BILE in % years Allowing that there
were seven pairs on earth at the end
of the first IL years, and that the pop
ulation will double in % years under
favorable circumstances, and Cain was
12S years old when he knew his wife
in the land of Nod, that would have
made the population of the world then
1870. Allowing that half were fe-
male, which proportion holds good in
every land on the globe, that would
have made $685. buXom damsels from
whom old Cain could have selected a
wife, good enough to satisfy the most
fastidious devotee with matrimonial
inclinations buzZing in his belfrey. Yet
lot Of fellows are going to hell to-
night because they wonder where Cain
got his wife.
Inconsistencies
In Our Own Lives
The inconsistency is not in the Bible
but in your rotten life.
I preached in town one time in
Iowa and l said to barkeeper, What
are you in this dirty business for?"
He was pretty good fellow and he
said, well, Bill, couldn't be in the
business if it wasn't for church mem
bers voting for me-
If there is anything that makes me
feel like a woman that swallows a fly
she feels like xpectorating-it is to
have some peanut-brained wise guy,
| some old whisky-soaked rummy telling
that that if it wasn't for the votes
of people who stand on the church rec
ords-." ] tell you l would rather
be devil in he'll than indorse anything
| like that.
! The Bible says, "Woe unto him that
putteth a bottle to his neighbor's lips .
Somebody says, THE Bible, said
/, that?" Huh, Perhaps you can tell
me why God made woman out of the
rib of Adam. Why didn't He make her
out of the dust of the earth like He
did MANI"
| Now what are you going to say to a
fool like that? In the first place, |
wasn't there In the second place, |
never asked God, and in the third
place it is none of my business. You
might as we'll ask me why, when d
woman has a loaf of bread and she
wants to make a sandwich, why she
doesn't make another leaf? Why is il
easier to cut off from the loaf already
made.
So there are people who lose sight
of all these beautiful truths which il
put into practice would change this ole
sinful world into a paradise of bless
