The connection between the two accounts is not im- portant. It implies that God is con- cerned, ni-t only with rreatin? man. but with forming an idea! environ- ment it>r him an evidence of God's gCKHlnes and loving care. What a'l enchanted garden it is, with tre^s that bestow knowledge and life, and ,-.ni- mak th-it talk! This garden, '.ike "h? f;;r country in ChrU'.'j parable and the road which Chn.'ian Travled in Bunyan'3 ''Pilgrim'-. Progress,'' bc- lonjrs to the map o* the soul rather than to that of the earth. The mo- tive of the story is to explain the uni- \ersal but mysterious fact ot" human sin with its dire consequences. I. THE PROHIBITION, Gen. : 15-17. Life in Eden, though pleasant, xas not Idle. There can be ro genuine happiness without a worthy vocation. So Adam must tend the trees of *.he garden. In his life he was given a wide liberty of choke; he :ou!d eat of any of the trees of the garden. Without this freedom he could not fully 3xpres3 his personality. 3ut there is a limit to human freedom. There was one tree of the garden which was not to be touched the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. Just as the people of the Middle Ages soupht for the fountain of eternal youth, so the ancient; believed "hat certain trees would bestow knowledje, as certain waters would bestow life. Here the forbidden tree is sureiy to be understood as a symbol. It stood as a divine warning against human pre- sumption. It said, ''Thus far shall thou go anii no further." Knowledge of life and the .vorld. which is won by the sacrifice of peace of mind and pur- ity of heart, is both illicit and impious. II. THE TEMPTATION. Gtrr.. 3: 1-5 Never have the stjgvs which lead to sin been depicted with such pene- trating, psychological insight and wi.h. such simple, powerful strokes as he^e Even an ideal environment is not proof against the possibility of ;in. The serpent is not to be understood as the devil of Christian theology, al- though it became identified in later though', with him; it represents simp- ly the agent by which an evil sugg^s- ti^ii came to man. It commenced r>y exaggerating grossly G<_-d's prohibi- tion, as though every tree of the gar- den were under the bar.. It thus sought to create the hnpression that man's lot is unnecessarily hard through the severity of God. The ser- pent seemed more compassionate than God; life, under !\is management, would be less austere. At first :he woman repelled the suspicion that God is unnecessarily harsh. She cor reeled the serpent ; only one tree is prohibited. Ah. she wa* made to talk and about the prohibited tree! The serpent now became very bold and branded God's word as :alse. "Ye shall not surely die," he said. God is, therefore, a tyrant .vr.-> lays down a prohibition, not in the interests of Adam and Eve, but merely to restrai". them from the happiness that might be theirs. Further, in eating the fruit of this tree there is a wondrous I>MI the opening of the eyes. It makes one's soul to feel that one i* goinj: through life like a biir.c man, missing its priceless things. These 1 were the suggestions sown ir. Eve's heart. III. THE SIN, On. f<: 6. 7 The serpent, having done its work, disappeared. Eve's curiosity had been aroused. She looked a: the tree and noticed what she> had not previously observed, that the forbidden f nit was ot pleasant appeara:Kv. Next, 'ier d. sire was kindled. How glorious it must taste. How rrysteri->us its power of bestowing knowledge! The fatal step was taken swiftly and thought- lessly. Then, as sin loves companv. Eve tempted Adam, r.d whenwonw. tempts, man is power'.*** to resist. "The opening of the eyes sptly symbolizes the awakening of con- science. So Ne-wmars *ays. 'They lost Eden, and gained a c^r.scienc*.' The innocence of childhood was gone, and shame and fear can-.e ;r. its place. No doubt the moral i.'.r..:- : .ty which an awakened conscience implies -voutd have been reached, bu: wore slowly. by the way of obedience. It is a fa- miliar fact of life that the unhealthy growth is the more rapid. The child ages more quickly in ways of sin, ind the bad boy usually knowswnuch more of life's good and evi. than ths heai- thy, normal, right-minded boy of his own age." IV. THE CONSEgtENCES, Gen. 3: 7, 3. These early sinners had hoped TO gain knowledge of the highest, out the knowledge they won was merely that they were naked 1 Sin produces shame. For they had now to covsr themselves, and they chose fig-'eaves. Sir. als separates man from his Gvd. In picturesque simplicity the story tells how God walked in his garden in the ciI breezes of the morning r.d how Adam and Ere could not look into his searching eyes. f. _ t First Spring Ah it is well itat gra>- u-jw light to emerald ; That hyacinths in purple and pink unfold; That lilies lift iu sheer and sudden/ whiteness.
