We always speak of the lines and

others have entertained different
opinion Bishop Wilkins says:
in some countries the figures on
the moon are supposed to be two
lions in deadly combat. In most
oriental countries the picture is
thought to be that of single lion.
Others will only have it to be the
picture of mans face, as the moon
is represented. Albertus thinks that
it shows the picture of a lion with
his face toward the west and his tai
toward the cast. It is as much like
lion as that in the Zodiac, or as
Ursa Major is like a bear. New

Tho Lie of the world.

There Is general and widespread
notion, which the curious investiga-
tor will find scattered throughout
both MEDIEVAL and modern litera-
ture, that the world will last 5000
years from the date of its creation.
An inscription in one of Martin Luz
theirs books reads as follows: Elijah,
the prophet, said that the world had
existed 1000 years before the law
was given from Adam to Moses,
would exist 1000 years under the
Mosaic law (from Moses to Christi
and 1000 years under the Christian
dispensation, and then it would be
burned"
In the Etrurian account of the ere
alton Cby Suidas) find similar ira
dition, 1.-The Creator spent e.000
years in creation, and 1000 more are
allotted to the earth. -
In the black letter edition of Foxes
'tActs and Monuments there is a
whole sermon given, with the 5000
year limit of the earth's duration as
a text. (See above work, edition of
1922
Some writers contend that the six
days referred to in Holy Writ really
means 5000 years. and that the .ssev-
enth day" is a type of the coming
millennium, or Sabbath of thou
sand years. The Psalmist says,
For a thousand years are in thy
sight as yesterday = psalm xe, 4.
