the North Pole as the cradle of the human race. Dr. Winchelles 
tells in “ Preadamites” his belief that the Garden of Eden, the first 
abode of man, is to be sought in the now submerged continent 
situated at the North Pole. 
Count Saporta says we are inclined to remove to the circum- 
polar regions of the north, the probable cradle of primeval humanity, 
and he says that this theory best agrees with the data to hand. 
Prof. F. Muller, also Dr. Moritz Wagner, both eminent anthropolo- 
gists, place the cradle of the human family in the Polar regions. 
Prof. William F. Warren, of the Boston University, also Mr. G. 
Hilton Scribner, of New York, men with much learning and ability, 
have no hesitation in stating plainly that in their opinion the 
evidence is conclusive that the earth first cooled at the Poles, and 
that there life to plants, animals and man first began. 
Were we to turn to mythology and classics, much evidence 
could be produced in favor of the Polar region being the first abode 
of mankind. 
I have shown that those parts which received the least heat 
from the sun, and under centrifugal influence cooled first, were at 
the North Pole. I have brought an array of scientific fact to sup- 
port and confirm the assumption, the force of which must be 
apparent. I have, moreover, shown that the creation story in 
Genesis, when properly interpreted, points to the North Pole as the 
place where was situated the Garden of Eden, and I have confirmed 
the same by astronomical geography, physical geology, prehistoric, 
climatology, paleontological botany, paleontological zoology and 
anthropology. I have shown that these all point to the Pole as the 
place from whence came the earliest life to plants, animals and man. 
Man began life on earth in that paradise at the gravitating 
centre of the earth ; being driven from thence he wandered home- 
less with weary feet, finding, like the dove, no rest or shelter. He 
by the eye of faith seeks that heavenly paradise looking to Christ, 
that magnetic gravitating centre of both earth and heaven, who said : 
“‘ And I, if I be lifted up, will draw all men unto Me.”
