Hail to the Prince and the Princess

186 IMPROVEMENT ERA. Father's person, the counterpart of his nature, and yet at the same time was a man—it is neither unscriptural nor unphilosophical to hold that God, even the Father, was also a man, and is now a per- fected, exalted man. (Concluded in February number.) HAIL TO THE PRINCE AND THE PRINCESS! FOR THE ERA, BY DR. GEO. H. BR1MHALL. Hail to the prince and the princess, Whose home was a palace above; God called, and they went on a mission, To fill earth with an offspring of love. The earth was invaded by legions Of merciless soldiers of sin, Defeated in heaven, and banished, But eager, new war to begin. Brave couple, oh where is their equal, This side of the realm of the Gods? Their valor seems almost immortal— One willing pair facing such odds! They struggled, were "captured, not conquered;'1 From home, a Deliverer came. Then, ransomed, they the conflict renewed, And conquered, at last, in His name. So, hail to the man of fair Eden, Whom Satan could never deceive! And hail to the woman, man's helpmeet, Illustrious Adam and Eve. They'll stand at the head of earth's races, A God and a Goddess on high, With glory, dominions and powers, While time rolleth endlessly by. Then pity the arrogant critic, The skeptic that dares to deride The courage of Adam, the hero, Or sneer at his heroine bride.
