the making of the pyramids it took two
thousand men two years to drag one great
stone from the quarry and put into the
pyramids. Well now, if men, short'lived,
can afford to work as slowly as that, can
not God, in the building Of the eternities,

eternal ages? II, according to the Bible,
a thousand years are in Gods sight as one

Saturday. But II is often the case that the
rebound is quicker and the circle
