Can You Solve
This Puzzle?
This puzzle was written by a lady in California in
response to an offer from a gentleman in
Philadelphia that he would pay anyone $1,000.00 who
could write a puzzle he could not solve. He failed
to do so and paid the $1,000.00. The answer is one
word, and appears only four times in the Bible. Can
you solve it?
Adam, God made out
of dust
But though it best
to make me first.
So I was made
before man
To answer God's
most Holy plan.
A living thing I
became
And Adam gave to
me my name.
I from his
presence then withdrew
And more of Adam
never knew.
I did my Maker's
law obey
Nor ever went from
it astray.
Thousands of miles
I go in fear
But seldom on
earth appear.
Fro purpose wise
which God did see,
He put a living
soul in me.
A soul from me God
did claim
And took from me
the soul again.
So when from me
the should should had fled
I was the same as
when first made.
And without hands,
or feet, or soul,
I travel from pole
to pole.
I labor hard by
day by night
To fallen man to
give great light.
Thousands of
people, young and old
Will by my death
great light behold.
No right or wrong
can I conceive
The scriptures I
cannot believe.
Although my name
therein is found
They are to me an
empty sound.
No fear of death
doth trouble me,
Real happiness
I'll never see.
To heaven I shall
never go
Or to hell below.
Now when these
lines you slowly read
Go search your
Bible with all speed.
Fro that my name
is written there
I do honestly to
you declare.
