en-. and whom the Greeks called Zeus),
was 20 angsred at Prometheus, because
he had stolen hre from heaven. that he
resolved to ayenge himself upon man.
So he called upon Vulcan to fashion .
being In godlike form from earth and
water. All the gods Joined In endow-
ing the new being with attractive
qualities or those qualified to make
mischief. Minerva gave her artist
knowledge. Venus contributed beauty,
and Mercury made her artful and de-
signing. The 0races and the Seasons
clothed her. and Jupiter christened her
Pandora. or all-gifts. Thus endowed,
the new creation was sent to Prone
theus. who received her coldly, for he
was Suspicious Of gifts from the gods.
Then Mercury took her to Epimsthsus,
who was much more trustful than his
brother. He married her and was hap
py until Mercury brought . box which
he conhded to the care of Pandora, with
strict instructions that she should not
open Il. Her curiousity, however, was
too strong. and she undid the fasten-
ings Then At once there burst out all
the Vices. sins. crimes and sufferings
that can afflict man. for Jupiter had
seen that the box was well filled.

to retain and preserve for man Hope,
which always follows suffering and IL
the chief CONSIDER of the race.
