Paul of Abel, the second son ol* our first fotlier, Adam, whose short me- morial in the Old Testament, seems to have been recorded as the type offthe history of this wicked world ; where what is good and noble, and pure, and true, seems to be foreign and alien, and to provoke the most malignant efforts of diabolical hatred. If we are ever tempted to forget that this world is not the home of goodness and truth, ever recurring experience brings it back to us ; the in- tenser malice of our powerfu...l and eternal enemy is aroused at the nearer prospect of their triumph ; and the history of Abel recurs in every page of the larger history of universal humanity. The second son of our first father, Adam — the second person born into this world — the first person who died under the curse pronounced upon all mankind ; the first victim of that terrible root of sin and crime planted in the world by the transgression of his parents, which bore fruit instantly in full and dire perfection of evil, was the inno- cent sufferer under the greatest, most dreadful crime of all that humanity is capable of — murder — assassination.
