REAL EDEN CLAIMED IN GASHMIR VALLEY [Rev. Dr. P. L. Mills Says “Garden” Was Located in Himalayas. ‘The actual, physical Garden of Eden in all probability was in the Valley of Cashmir, in the Himalaya Mountains, according to Rev. Dr. Philo Laos lluh who is now in Washington writing an account of his studies and explorations to discover the original cradle of the race. Dr. Mills, a Catholic priest, member of the American Oriental Soclety and honorary lecturer of the Royal Aslatic Soclety of Bombay, has devoted, he says, almost 20 years of incessant work to locating the “Eden” of Genesis, which -he believes was an actual real- ity, party due to the persistence of the legend in most primitive religions, sus- taining the biblical account. ““Sweeten it with Domino "’ American Sugar Refining Company ilds 2Cold CONTINUAL dosing upsets children’s delicate stom- achs.

(2) At the same time Vicks “draws out” the soreness like a poultice. et @Y e He has pursued his hunt for Eden down the pathways of scriptural au- thority, archeology, anthropology, biol- ogy and geology. Always, he says, the way has led to high mountains, from which the race gradually dispersed. “First of all” says Dr. Mills, “we are all descended from a very superior type of man in Central Asia—a race described by Prof. Henry Fairchild Osborne as ‘one of the greatest mys- teries of psychology and history, men who could take their place as senior wranglers at any of our universities, recalling a facial type now to be seen north and south of the Himalayas. Scientists Agree. “The almost unanimous verdict of scientists in makiAg the human race pour out of the middle Asiatic high- lands is a strong factor in favor of Himalayan cradles. Here was the pri- meval home of Indian, African, Aus- tralian and North American before the dispersion. “If you want to see the nearest ap- proach to Father Adam, come up to the Asiatic Olympus and you will find a superman still living in caves and hunt- ing the yaks—a majestic North Ameri- can Indian, still invoking the Great Spirit, Yaka-Yama. But if our modern biologists can place the cradle of man with some confidence on the summit of the world, the actual nursery of our | first parents can only be determined by a tradition; that is, by a supernatural revelation. Such a revelation was given in the very dawn of the world, and still survives in fragments of Baby- lonian and Lndo-Persian hieratic lore, [but in its integrity only in the Hebrew Tiptures. ‘Now, the words ‘Adam,’ ‘Gan-Eden,’ | “Paradis,’ etc., are not only well known Bible terms, but they find their equiva- ients in the earliest saored books of the East—the Persian ‘Avesta’ and the In- dian ‘Rig-Veda.’ In fact, the story of MfiflMwofl./Msl/s:om | the elevation and fall of man is im- | mensely ancient and particularly vivid ARcADE MARKE ¥ Cleanliness: Quality in these middle Mhdo m River of Paradise “flo highest lake of the hllhm nnunmnl of the world—the Manasarowar and in its middle is planted the 'rm of Life and the Tree of xnovm: Then, it is uu'culh & wicked serpent that the first humans succumb io the power of evil and lose their dot.l‘.ln‘ themselves with the skins of leer. Seals Prove Connection. “What is more important, the newly discovered Indo-Sumerian seals, to- gether with the Blau monuments, have .| proved beyond a question that the Su- merians of Babylonia br:lus it their ideas of a mountain Paradise from their highland home, thus connecting Central Asia with Babylonia, the Indus with the Euphrates region. This is an epoch-making discovery, for it located the ‘Land of Edin’ actually found on the Haapa seals, without a shadow of doubt, in upper Cashmir, with its de- lectable mountains. Here was the ‘Parada’ or paradise of the Persians. the Hedenesh of the Hindus, or the Gan-Heden of the Parsees. From this point our first ancestors spread the worship of Ilu-Yah, the most high God, to all parts of the earth. “With such a vivid recollection of Eden and its celestial glories, it is not surprising that the story traveled through the length and breadth of the planet. China has her Himalayan Paradise, and so has Japan, and both speak of the loss of immortality through the rejection of heavenly and the con- sumption of earthly food. And when the early Adamites had drifted down to Chaldes and the Persian Gulf, they car- ried their Paradise-lore with them and called their new elysium ‘Gan-Edin.’ “There is also Eden in the Lebanon, in Northern Syria, in Southern Arabia and in North Africa. But in Chaldea the story of ‘Paradise Lost’ was never forgotten and in the beautiful Nimrod- epic the hero plunges through the waters of death—the Persian Gulf— and finds the tree of life in a lofty land of rivers and waterfalls. And just as in Egypt the Pharaoah goes after death to the lake of the cataract, where he is purified by the gods who hold in their hands two jars from which the Niles flow, so the Babylonian Nimrod holds,in his hand a jar from which two streams of water flow, evidently the Indus and the Ganges, showing that he has come | to the peak of the world, the fountain | of creation. Moses Wrote of Paradise. “Now it was this that Moses was thinking about when he wrote: the Lord God had planted a paradise | of pleasure in the Orient and there plnced He the man whom He made.’ This carries us to the distant East, east of Palestine and east of Baby- | ‘And a river went forth from | Paradise to water the garden and from | lonia. thence (after that) it was parted and became: four heads’ (fountains of rivers).

The inspired writer means to imply that the river of paradise was so lofty and vo- luminous that, even after watering the garden, it could still give birth to the four greatest rivers they had ever heard of—insinuating a cosmic or pre- historic formation. ~ The one united river splits up into four divided streams not by direct effusion, but by the grad- ual carving out of several watersheds, the springs bubbling up at lower levels by artesian undercurrents. “Now in prehistoric times India was connected with Africa by the continent of Lemuria, the Indus as well as the Euphrates swinging all around Arabia into the Nile region and the Red Sea, while the Ganges may have followed a similar course by way of .the Malabar stretching from Ceylon o Madagascar, “Wlth this nlonuflc support the Bib~ Heal becomes increasingly clear.

And I was not inted.

When one-half of Europe and America were covered with Southern ‘Tibet and the Manasarowar Lakes—still steaming with hot springs, were the nursery of every variety of plant and animal life from the ‘golden soma,’ or Persian tree of life, to the deli- clous perfumes of the aromatic gums: and from the moble lons and_tigers still swarming in Bombay and Bengal to the gorgeous pivmes of the bird of o rl‘ldile We are in the richest blo- ogical zone that has eve: existed. In fact, .the relics of the rhinoceros are proof positive of a warm climate here some 10,000 years ago. There have been enormous climatic changes since the ‘fall’ of man. “But if the forbidden land of the Lamas has lost much of its one-time splendor, the glories of the Garden of ‘Eden are stili to be scented on some of its borders. Prom the palms and water- melons of the lower valleys to the ap- ples and peaches of the bighest planta- tions, the variety is simply boundless. The Cashmir apple grows on the upper Indus at 12,000 feet above sea level, while the most exquisite roses and rho- dodendrons reach the phenomenal al- titude of 15,000 feet in the tropical sunlight. Add to this the ‘radio-active’ mountains and the rivers literally run- ning with gold and sapphire and 1 would like to know where on the face of the earth such a combination of marvels can be duplicated. “In view of its -mn attestation from every possible ln[le—Blbllcfl pa- tristic and sclentific—I am convinced that I have been in the roof-garden of the world—the long lost Eden of our remote ancestors.” — .
