Adam and Eve are both green, and growing. They are
the two halves of a ripening peach, brought together by the Law of
Attraction or Love because at this stage in their development _they
fit_. You will be inclined to doubt that every Adam's nature fits his
Eve's, but I say unto you judge not according to outward appearance but
judge righteous judgment. Now listen:--Every human being has his
manifested good points and his _latent_ good points. The manifest good
points of a man are the Adam of him; the _latent_ good points--the weak
places in him--are the Eve of him--the interior as-yet-undeveloped part
of him. The strong points, the good points, of a woman are the Eve; the
weak points, where she is as yet undeveloped, are the Adam or interior
nature of her.
If it were not for personal attractions, particularly the attractions of
one man and one woman, the _latent_ parts of both men and women would
remain forever undeveloped and their strong points would continue to
grow stronger. In time (supposing the race did not die out), there would
be two classes of people utterly different and at variance with each
other--two opposites with no understanding or sympathy for each other.
