_Answer_. My own opinion is, that it was either "nourished by the glare of volcanoes in the moon or "it may have gotten sufficient light from rivers "of molten granite;" or, "sufficient light might have "been emitted by the crystallization of rocks." It has been suggested that light might have been fur- nished by fire-flies and phosphorescent bugs and worms, but this I regard as going too far. _Question_. Do you think that light emitted by rocks would be sufficient to produce trees? _Answer_. Yes, with the assistance of the "Aurora "Borealis, or even the Aurora Australis;" but with both, most assuredly. _Question_. If the light of which you speak was sufficient, why was the sun made? _Answer_. To keep time with. _Question_. What did God make man of? 366 _Answer_. He made man of dust and "omnipo- "tence." _Question_. Did he make a woman at the same time that he made a man? _Answer_. No; he thought at one time to avoid the necessity of making a woman, and he caused all the animals to pass before Adam, to see what he would call them, and to see whether a fit companion could be found for him. Among them all, not one suited Adam, and Jehovah immediately saw that he would have to make an help-meet on purpose. _Question_. What was woman made of? _Answer_. She was made out of "man's side, out of his right side," and some more "omnipotence." Infi- dels say that she was made out of a rib, or a bone, but that is because they do not understand Hebrew. _Question_. What was the object of making woman out of man's side? _Answer_. So that a young man would think more of a neighbor's girl than of his own uncle or grand- father. _Question_. What did God do with Adam and Eve after he got them done? _Answer_. He put them into a garden to see what they would do. 367 _Question_. Do we know where the Garden of Eden was, and have we ever found any place where a "river parted and became into four heads"? _Answer_. We are not certain where this garden was, and the river that parted into four heads cannot at present be found. Infidels have had a great deal to say about these four rivers, but they will wish they had even one, one of these days. _Question_. What happened to Adam and Eve in the garden? _Answer_. They were tempted by a snake who was an exceedingly good talker, and who probably came in walking on the end of his tail. This supposition is based upon the fact that, as a punishment, he was condemned to crawl on his belly. Before that time, of course, he walked upright. _Question_. What happened then? _Answer_. Our first parents gave way, ate of the forbidden fruit, and in consequence, disease and death entered the world. Had it not been for this, there would have been no death and no disease. Suicide would have been impossible, and a man could have been blown into a thousand atoms by dynamite, and the pieces would immediately have come together again. Fire would have refused to 368
