HOW ADAM WAS PUNISHED.
A prominent pastor tells this story : — " I /visited a certain school one day where Bible instruction was part of the daily course, and in order to te6t the I children's knowledge asked some questions. One class of little girls looked particularly bright, and I asked the tallest one, ' What sin did Adam commit?' " ' He ate forbidden fruit.' " ' Rio-ht. Who tempted AdamP' " ' Eve.' " ' Not really Eve, but the serpent. And how was Adam punished?' " The girl hesitated, and looked confused. Behind her sat a little eight-year-old, who raised her hand, and said, ' Please, pastor, I know.' " ' Well, tell us. How was Adam punished ?' '"He had to marry Eve.' "
