                                                                                 9
             amongst the trees of the garden.  And the LORD

             God  called  unto  Adam,  and  said  unto  him,


                                                10
             Where art thou?  And he said, I heard thy voice


             in the garden, and I was afraid, because I was


             naked;  and  I  hid  myself.”  Notice  Adam  was

             Adam  and  Eve  in  His  presence.  This  is  how


             important clothing is.  Now, what did they do?



             They made aprons, like a belt or a girdle, a loin


             cloth,  whatever  you'd  want  to  call  it.    It’s


             something that may have wrapped around the



             waist to cover their privates, but if I use today's


             standards — and it may not be the same — an
