Where God Smiled and Lingered
There Was Madisonville Built
The Garden of Eden was indeed a
Paradise, a beauty spot of the earth
where fruit and flowers produced per-
petually and weeds wpre not. But
the Garden of Eden was not here in
Madison County, for it is said that
the children of that Garden were dis-
obedient; but here was that other
Garden of Abundance, where mankind
did not need to steal a forbidden fruit
that he might satisfy the craving of
his hunger or symbolize the mistake
of his sinfulness.
There are places where God smiled
then turned His face away, and
rocks, hills and canyons shot their
rugged forms upward, and that land
became torn and wrecked in such
magnitude that mankind looks upon
it with wonderment and says it is
beautiful to the eye. But ti is here—
the Madisonville country—where God
smiled and turned His face and the
earth seemed to know it not, for it
was quiet and moved not, nor did it
heave itself into convuulsions that
would have destroyed the cream of its
face. And as God smiled, it smiled
back at Him, and things of nature
and of beauty and of usefulness be-
gan their growth so serenly wonder-
ful and so beneficial to all mankind
There are places where God smiled
and walked away, leaving the ground
hot, dry and parched, and man calls
these desserts. For some reason
God decided man had no need to live
there. So He smiled again, smiffed
upon the Land of Madison A County
and pronounced it good; and all that
has been made by the Hand of Jeho-
vah has been made good. >
Each land serves its purpose, and
it is here in Madison county that
kind was intended to live and live
joyfully and contentedly.
School Starts
It is here that it was intended for
mankind to multiply and prosper
where the seed he sowed would come
forth in great abundance, yielding
harvests of all that he might need.
And so it came to pass, that in the-
years that have come, Madison Coun-
ty has done as it was bidden. Her«?
the people have sowed, labored, pray-
ed, returned thanks and prospered
and unto this day the land and its
people are still being blessed with the
smile of God, for it is here God smiled
and lingered, and there was was
Madisonville built.
