THE DATE 1oF THE FLOOD.
Bible Facts ora Which the Bishop
Based His Question f:

Some people had fun over the re-
ported rejection of eight candidates for
the African Methodist ministry in the
south by the examining bishop becausea
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 a fair
question, but there is a concise answer
to it in the Bible, and he no doubt
thought that the eight candidates, If
they were we'll versed in the Old Tesla
ment, would answer it at once.
The date of the food was 1855 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 it is figured:
The third verse of the fifth chapter Of
Genesis reads thus, "And Adam lived
100 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 105 years and
begat Enos. Adam, says the fourth
verse, lived 800, years after the birth
Of Seth. and the latter after the birth
Of Enos lived S07 years. So it goes on.
Enos begat Cainan when he was 80:
Cainan begat Mahalaleel when he was
rs; Mahalaleel begat Jared when he
was IS; Jared begat Enoch when he
was 1852 Methuselah was born to
Enoch when the latter was 65, and
when Methuselah was 1877 he 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
1866 years after the birth of Adam.
In the seventh chapter of Gensis the
eleventh verse reads as follows. ia
the six hundredth year of Noah's life.
in the second month. the seventeenth
day of the month. the same day were all
the fountains Of the great deep broken
up sand all the windows of heaven
were opened" This was the food,
and it came to pass in the year 1856
after the birth of Adam.-New York
Sun.
