But there is another animal, the serpent, that was "more subtle than any beast of the Meld which the Lord God had made." Gon. 3:1, What became of him? Was he stored away in the ark because he, like INoaU, was temperate? Or was God so "merciful" as to overlook the little slip he made in tempting Eve to involve the whole human race, including all animals, in everlasting ruin? lie ayd his wife must have been taken in by Noah, or else, crawled in and hid themselves under the hay alongside thosedemijohns; eith er this or they were mighty "good swim mers.

Cruden, the greatest Bible reader of his age, treats it thus: "Several of the ancients were ol opinion that wine was not in use before the doiiiire, and that Noah was the sirst who used the liquor. It wine, sav thev. had been known before the tlood, Abel would not have failed to bring an otter ing of it to the Lord, and Noah would ave been on his KUiird so as not, to ha ye drank of it to e.icess.
