75:3.1 [[Adam]] had just finished his first one hundred years on [[earth]] when ''Serapatatia'', upon the [[death]] of his [[father]], came to the [[leadership]] of the western or [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Syria Syrian] [[confederation]] of the [[Nodite]] tribes. Serapatatia was a brown-tinted man, a brilliant descendant of the onetime chief of the [[Dalamatia]] commission on [[health]] [[mated]] with one of the master [[female]] [[minds]] of the [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_64#64:6._THE_SIX_SANGIK_RACES_OF_URANTIA blue race] of those distant days. All down through the ages this line had held [[authority]] and wielded a great [[influence]] among the western [[Nodite]] tribes.

All down through the ages this line had held [[authority]] and wielded a great [[influence]] among the western [[Nodite]] tribes.

75:3.2 Serapatatia had made several visits to [[the Garden]] and had become deeply impressed with the [[righteousness]] of [[Adam]]'s [[cause]]. And shortly after assuming the [[leadership]] of the Syrian [[Nodites]], he announced his [[intention]] of [[establishing]] an affiliation with the [[work]] of [[Adam and Eve]] in [[the Garden]]. The [[majority]] of his people joined him in this [[program]], and [[Adam]] was cheered by the news that the most powerful and the most [[intelligent]] of all the [[neighboring]] [[tribes]] had swung over almost bodily to the [[support]] of the [[program]] for world improvement; it was decidedly heartening. And shortly after this great [[event]], Serapatatia and his new staff were [[entertained]] by [[Adam and Eve]] in their own [[home]].

And shortly after this great [[event]], Serapatatia and his new staff were [[entertained]] by [[Adam and Eve]] in their own [[home]].

75:3.4 Presently, Serapatatia became the [[associate]] chairman of the Edenic commission on [[tribal]] [[relations]], and many [[plans]] were laid for the more vigorous prosecution of the [[work]] of winning the remote [[tribes]] to the cause of [[the Garden]].

75:3.4 Presently, Serapatatia became the [[associate]] chairman of the Edenic commission on [[tribal]] [[relations]], and many [[plans]] were laid for the more vigorous prosecution of the [[work]] of winning the remote [[tribes]] to the cause of [[the Garden]].

75:3.5 He held many conferences with [[Adam and Eve]]—especially with [[Eve]]—and they talked over many plans for improving their [[methods]]. One day, during a talk with Eve, it occurred to Serapatatia that it would be very helpful if, while awaiting the recruiting of large [[numbers]] of the [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_76#76:4._THE_VIOLET_RACE violet race], something could be done in the meantime [[immediately]] to advance the needy waiting [[tribes]]. Serapatatia contended that, if the [[Nodites]], as the most [[progressive]] and [[co-operative]] [[race]], could have a [[leader]] [[born]] to them of part [[origin]] in the [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_76#76:4._THE_VIOLET_RACE violet stock], it would [[constitute]] a powerful tie binding these peoples more closely to [[the Garden]]. And all of this was soberly and [[honestly]] [[considered]] to be for the [[good]] of the world since this child, to be reared and educated in [[the Garden]], would exert a great [[influence]] for good over his [[father]]'s people.

75:3.6 It should again be emphasized that Serapatatia was altogether [[honest]] and wholly [[sincere]] in all that he proposed. He never once suspected that he was playing into the hands of [[Caligastia]] and [[Daligastia]]. Serapatatia was entirely [[loyal]] to the plan of building up a strong reserve of the [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_76#76:4._THE_VIOLET_RACE violet race] before attempting the world-wide upstepping of the [[confused]] peoples of [[Urantia]]. But this would require hundreds of years to consummate, and he was impatient; he wanted to see some [[immediate]] results—something in his own lifetime. He made it clear to [[Eve]] that [[Adam]] was oftentimes discouraged by the little that had been accomplished toward uplifting the world.

75:3.7 For more than five years these [[plans]] were secretly matured. At last they had [[developed]] to the point where [[Eve]] consented to have a secret conference with Cano, the most [[brilliant]] mind and active leader of the near-by colony of friendly [[Nodites]]. Cano was very [[sympathetic]] with the Adamic regime; in fact, he was the [[sincere]] [[spiritual]] [[leader]] of those neighboring [[Nodites]] who favored [[friendly]] relations with [[the Garden]].

75:3.8 The fateful meeting occurred during the twilight hours of the [[autumn]] evening, not far from the [[home]] of [[Adam]]. Eve had never before met the [[beautiful]] and [[enthusiastic]] Cano—and he was a [[magnificent]] specimen of the [[survival]] of the superior physique and outstanding [[intellect]] of his remote progenitors of the [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_66#66:2._THE_PRINCE.27S_STAFF Prince's staff]. And Cano also thoroughly believed in the [[righteousness]] of the Serapatatia project. (Outside of [[the Garden]], [http://www.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polygamy multiple mating] was a common [[practice]].)

75:3.9 [[Influenced]] by flattery, [[enthusiasm]], and great [[personal]] [[persuasion]], [[Eve]] then and there consented to embark upon the much-[[discussed]] [[enterprise]], to add her own little [[scheme]] of world saving to the larger and more far-reaching [[divine]] [[plan]]. Before she quite realized what was transpiring, the fatal step had been taken. It was done.
