These two Dlaks, natives of Borneo, holding
up a cassowary, giant bird that they have just killed

Strange the creatures that inhab this earth and
that originally according to Bible teachings, all inhabited
the Garden of Eden with Adam and Eve.
1t must have been intensely interesting to Adam and
Eve after they had both been created, after Adam
of his sleep and found Eve and his rib stopped pain
ing him. to walk around the Garden and the animals.
This cassowary bird that lives in Borneo, Australia,
and few other places, must have interested them espe
cially. You how big bird it is how powerful the
heavy with which swiftly and kicks its enemies
to death?
Standing at full height it is as tall man, the
biggest bird living except the ostrich.
much bigger bird the roc once lived this earth
and undoubtedly delighted little Cain and Abel they
played together in the Garden but it has vanished with
many other species that have died out.
Concerning this strange cassowary bird, the evolu
tionists who think that they know everything say eyou
ton EXPLAINS
They say the hot climate in which it lives the land
which has had to and fight has developed those
strong, powerful feet.
They call your attention to the curious wings which
have very big quilts, but feathers them, and say
that this bird like others, once had regular wings and
regular feathers and feet.
But it became so big and strong that didn't NEED
fly any longer being able to take of itself on the
ground. So the wings gradually disappeared They point
to the fact that fish found in lakes underground where the
light never penetrates blind, their eyes having dis
appeared, because they no longer needed them.
Instead of regular feathers this bird has queer feath
like hair and thick bony helmet it has
its head with very big eyes to watch for its enemies
The Dyak hunter the left, probably would never
have got this cassowary if white men hadn't come along
and given him gun in place of his bow and arrow The
poor cassowray had only his legs and his feet to defend
him against the gun, which was hardly fair.
You are privileged American citizen to think
what you like about evolution about the earhs crea
but millions of the faithful prefer to accept the tale OF
creation as told in the Book of Genesis.
If you ask them how polar bears cassowarys, lions
rnoceroses elephants wolves tigers monkeys owls and
all the rest could have lived in the climate in the
one Garden of Eden you do not weaken their faith.
They will tell you it is quite probable that the Gar.
den of Eden had VARIOUS climates 1t might have been
cold enough for polar bears on the north side, warm
enough for cassowrays and lions the south side.
This arrangement would have given Adam and Eve
and the children, right in their own Garden the benefit
of different climates Summer when they wanted it, Win
when they wanted it, with appropriate animals That
how the rich have it now going South when they like
it. or Canada-Winter and Summer in the same month
Anyhow this is an interesting bird It is sad to realize
that like other inhabitants of the orig
