there were seven pairs on earth at the
end Of the first twelve years, and that
population will double in twenty-five
years, and that Cain was 12S years old
when he knew his wife-that would have
made the then known population OF the
world 1870. Allowing that half were fe-
male. which proportion holds good
throughout the world. that would have
made 5.aSS buXom damsels from whom old
Cain could have chosen a wife good
enough to satisfy the most fast .dious
devotee with matrimonial inclinations
buzzing in his belfry.
Yet a lot OF fellows arc going to hell
because they wonder where Cain got his
wife!

One night when was assistant secre-
tary of the Young Mems Christian asso-

is now bishop, speak In Faneuil hall. In
the audience was a prominent lawyer. l

He replied: GIVE me one instance where
the laws of nature have ever been abro-

creation" said; That's easy. Sit down
and i've me something hard" l said:

exceptional experience Cmeaning Jesus),
proves that only by the concurrence OF
sex are beings formed. And vet my
friends, beings have been and are being
virginally produced. not only In the her

orders of MIXTURE. Don't you know that
every dRne in a hive of bees is virgin

laid by a virgin queen? And Costello

This does not prove that Jesus was

Pose that II God can and does abrogate
the laws down there, He could not abro-

Another fellow says: IL would do the

What makes the di1erence?"
will first call your attention to that

Where did he get the plural?
I believe when He created man He
gave him a body like unto the glorious
body of our Saviour. He gave him
mind to dominate brute creation. Man
was not complete. The Bible says that
God breathsd into man the breath OF
life. and man became living soul.
