No Adam of the [[planetary]] [[service]] was ever set down on a more [[difficult]] world; the obstacles seemed insuperable and the [[problems]] beyond [[creature]] solution. | | 75:1.3 [[Adam and Eve]] found themselves on a [[sphere]] wholly unprepared for the [[proclamation]] of the [[brotherhood]] of [[man]], a world groping about in abject [[spiritual]] [[darkness]] and [[cursed]] with [[confusion]] worse confounded by the [[miscarriage]] of the mission of the preceding [[administration]].

− | 75:1.4 They were [[isolated]], and the tremendous sense of loneliness which bore down upon them was all the more heightened by the early departure of the [[Melchizedek receivers]].

Slowly their [[courage]] weakened, their [[spirits]] drooped, and sometimes their [[faith]] almost faltered. | + | 75:1.4 They were [[isolated]], and the tremendous sense of loneliness which bore down upon them was all the more heightened by the early departure of the [[Melchizedek receivers]].

But they would have sometime met with success had they been more farseeing and [[patient]]. Both of them, especially [[Eve]], were altogether too impatient; they were not willing to settle down to the long, long [[endurance]] test. They wanted to see some [[immediate]] results, and they did, but the results thus secured proved most disastrous both to themselves and to their world. | | 75:1.6 Probably no [[Material Sons]] of [[Nebadon]] were ever faced with such a [[difficult]] and seemingly hopeless task as confronted [[Adam and Eve]] in the sorry plight of [[Urantia]].
