76:3.1 As [[time]] passed in the ''second garden'', the [[consequences]] of [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_75 default] became increasingly apparent. [[Adam and Eve]] greatly missed their former [[home]] of [[beauty]] and tranquillity as well as their [[children]] who had been deported to [[Edentia]]. It was indeed pathetic to [[observe]] this magnificent couple reduced to the [[status]] of the [[Mortal|common flesh]] of the realm; but they bore their diminished estate with [[grace]] and [[fortitude]].

76:3.2 [[Adam]] wisely spent most of the [[time]] [[training]] his [[children]] and their [[associates]] in [[civil]] [[administration]], [[educational]] [[methods]], and [[religious]] [[devotion]]s. Had it not been for this [[foresight]], [[Chaos|pandemonium]] would have broken loose upon his [[death]]. As it was, the [[death]] of Adam made little [[difference]] in the [[conduct]] of the affairs of his people. But long before [[Adam and Eve]] passed away, they recognized that their [[children]] and followers had [[gradually]] learned to [[forget]] the days of their [[glory]] in [[Eden]]. And it was better for the [[majority]] of their followers that they did forget the grandeur of Eden; they were not so likely to [[experience]] undue dissatisfaction with their less fortunate [[environment]].

76:3.3 The [[civil]] rulers of the Adamites were derived hereditarily from the sons of [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_73 the first garden]. Adam's first son, Adamson (Adam ben Adam), founded a secondary [[center]] of the [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_76#76:4._THE_VIOLET_RACE violet race] to the north of the ''second Eden''. Adam's second son, Eveson, became a masterly [[leader]] and [[administrator]]; he was the great helper of his [[father]]. Eveson lived not quite so long as [[Adam]], and his eldest son, Jansad, became the successor of Adam as the head of the Adamite tribes.

76:3.4 The religious rulers, or [[priesthood]], originated with ''[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sethianism Seth]'', the eldest surviving son of [[Adam and Eve]] born in the ''second garden''. He was born one hundred and twenty-nine years after Adam's arrival on [[Urantia]]. Seth became absorbed in the [[work]] of improving the [[spiritual]] [[status]] of his [[father]]'s people, becoming the head of the new [[priesthood]] of the second garden. His son, Enos, founded the new order of [[worship]], and his grandson, Kenan, instituted the foreign missionary [[service]] to the surrounding [[tribes]], near and far.

76:3.5 The [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sethianism Sethite priesthood] was a threefold undertaking, embracing [[religion]], [[health]], and [[education]]. The [[priests]] of this order were [[trained]] to officiate at religious [[ceremonies]], to serve as physicians and sanitary inspectors, and to [[act]] as [[teachers]] in the schools of the garden.

76:3.6 [[Adam]]'s caravan had carried the seeds and bulbs of hundreds of [[plants]] and [http://www.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cereals cereals] of the [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_73 first garden] with them to [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tigris%E2%80%93Euphrates_river_system the land between the rivers]; they also had brought along extensive herds and some of all the [[domesticated]] [[animals]]. Because of this they possessed great advantages over the [[surrounding]] [[tribes]]. They enjoyed many of the benefits of the previous [[culture]] of the [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_73 original Garden].

76:3.7 Up to the time of leaving the [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_73 first garden], [[Adam]] and his [[family]] had always subsisted on [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fruits fruits], [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cereals cereals], and [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nuts nuts]. On the way to [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mesopotamia Mesopotamia] they had, for the first time, partaken of [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Herbs herbs] and [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vegetables vegetables]. The eating of meat was early introduced into the ''second garden'', but [[Adam and Eve]] never partook of flesh as a part of their regular [[diet]]. Neither did Adamson nor Eveson nor the other [[children]] of the first [[generation]] of the [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_73 first garden] become [[Carnivorous|flesh eaters]].

76:3.8 The Adamites greatly excelled the [[surrounding]] [[people]]s in [[cultural]] achievement and [[intellectual]] [[development]]. They produced the third [[alphabet]] and otherwise laid the [[foundations]] for much that was the forerunner of [[modern]] [[art]], [[science]], and [[literature]]. Here in the [[land]]s between the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tigris%E2%80%93Euphrates_river_system Tigris and Euphrates] they maintained [[the arts]] of [[writing]], [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metallurgy metalworking], [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pottery#History pottery making], and [http://www.wikipedia.org/wiki/Weaving weaving] and produced a type of [[architecture]] that was not excelled in thousands of years.

76:3.9 The [[home]] life of the [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_76#76:4._THE_VIOLET_RACE violet peoples] was, for their day and age, [[ideal]]. [[Children]] were subjected to [[courses]] of [[training]] in [[agriculture]], craftsmanship, and [http://www.wikipedia.org/wiki/Animal_husbandry animal husbandry] or else were [[educated]] to perform the threefold [[duty]] of a [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sethianism Sethite]: to be [[priest]], physician, and [[teacher]].

76:3.10 And when [[thinking]] of the Sethite [[priesthood]], do not [[confuse]] those high-minded and [[noble]] [[teachers]] of [[health]] and [[religion]], those true educators, with the debased and [[commercial]] priesthoods of the later tribes and surrounding nations. Their religious [[concepts]] of [[Deity]] and the [[universe]] were advanced and more or less accurate, their [[health]] provisions were, for their time, excellent, and their [[methods]] of [[education]] have never since been surpassed.
