The first time we read of bread, was when the Lord was going to banish them from the garden and said to Adam "In the sweat of thy face shalt thou eat bread, till thou return unto the ground." After the flood every. thing was delivered Into the hands of Noah and his sons about 234S years B. C. God said unto them "Every moving thing that liveth shall be meat for you, even as the green herb have I given you all things." About this time wine was made.
