CREATION IN THE REVISED BIBLE.


SIR, The Revised Old Testament is now
published to the world The original Mosaic description
of the creation has great stumbling block TO many
thinking people, because It describes the creation
having been accomplished in six days The new ransa-
ton does not materially alter this This theory Is in d.
ctoonaict with modern science Geology proves that
there are strata of rock that have required millions of
years instead OF a single day. to FORM In speaking at
the present time say OF the fourteenth oontury we
would SAY, in that day" We mean by that form of
expression during that period Of one hun drod years
although we say. Ia that day" Now, In the Mosait
description Of tho creation there positive proof thac
by the term "day 1t not designed to be understood
as our day OF twentyour hours but rather period OF
time. -,
Here "a tho proofs The created the fourth
day vet we have tho Governing and morning" OF the
urst second and third days. before the created
TO measure the days by its rising aud setting.
Would the modern revisors have been justified IN
translatlng this work "period" instead Of day y
These periods have represented millions OF years,
thus giving time for the evaporation OF tho vapor that
enyeoped earth that the could shine upon IL.
And too by transating II as tho Beginning and end
ing Of the first period and to the sixth, they would
have avoided any conflict with geology. j. @. Q.

THE AUSTRALIAN MAILS.

SIR: You say in your notice of the withdrawal
OF the Australian mail route that II will be felt much
moro by tho oolonss than by the people OF tho United
stats Now 1t Is fact that since tho establishment Of
this line TO Australia our exports to that country have
increased about S9.000,o0o, at the of nearly
81 900 600 year. while imports from Australia show
but slight increase Upon tho establishment Of this
American steamship line, which was paid for by the
Australian colonies export trade at once began to
Improve and steadily increased and under this state
of facts IL seems that the United States will feel
the withdrawal OF that steamship line quite much
The Australian colonies Another fact Is that the United
States Government has received from postage
alone about $50 year than they paid the line
for carrying the mail to Australia The above facts draw
their own conclusions Respectfully yours.
