Elyria, Ohio (First Church).

The first profound religious experience which I recollect occurred when I was but a lad in an orthodox church Sunday school. The class had been studying the story of creation recorded in Genesis. The account in the first chapter, in which it is stated that "God saw every thing that he had made, and, behold, it was very good," appeared to me—and rightly, as I now understand it—greatly at variance with the tragic narrative of Adam and Eve which follows. From that time my interest in religion declined until it had become to me speculative and incomprehensible mysticism, remote from daily living.
