their offerings to the Lord. And that immediately after that event, God by special decree, and as a punishment upon Cain for his criminal relations with her, bound them to each other in the relation of husband and wife. [Terrible punishment (!) when according to Carroll their desires were for each other.] After their arrival in the land of Nod, "Cain knew his wife" in the sense that she conceived and bare Enoch; [this negro did (?) that God refers to as his and him]. Just as, after their expulsion from the garden of Eden, Adam knew Eve his wife in the sense that she conceived and bare Cain. (See also Luke 1:36.) Cain and his wife disappear from the records, and all trace of them is lost after the birth of Enoch and the building of the city which Cain named after his son Enoch." [In all this Carroll has nothing to say of Cain's great sin of killing his brother. He loses sight of it in trying to make his sin of offering sacrifice without faith mean that he had a negro paramour.]—"The Negro a Beast," pp. 145, 147.

Prof. Carroll now drops this subject and after showing that Cain did not marry his sister (which no one would claim, as he had none) he proceeds to sum up his argument that he has not made. As we have

given this summary in showing that every point had been proved false, we will omit it here. After this summary of failures he proceeds:

"When called upon to identify this creature of strange flesh which bore Cain offspring as above described [although we have shown that if it were possible to take his construction this creature would have been a male-hence he has a male bearing offspring], science promptly invades the so-called human species, and points to the negro, the lowest of the so-called races of men, as the only creature among the lower kind of flesh with which man may associate himself carnally, and produce offspring which will at once be indefinitely fertile and capable of being taught a knowledge of God and the arts of civilization. [Our Saviour told His disciples to "teach all nations, baptizing them," etc. If Prof. Carroll admits that this beast can be taught the knowledge of God, which he here does, it is the duty of the Christian to teach him and baptize him. What for, I wonder, if he has no soul?]

The history of Cain and his descendants has little to interest, and is practically of no value when viewed from the atheistic standpoint that man is a species

divisible into races. But when viewed in the lights of revelation and the sciences, it is at once transformed into a subject of the most absorbing interest and importance. In the disasters which resulted to Cain from his association with this paramour of strange flesh, we find the most positive evidence of God's utter abhorrence of amalgamation; while in his formation and preservation of the genealogical evidence of his unerring wisdom, his infinite mercy, and of his wondrous love for man in thus making it a matter of Scriptural record [Notice this statement] that there is a beast with which man may associate himself carnally and produce offspring, which will at once be indefinitely fertile, and capable of acquiring a knowledge of God and the arts of civilization."-Ibid, p. 150.

This, dear reader, is the climax to this argument. This is doing more harm than any other falsehood couched in so many words. We have often met with men who believe that the Bible actually makes a record as above stated. We have had them hunting for weeks to find it, by offering One Hundred Dollars to any one who will produce such Scripture. Believing that Prof. Carroll would not have the unmitigated impudence to publish such a statement if
