DESCRIPTION OF THE
| GARDEN OF EDEN.
| rn asetes
| Billy Sunday severaldaysago quoted
| in a sermon a description of the Garden
| of Eden from Governor Taylor, of
| Tennessee. It is well worth reading
and preserving as it is about as fine
a display of beautiful language .and
beautiful thought as one seldom has
the opportunity to see.
® It might have been a dream of God,
about with blue mountains from whose
moss covered peaks a thousand glassy
streams spread out in mid air and
were like a thousand bridal veils kiss-
ing a thousand rainbows from the sun,
an archipelago of gorgeous colorings
decked with green isles where grape
vines staggered from tree to tree,
drunk with the nectar of their own
clusters; when peach and plum and
blood red cherries, and every kind of
berry, hung like drops of rubies and
pearls—a wilderness of flowers, re-
dolent of eternal spring, and pulsing
with bird song; where dappled fawn
played upon banks of violets; where
leopards peaceful and tame, lounged
in the corpses of the magnolia; and
where lions panted in jungles of roses;
a billowy landscape festooned with
tangled creepers and curtained about
with sweet scented groves of orange
and pomegranates. The air was soft-
encd by a dreamy haze of perpetual
summer: through the mist there flowed
a truculentriver, alternately gleaming
in the sunlight and darkening in em-
erald in the shadows. Down in some
dark vale, fresh from the work shop
of God, slept Adam. No monarch
ever slept on a softer couch and no
earthly potentate was ever draped
with more costly or beautiful tapestry,
and Gud caused to pass upon him a
sleep, and .orth from a painless wound
in his side there sprang a being, blithe-
some as the air, Her hair hung like
strands of gold, her teeth were like
pearls. He gazed upon God’s capsheaf
ot creation, His first thought for the
happiness of man! Eve.
I think Adam must have wooed her
in the morning, when the dew was on
the flower; I think he wooed her at
the noon tide by the river bank; I
think he wooed her when the silvery
moon flecked the feathery palm; I
think the cattle must have departed
in pairs and I can hear the quail
whistle for his mate and the bluejay
and the robin stop quarreling in the
top of ‘the cherry tree, and they hie
and rear their young.
