THE DATE or THE GOD.

1ible 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
flood. Nevertheless the bishop who
asked the question knew what he vas
Aoing. 1t may not have been a fair
question, but there is concise answer
10 1t in the Bible. and lie no doubt
thought that the eight candidates. il
they were well versed in the Old Tesla.
ment, would answer 1t ut once.
The date of the flood was 1,G56 years
after the birth Of Adam. in the second
month and the seventeenth day. 1t be.
gan then and continued for 40 days
and nights. This is how 1t Is figured:
The third verse Of the fifth chapter Of
Genesis reads thus. .'And Adam lived
40 years and begat a son in his own
likeness after his image. and called his
name Seth" Then IN the sixth verse
It is told that Seth lived 1906 years and
hegat Enos Adam. says the fourth
verse lived 800 years after the birth
a Seth. and the latter after the birth
At Enos lived 807 years. So 1t goes on.
'Enos begat Cainan when he was 80:
Cainan begat Mahalaleel when he was
Is; Mahalaleel besat Jared when he
was Go; Jared begat Enoch when he
vas 1872 Methuselah was born to
Enoch when the latter was G5. and
when Alethl,selah was 1S7 he begat
Lamech. and Lamech's son Noah came
into the world when the father was
,1S2. This brings us down to the birth
df Noah. which. according to the added
ages of the several patriarchs at the
time their sons were born. occurred
1,O56 years after the birth of Adam.
In the seventh chapter of Gensis the
eleventh verse reads as follows: '.ln
the six hundredth year of Noah's life.
In the second nloxth. the seventeenth
day Of the month. the same day were all
the fountains of the great deep broken
