lures under his control. He was IN
the likeness of LIS Creator. Other
Scriptures show us that 1t Is the d.
vine purpose that the sex quality IN
humanity shall be dropped.
The division Of Adam Into TWO
parts left the headship with the male
but deprived him Of some Of his SYM
pathetic qualities. His wife had less
of the masculine and aggressive traits;
but the two were perfectly adapted 70
each other and fulfilled each others
ideals. The fall from Gods favor has
affected both sexes. producing e1-
tremes of coarseness and effeminacy,
and robbing the marriage relationship
Of it's ideal happiness. The Restitu'
ton or resurrection to be brought
about BY Messiah's Kingdom will not
mean the restoration Of sex perfec-
tons, but the gradual perfectlng OF
each individual in the image Of God.
BY One Mans Disobedienee.
Note the consistency OF the Bible
theory which necessitated the division
of one man into male and female. Goo
purposed that the entire race must
proceed from the one man. He fore
saw sin and provided for mans recoV-
ery. IL two or more individuals had
Binned. it would have required just as
many redeemers. according to the d.
vine Law. IAN eye for an eye"
mans life for a mans life. God IN
tended only one glorious Redeemer,
therefore the entire race sprang from
one man-Adam-that las by man
came death. by a man should come
the resurrection Of the dead."-1 Corfu
thians 1921.
Second Adam and Second Eve.
Adam and Eve in some respects fore
shadowed Christ and the Church. Je-
sus, personally, is the Great Savior,
whose death constitutes the Ransom
price for the entire race. During Ills
Millennial Reign He will give back
earthly life to Adam and his posterity.
But before reDenerqting the por'd God
has arranged that first from the
wound in Christ's side. fguratively. an
Elect Church shall be formed. to be
the second Eve. on the spirit plane. as
He is the Second Adam. The Church
will he the mother Of humanity during
the Millennium.

State and national elections, Thanks

the two last may perhaps be in order.
As for Christmas, never priced 1t very

Is thai the date of our Savior's birth,
which il pretends to celebrate, is not
known within several years; to say
nothing OF the month or day of the
month on which 1t occurred.
There were several Christmas trees in
town and probably all were enjoyed,
especially by the children. Not being
convenient to leave home, q small tree
was made to answer instead, making a
very good substitute and pleasing the
little folks all the same.
New Years day came In rather more
quiet and still than it did in Boston,

From the First Crude instrument to its

In the beginning the plano was a
harp shaped piece Of wood. having two
or three strings. From time to time
more strings were added until the
citharu was Invented. This wis an In
strument In the shape Of capital +.
with ten strings stretched across the
open space Many centuries afterwar1
musicians conceived the idea Ut
,,rctchiug strings across IN open box
About the year 1900 this wus done. the
.iulcimer made its appearance. and the
strings were struck with hammers
For another hundred years or 50
these hammers were held In the hands.
and then some genius invented key
honrd. which. being struck by the tn
gers. CAUSED the hammers To strike the
strings. This was called clavicy'
therium. or keyed citharu. and from
time to time II was modified and ini'
proved.
During Queen Elizabeth's time II
was called virginia. and then a spinet
because the hammers were covered
with the spines Of quilts, which struck
and caught the strings and produced
the sound
