THE FLOOD AND. TIE. ARK.

Rev. Mr. David Calls the Flood a
Divine Allegory. .
The Rey*J. S. David, minister of the
Third Swedenborgian Society, commenced
a series of doctrinal lectures at Washing
ton Hall, Red Mems building, 800 Post
street, yesterday morning.
He said the Mosaic account of the foo
has been the subject of a:vast amount of
speculation and comment. Some regard
it as myth pure and simple; others re-
gard II as partial myth having grown
out OF a physical catastrophe, which
mig hit have been the sinking of the conti-
nent Atlantis. The popular belief among
Christians is that the story is literally
true in aleits historic details, having been
written by divine inspiration.
There are those who believe that it was
written first by one Of the wise sages OF
high antiquity and contains a dee ply
esoteric meaning. The new church
claims that the sacred scriptures were
written by divine inspiration, and there
fore contain infinite depths OF meaning
veiled in allegory. According TO Sweden

agencies which must be used TO open the
way for better system-a better educa-
tion and better religion. In the i'm
provement of education he laid special
stress on the need Of putting Industrial
training on an equality with the 10 ore
purely intellectual education. The i'm
provement of religion he. holds must be

done. Christ planted himself clearly on
the principle OF fraternity. Current re-
llgion is formed more from the teachings
of st. Paul than of Christ.

ton between capital and labor. Wage

past. -
=, While not distinctly avowing an ac-
ceptance of the single tax doctrine of
Henry George. the pastor looks for a
remedy of present evils by some similar
method of breaking up land monopoly,
and letting the people have the use of
land free as the use of air. Let the hands
have acres and the acres nave hands. Her
bert Spencer, John Stuart Mill, the his
torian Froude, the scientist Wallace, the
comm entator B ackstone, deny that land
can be property in the sense that movable
things are property. The old Jewish
law that prevented great land monopoles
by:compelling its return to the people at
the end OF every fifty years was cited with
aPproyaI. - ~. ..-.
The remedy: of legislation was illus
:trated by what has recently been done in
England to compel contractors to pay
fair wages to their workmen. %. -: ;,

this, too, without any loss of time. Some

doors of the engine-hous as the wagons
roll off on the run. :: :
On the return of the men to their houses
