The Default of Adam and Eve

75:0.1Af­ter more than one hun­dred years of ef­fort on Uran­tia, Adam was able to see very lit­tle prog­ress out­side the Gar­den; the world at large did not seem to be im­prov­ing much. The re­al­iza­tion of race bet­ter­ment ap­peared to be a long way off, and the sit­u­a­tion seemed so des­per­ate as to de­mand some­thing for re­lief not em­braced in the orig­i­nal plans. At least that is what of­ten passed through Adam’s mind, and he so ex­pressed him­self many times to Eve. Adam and his mate were loyal, but they were iso­lated from their kind, and they were sorely dis­tressed by the sorry plight of their world.
