THE DATE OF THE FLOOD.
Bible Facts on which the bishop
BASED Ills Question.

Bible Facts on which the bishop
BASED His Question.
Some people had fun over the re-
ported rejection Of eight candidates for
the African Methodist ministry in the
south by the examining bishop because
they could not tell the date of the
food. Nevertheless the bishop who
asked the question knew what he was
doing. 1t may not have been fair
question, but there is a concise answer
to 1t In the Bible, aud he no doubt
thought that the eight candidates. If
they were well versed in the Old Testa-
inent, would answer 1t at once.
The date of the flood was 1856 years
after the birth of Adam, In the second
month and the seventeenth day. II be.
gan then and continued for 10 days
aud nights. This Is how 1t is figured:
The third verse Of the tlfth 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 i05 years and
begat Enos Adam, says the fourth
verse, lived 500 years after the birth
Of Seth, and the latter after the birth
Of Enos lived S07 years. So It goes on.
Enos begat Calnan when he was 30,
Calnan begat Mahalaleel when he was
10; Mahalalee begat Jared when he
was 6o; Jared Legat Enoch when be
was 1852. Methusalah was born to
Enoch when the latter was 05, and
when Methuseah was 1877 he begat
Lamech. and Lainech's son Noah came
into the world when the father was
iS2. This brings us down TO the birth
Of Noah, which, according 10 the added
ages or the several patrlarchs NJ the
time their sous were born. occurred
1856 years after the birth OF Adam.
In the seventh chapter OF Gensis the
eleventh verse reads as follows: sin
the six hundredth year OF Noah's life,
In the second month, the seventeenth
day of the month, the same day We're all
the fountains of The great deep broken
up and all the windows OF heaven
were opened" This was the food,
and II came to Tass in the year 1850
