to hide themselves from that Being, whose eyes are brighter than ten thousand suns ; who filleth heaven and earth with his presence, and from whom no secrets are hid. Slavish fear was another fruit of the fall. When God asked Adam why he hid himself, he replied, " I was afraid. " Ah ! what inward torment did sin pro- duce in the soul of our first parents ! How changed their condition ! They are now afraid to look upon Him whose presence was their heaven and their joy. Impiety and impenitence we...re also the baneful off- spring of the fall. When God charged Adam with eating of the tree whereof he commanded that he should not eat, Adam replied, " The woman whom thou gavest to be with me, she gave me of the tree, and I did eat. " Mark the impiety. "The woman whom thou gavest to be with me ;" thus charging the guilt upon the Almighty : as if he had said, " If thou hadst never given me this woman, I had never sinned against thee. " Oh ! the impious insult upon diving benevolence, goodness, and love.
