Excerpt from The Son of Man: His Preparation, His Life, His Work

IF we consult the poets, the philosophers, and his torians of all the nations of the world, we find every where, and without exception, The Golden Age at the origin of things: Aurea pn'ma sata est aetas (ovid, Metamorph, lib. The Golden Age is always represented as a period of innocence and happiness, characterized by the absence of all evil and the presence of all good. No sickness, no sorrow, no cruel separations, no anxiety, no trouble of any kind. The earth yielded of itself its treasures and riches, its flowers and fruits. Virtue was easy, and vice was unknown. Man was the King of creation, and all nature was subject to him - the fowls of the air, the beasts of the earth, and the fishes of the sea.
