74:5.2 The [[farewell]] of the receivers occupied the whole of a day, and during the evening the [[individual]] [[Melchizedeks]] gave Adam and Eve their parting [[advice]] and best wishes. Adam had several times requested his advisers to remain on [[earth]] with him, but always were these [[petitions]] denied. The time had come when the [[Material Sons]] must [[assume]] full [[responsibility]] for the [[conduct]] of world affairs. And so, at midnight, the [https://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_39#39:4._ADMINISTRATOR_SERAPHIM seraphic transports] of [[Satania]] left the [[planet]] with fourteen [[beings]] for [[Jerusem]], the [[translation]] of [[Van]] and [[Amadon]] occurring [[simultaneously]] with the departure of the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/12_%28number%29 twelve] [[Melchizedeks]].

74:5.3 All went fairly well for a time on [[Urantia]], and it appeared that Adam would, [[eventually]], be able to [[develop]] some [[plan]] for promoting the [[gradual]] extension of the Edenic [[civilization]]. Pursuant to the [[advice]] of the [[Melchizedeks]], he began to foster [[the arts]] of [[manufacture]] with the [[idea]] of [[developing]] [[Commerce|trade]] [[relations]] with the outside world. When Eden was disrupted, there were over one hundred [[primitive]] [[manufacturing]] plants in operation, and extensive trade [[relations]] with the near-by tribes had been [[established]].

74:5.6 Even among the Edenites there were those [[confused]] [[minds]] that leaned toward the [[Caligastia]] teaching of unbridled [[personal]] [[liberty]]; and they caused Adam no end of trouble; always were they upsetting the best-laid [[plans]] for orderly [[progression]] and substantial [[development]]. He was finally compelled to withdraw his [[program]] for [[immediate]] socialization; he fell back on [[Van]]'s [[method]] of [[organization]], dividing the Edenites into companies of one hundred with captains over each and with lieutenants in charge of [[groups]] of [[ten]].

74:5.7 Adam and Eve had come to institute [[representative]] [[government]] in the place of [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monarchy monarchial], but they found no [[government]] worthy of the [[name]] on the face of the whole [[earth]]. For the time being Adam abandoned all [[effort]] to [[establish]] [[representative]] [[government]], and before the collapse of the Edenic regime he succeeded in [[establishing]] almost one hundred outlying [[trade]] and [[social]] [[centers]] where strong [[individuals]] ruled in his [[name]]. Most of these [[centers]] had been organized aforetime by [[Van]] and [[Amadon]].

74:5.8 The sending of [[ambassadors]] from one [[tribe]] to another dates from the times of Adam. This was a great forward step in the [[evolution]] of [[government]].
