In planning the irrigation system OF
Mesopotamia Sir William discovered the
exact location OF the Garden OF Eden 1t
the Junction OF the Tigris and Euphrates.
and he illustrated his lecture with many :
pictures from the supposed site At tho
time the two original settlers went there,
Sir William said. nothing grew In tho
Garden except date palms vines and al.
falfa.
They subsisted on dates and eyervtbip,
went along happily until Eve found hoS
to make wine out OF tn, cranes ana ,b.r
she wasn't satisfied until she had Adj,
drinking IT, He grew dissatisfied vii,
dates as soon as he became addicted tn
drink. and n Is sir XyiiIi.n's iJea ih.'

'''i T., something to cat besides dates
said that II the inundatlon had been 80
extensive as to leave the ark stranded on
top of Mount Ararat the forty days ram
would have had to yield "A precipitation OF
5000 inches day. which is quite
shower. As IA matter Of fact the ancient
word Ararat really meant desert" In the
language OF the flood times, and what
happened was that the rivers oyert,ow.d
and inundated the valley in which Adam
lived. All the settlers for many miles
around hurried over to Noah's to tax"
refuge in his ark and when the food-
receded the ark remained in the valley. =
Sir William said that the ancient flood
sufferers really thought the inundation
had covered the entire world and they
commenced building high towers to ESCAPE
future inundations. The Tower Of Babel
was one OF the first of these. and Will.
1t was under way the people from tn.
surrounding countries all rushed there for
safety in case OF another food. Naturally
there were many languages spoken and
confusion of tongues" was the result
This led the tower builders to believe that ,
God had sent a confusion OF tongues be
cause he was angry over the penetration
OF the towers into heaven
This Is one of me childish stories that
have come down to us, because Il has
pleased God In His wisdom to preserve 1t
for u.s." eaid Sir William.
