let rs conclud that they are both misprints,
or not to be relied upon for showing the time
Of the Second Advent, nor for showing the
age of the world but let US look to Barnabas
for the former and to the cycles for the lat
ter. And what does Barnabas say? He says:
THE GREAT SABBATH.
"If thy children shall keep nay sabbaths,
then will put my mercy upon them And
even in the beginning Of Creation, God makes
mention of the sabbath. And God made in
six days the work of His hands; and He fin
ished them on the seventh day, and He rested
the seventh dav and sanctificd it, Consider,
my childrea, what that sign fes lie finished
them in six DAYS. The meaning of it is this
that in six thousand years the Lord God will
bring all things to an end. For with Him one
day is 4 thousand wears, as himself test;neth,
saying, Behold this dav shall be as thousand
years. Therefore, children. in six DAYS that
is, IN six thousand years. shall all things be
accomplished And what is that He saith:
And He rested the seventh day. He meaneth
this: that when His son shall come and abol-
iSh the season of the wicked one, and judge
the ungodly, and shall change the sun and the
moon and the stars, chen He shall gloriouSly
rest in that seventh day. Book Of BcrnaIas,
chap. l3 2-6.
If Barnabas understood what he was saving,
these words of his are l,,ilna fac;e evidence
that the world is not SIX thousand wears old +;
for the Lord has not vet abolished the sea
son of the wicked one nor judged the un-
godly."
In my next shall endeavor 70 show by the
cycles that the world is not yet 5000 years old.
Yours, Respectfully.

This count agrees exactly with the Domini-

50, auy person can, at any time, know the aga
of the world by adding to 1000 the current
date Of the Christian Era.
