It begins to look like there would be a water famine if care is not taken to stop all leaks and waste of water. Last week people on the hill were unable to get water as the pressure was so low that it would not rise to that height. There certainly must be some great waste of water as it is very early in the season for it to be low in the reservoir from natural causes or normal use.

Daughters also were born to them, and later another son, Abel, of a very different disposition from their first born. The experience of life may have mellowed their hearts. Abel's disposition indicates that he had a contrite heart, and desired to please God. If parents realized to what extent mental conditions affect their offspring, all would strive to bestow favorable birth traits on their children. Years passed. Cain and Abel were inspired by the promise respecting the Seed of the woman, and the hope for recovery by Divine favor.They approached the Lord with offerings to receive a blessing. Abel's sacrafice of animal life God accepted, because it typified the necessity for Jesus' death as the basis for forgiveness of sin. God's rejection of Cain's offering teaches that without shedding of blood there can be no remission of sins. Cain should have procured an animal for acceptable sacrafice, in obedience to the Devine will. Instead, he allowed anger, malice, hatred, and strife to burn in his heart, and became a murderer. St. Paul says that Abel's blood cried to God for justice against Cain. But Jesus' blood cried to God for mercy on the sinner. Every injustice cries to God for justice. By a special covenant, Jesus and His Elect Church lay down their lives sacrificially for Adam and his race. The "better sacrifices" completed. Restitution follows.  |
