tit 1i::h "who wius Cnin'-s wife'."'
Air. iJeeclH'i' says :
Tht'i'u is no lajconl of Cain's court
ship or wedding-. .However interest-ni-
to the patties theni-jolves, it is tit
iit interest to us exet pt on the suppo
sition that the nceoiiiU. of Gei:Vsi3 of
the a.renlion of Adam was designed to
exclude the suppoaition that any oth
er people had been created. If Adam
and Kve were the chief progenitor- of
the race, then Cain ami AlAe, it i- in
iVrreti, tuu-t have married their own
siters 21 connection which is shock
ing to the bensibilities of the whole
lac., at a subsequent -tage of tlevelop
ment. liut many txt tlie Fr.tliers of
the Church denied that Adam ;tnd Evo
and their children were tin- only peo
ple on the 'lohi. Th -y titliniied thitC
the text in Genesis very plainly im
j.iit - that tneie were other inhal i a t.
H'sides AtLiiii's taiiuly. They till I-:u
that ver.-e 1-1, of chapter 1, of Uenists,
liuiiily implit that the earth was ill
ready videlj" populated. Cain deptee
altd the senlence, mid replied "ev
er, one that fmdeth shall slay me.-'
1 gi-s plainly not his lamily rout e jt-1011-
lnaL lie teared, for .he tie-irt-d not;
lu he driven forth from them. It was
.the people that he -hould meet when
a wanuerer on the lace ot the eaith.
Who, then, were the people whom
Cam leand to meet when he shtuid
nave gone forth into the sarth '.' It is
also reasoned by scholar-, that the most
natural method of soothing his I'ear.i
would have beii to tell him there are
no oilier people on earth except your
.alherS children. lii-)teadof that the
Lord is represented a- tailing in with
Cain'- impTe-sion respecting; the pi
uiation til the worlil and that he -et u
mark upon Cain, lest tiny finding him
should kill him. iGen. iv.'Sj.) ull
further it is said that Cain, aeperatinir
from h: kindred, went to th' land of
Nod, east of Edom, "anti he buihled u
city after the name of his'son Enoeh."
1 ife fathers very pertinenlly asked
where did the people come from '.
That would beau extraordinary state
of tilmys which should enable Cam to
fill up a city, however small, with his
chihiien ! And it is infered therefore,
Unit there were other people in the
land besides the immediate posterity
of Adam.
If Adam was the only progenitor.
Cam must have married his sister.
1 f tilde were other lines of people oth
er Adams asjt weie then Cam might
have married into another stock.
We do not express any judgement
in the matter. We give our tor.-cs-n
n.Ient the opinions that have be;t'
held in the early days of the church,
but with the statement that t.il mod
ern Christain writers have rejected
them.
But as the origin of rtices has in our
day assumed an important --cientiliu
