who is a very enthusiastic Baptist, and
frequently engages in theological dis
cussions. approached him one day
while entangled in Ole of these discus
sions with an old German from the
country. The barber had evidently
been advocating rather strongly the
doctrine or practice of Immersion
"Well," said the German, 81 jGOst
don't remember but three places in the
Bible where immersion is mentioned at
aii-only three places. The first was
where the Egyptians were pursuing
the Israelites through the Red Sea, ,and
the Lord caused the waters to flow back
on them, and they were all immersed.
The second place was where the Lord
commanded Noah to take all
his family into the Ark, after
which lie caused it to rain for forty
days and nights, ard all those outside
the ark were Immersed. The third
place was " here the Saviour caused the

The Place Where the Sun Jumps
a Day.


Chatham Island, lying off the coast of New
Zealand, in the South Pacific ocean, is pecu
iarly situated, as it is one of the habitable
points of the globe where the day of the week
changes. 1t is just in the line of demarca-
ton between dates. There high twelve on
Sunday or noon ceases, and instantly Monday
meridian begins. Sunday comes into a mans
house on the east side, and becomes Monday
by the time it passes out the western door. A
man sits down to his MONDAY dinner on Sun
day, and it is Monday noon before he finishes
1t.
There Saturday is Sunday, and Sunday is
Monday, and Monday becomes suddenly
transferred into Tuesday. 1t is good place
for people who have lost much time, for by
taking an early start they can always get a
day ahead on Chatham Island. It took phi
losophers and geographers long time to set
tie the puzzle of where Sundry noon ceased
and Monday noon began, with man travel
ing west fifteen, degrees an hOnr, or with the
sun. 1t is hoped that the next Arctic expedi-
ton will settle the other mooted question:
"where will one stop who travels northwest
continually :"
