Thus, even during the lifetime Of
the first patriarch. many of his
descendants fell into apostasy and
denied the God with whom their
great progenitor had talked face to

From Adam to Noah righteous
men taught and testified OF the
truth. denounced sin and warned
sinners: yet all the while Satan
sowed assiduously the tares of
wickcdness in the hearts of men,
and with such evil success that,
excepting Noah and his household,
the whole human family became
corrupt. So awful was the cOndi-
tion that the foods came and swept
the ungodly race from the earth.
