EXACT DATE OF THE FLOOD.
Old Testament Facts on Which the
Southern Bishop Raised His
Question.

Some people have had fun lately
over the reported rejection of eight
candidates for the African Methodist
ministry in the south by the eXamin-
ing bishop because they could not tell
the date Of the flood Nevertheless,
the bishop who asked the question
knew what he was doing 1t may not
have been fair question, but there
is concise answer to it in the Bible,
and he no doubt thought that the
eight candidates, if they were well
rrr,ed in the Old Testament, would
answer it at once, says the New
York sun.
The date OF the flood was $50 years
after the birth of Adam, in the sec
oHd month and the seventeenth day.
II began then and continued for 40
days and nights. This is how it is
figured: The third verse of the fifth
chapter Of Genesis reads thus: and
Adam lived 1870 years and begat son
in his own likeness, after his image;
and called his name Seth" Then, in
The sixth verse, it is told that Seth
| lived lJj years and begat Enos.
Adam, says the fourth verse, lived
so years, after the birth of Seth. and
the latter after the birth of Enos
lived 'G1 years. So it goes on. Enos
oegat Cainan when he was 90; Cainan
1egat Mahaaleel when he was 75:
Mahalaleel begat Jared when he was
90; Jared begat Enoch when he was
l62. Methusaleh was born to Enoch
when the latter was 6j, and when
| Me.husaleh was 1S7 De begat Lamech,
and Lamech's son, Noah, came into
the world when the father was 1872.
This brings us down to the birth of
Noah, which, according to the added
| ages of the several patriarchs at the
time their sons were born, occurred
loj6 years after the birth of Adam.
in the seventh chapter of Genesis
the eleventh verse reads as follows:
In the six hundredth year of Noah's
life, in the second month, the seven
teenth day of the month, the same
day were all the fountains of the
great deep broken up and all the win
dows Of heaven were opened" This
was ~he food, and it came to pass in
| the year 1856 after the birth of
Adam.

Newfoundland Iron Ore

What the gold reefs of Johannesburg
are to the Transvaal, the Wabana iron
beds are TO Newfoundland They form
immense deposits of rich red hematite
ore, three miles long and several hun
bred feet wide, and showing "a ,O0O.0 600
tons in sight above water. The beds
dip downward at an angle of eight de-
grees, and ii is believed that they ex-
tend below the sea in practically un-

WEAKNESS OF HUMAN NATURE
Accordisg TO the Idea of an Insur-
ance agent who Was Inter-
ested in the Fire,

"Talk about the frailties of human ma
ture,' said well-known insurance agent the
other day, relates the Kansas City journal,
mo one else has so good an opportunity to
discover them as an insurance man. An IN
cident occurred a few days ago that showed
me a side of neighbor's character which
had never suspected to exist. A tre broke
out in his home, and do you know, that
man went three blocks to telephone to re-
port it, when there was a phone right in his
house.
Il saw the fire soon after it started, and
rushed to give assistance. 1t was while help
ing to pack the things out that discovered
the phone, and turned in the alarm. Now,
it takes a strong stretch of the Imagination
to believe that the owner had forgotten
there was a telephone in his house. That he
should have acted as he did undermlnes
ones faith in people in general,
Think of it. There ] was sweating and
endangerng my life to save his property,
while he was anxious, evidently, to have it
burn. Such conduct doesn't encourage one
to exert himself for others
"By the way" interrupted listener, did
any Of your companies hold policy on that
house?'
"Now, you are asking leading question:
replied the insurance man, with guiIeless
smile. "What | am saying is that the ac-
tons Of that man are sad commentary on
human nature"
