In
the
name
of
the
Father
and
of
the
Son
and
of
the
Holy
Ghost
.
Amen
.
The
preacher
took
a
chainless
watch
from
a
pocket
within
his
soutane
and
,
having
considered
its
dial
for
a
moment
in
silence
,
placed
it
silently
before
him
on
the
table
.
He
began
to
speak
in
a
quiet
tone
.
--
Adam
and
Eve
,
my
dear
boys
,
were
,
as
you
know
,
our
first
parents
,
and
you
will
remember
that
they
were
created
by
God
in
order
that
the
seats
in
heaven
left
vacant
by
the
fall
of
Lucifer
and
his
rebellious
angels
might
be
filled
again
.
Lucifer
,
we
are
told
,
was
a
son
of
the
morning
,
a
radiant
and
mighty
angel
;
yet
he
fell
:
he
fell
and
there
fell
with
him
a
third
part
of
the
host
of
heaven
:
he
fell
and
was
hurled
with
his
rebellious
angels
into
hell
.
What
his
sin
was
we
can
not
say
.
Theologians
consider
that
it
was
the
sin
of
pride
,
the
sinful
thought
conceived
in
an
instant
:
NON
SERVIAM
:
I
WILL
NOT
SERVE
.
That
instant
was
his
ruin
.
He
offended
the
majesty
of
God
by
the
sinful
thought
of
one
instant
and
God
cast
him
out
of
heaven
into
hell
for
ever
.
--
Adam
and
Eve
were
then
created
by
God
and
placed
in
Eden
,
in
the
plain
of
Damascus
,
that
lovely
garden
resplendent
with
sunlight
and
colour
,
teeming
with
luxuriant
vegetation
.
The
fruitful
earth
gave
them
her
bounty
:
beasts
and
birds
were
their
willing
servants
:
they
knew
not
the
ills
our
flesh
is
heir
to
,
disease
and
poverty
and
death
:
all
that
a
great
and
generous
God
could
do
for
them
was
done
.
But
there
was
one
condition
imposed
on
them
by
God
:
obedience
to
His
word
.
They
were
not
to
eat
of
the
fruit
of
the
forbidden
tree
.
--
Alas
,
my
dear
little
boys
,
they
too
fell
.
The
devil
,
once
a
shining
angel
,
a
son
of
the
morning
,
now
a
foul
fiend
came
in
the
shape
of
a
serpent
,
the
subtlest
of
all
the
beasts
of
the
field
.
He
envied
them
.
He
,
the
fallen
great
one
,
could
not
bear
to
think
that
man
,
a
being
of
clay
,
should
possess
the
inheritance
which
he
by
his
sin
had
forfeited
for
ever
.
He
came
to
the
woman
,
the
weaker
vessel
,
and
poured
the
poison
of
his
eloquence
into
her
ear
,
promising
her
--
O
,
the
blasphemy
of
that
promise
!
--
that
if
she
and
Adam
ate
of
the
forbidden
fruit
they
would
become
as
gods
,
nay
as
God
Himself
.
Eve
yielded
to
the
wiles
of
the
archtempter
.
She
ate
the
apple
and
gave
it
also
to
Adam
who
had
not
the
moral
courage
to
resist
her
.
The
poison
tongue
of
Satan
had
done
its
work
.
They
fell
.
--
And
then
the
voice
of
God
was
heard
in
that
garden
,
calling
His
creature
man
to
account
:
and
Michael
,
prince
of
the
heavenly
host
,
with
a
sword
of
flame
in
his
hand
,
appeared
before
the
guilty
pair
and
drove
them
forth
from
Eden
into
the
world
,
the
world
of
sickness
and
striving
,
of
cruelty
and
disappointment
,
of
labour
and
hardship
,
to
earn
their
bread
in
the
sweat
of
their
brow
.
But
even
then
how
merciful
was
God
!
He
took
pity
on
our
poor
degraded
parents
and
promised
that
in
the
fullness
of
time
He
would
send
down
from
heaven
One
who
would
redeem
them
,
make
them
once
more
children
of
God
and
heirs
to
the
kingdom
of
heaven
:
and
that
One
,
that
Redeemer
of
fallen
man
,
was
to
be
God
's
only
begotten
Son
,
the
Second
Person
of
the
Most
Blessed
Trinity
,
the
Eternal
Word
.
