Dear Margery Doom:
While going over some old news
paper clippings l found the follow
ing piece, riddle which was pub
lished in the old Newark Adver-
tiser. / wonder if you could give
me its answer. Evidently the per-
son who sent it to the paper never
looked for the reply. Yours for sue
cess, p. S.
Orange.
A RIDDLE.
Our God made Adam out of dust,
But in His wisdom made me first;
My body, though he made com
plete,
Had neither arms nor legs nor
feet.
My ways and acts he did control
And fashioned me without a soul;
A living being l became,
And Adam first gave me a NAME
Then from his presence with
drew,
No more of Adam ever knew:
But God, whose purpose none can
see,
Then put a living soul in me
And soon that soul He did re-
claim,
ohio changed in this, not
changed in name).
And when from me that soul had
fled,
1 was the same as when first
made.
And without arms, or feet, or soul,
| travel now from pole to pole;
And when | travel over our
sphere,
l seldom on the earth appear.
l labor hard both night and day,
For fallen man much light dis
play;
Thousands of people, young and
old,
Shall at my death more light be-
hold,
To heaven I shall never go,
Nor to the grave, nor hell below
Dear me! You've almost made
my column late for the press. j
dropped everything to try and
figure out the answer to this riddle,
which is new to me.
My guess as to the answer is that
1t is the sun. The reference to
Adam naming the mysterious OBJ
ject might be a double-play on
the word, Adam having really
named his own son.
