One is that of the Garden of Eden, Here in this virgin beauty, Adam experienced something that seems to have made a "voice print” on all the human family. He experienced unlimited space, and he went about giving names to things. Some primeval memory, some vestigal reminder causes man-ail men-to be eternally restless, and he never stops giving names to things...everything-his food, his children, even the winds that blow become Chinooks, or Northers, or Moriah. These ancient memories can be made productive: YOU can make the lives of others your garden; YOU can see men as members of your famiiy and treat them as brothers; YOU can let the service you render give names to things like "generous love,” "heartfelt compassion,” and "Godly awe and reverence.” This Series Made Possible By These Business Firms And Individuals Who Support Our Right To Worship Freely.
