504. Where is the New Eden?

You may be laughed at in this world for insisting that God put Adam into

a deep sleep and made a woman out of one of his ribs, but you will be

crowned and glorified in the next. You will also have the pleasure of

hearing the gentlemen howl there, who laughed at you here. While you

will not be permitted to take any revenge, you will be allowed to

smilingly express your entire acquiescence in the will of God. But where

is the new Eden? No one knows. The one was lost, and the other has not

been found.
