written by a lady in CA in 1890 in response to a gentleman in PA, who said he would pay $1000 to any who could make a riddle he could't solve..he had to pay the lady. but the money went to an 8 year old boy who knew the answer.
one word, five letters long, in the King James version 4 times:
God made Adam out of dust, but thought it best to make me first. So i was made before the man, according to God's holy plan. My body is complete, without arms, or hands, or feet. My ways and acts did God control, but in my body he placed no soul. A living being i became, and Adam gave to me a name. Then from his presence i withdrew, for this man Adam, i never knew. All my Maker's laws i do obey, and from them i never stray. Thousands of me go in fear, and seldom on earth appear. I travel from pole to pole, thousands of people did my death bright lights behold. Fear of death doesn't trouble me; for pure joy i will never see. so get your bible, read with care, you will find my name recorded there

I've tried everything I can think of with no luck. Nothing that comes to mind is only mentioned 4 times in the KJV. Do share!
