To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Work is the sweetener of existence, and it is the idle 69 The Religion of the Future man, not the worker, who is apt to be gloomy and despondent.
But this was not the view of the Hebrew scribe. We have seen already that he represents the Deity Himself as needing and enjoying rest, and as especially blessing it. Thus it is not so surprising to find that in his account of the Fall of Man the first penalty inflicted was the obligation to labour.
How different, how much truer a view of the subject ...is given by our great poet in the words : " If all the year were playing holiday, To sport would be as tedious as to work. " Work was the first punishment inflicted on Adam, the second was death. Now of death it has been said, " Death is as natural as life. " This is so true that not man only, but all living creatures, all vegetation, even the celestial orbs suns and worlds- -are by their very constitution limited to a necessary course of progress and dissolution. Yet in the Hebrew scriptures we are informed that death is a punishment inflicted subsequent to their original creation on the human race as the tremendous penalty of a single lapse into disobedience of 70 The Nature of God one pair of human beings at some remote and unascertainable period.
