ed. Another meeting of the conference

The Seven Bibles of the World

The seven Bibles of the world are the
Koran of the Mohpmmedans, the Tr1 Pitikes
of the Buddhists, the Five Kings OF the
Chinese, the three Vedas of the Hindoos,
the ~Zendavesta, and the Scriptures of the
Christians. The Koran is the most recent
of these, dating about the seventh century
after Christ. 1t is n compound of quota
tions from the Old and New Testament,
the Talmud and the Gospel of st. Barna-
bas. The Eddas of the Scandinavians
were first published in the fourteenth CEN
tury. The Pitikes of the Buddhists con-
tain sublime morals, and pure aspirations,
and their author lived and died in the sixth
century before Christ. There is nothing
of excellence in these sacred books not
found in the Bible. The sacred writings
of the Chinese are called The Five Kings,
the word "King" meaning web If cloth.
They contain the best sayings of the best
sages on the duties of life. These sayings
connot be traced farther back than eleven
hundred years before Christ. The three
Vedas are the most ancient books of the
Hindoos; and they are believed to date not
beyond eleven hundred years before Christ.
The Zendavesta of the Persians is the
greatest of the sacred books next to our
Bible. Zoroaster, whose sayings it contains,
was born in the twelfth century before
Christ. Moses lived and wrote the Psnta-
touch fifteen hundred years before Christ;
therefore that portion of our Bible is at
least three hundred years older than the
most ancient - ~"her sacred writings.

Never give way to melancholy; nothing
encroaches more; 1 fight against it vigor-
ously. One great remedy is to take short
views of life. Are you happy now? Are
you likely to remain so till this evening,
or next week, or next month, or next year?
Then why destroy present happiness by a
distant misery which may never come at
all, or you may never live to see it? For
every substantial grief has twenty shad-
ows, and most of them shadows of your
W making [Sidney Smith.
