The Bible mud the Empire Stnte
 Express.

A Bible student has recently been figur- ing on how long 1t would nave taken the people to make the journey from Dan to Beersheba if they could have had the benefit in the olden times of the Empire State Express. He figured that the train would have made this journey in less than three hours although from a reading of the account in the Bible one would think 1t was a long journey, and it was for those days with their limited means of transportation. Ezekiel, the Chaldean prophet had in his minds eye something like the Empire State Express when he uttered the words recorded in the first chapter of his prophecy Look this up and see if you do not agree with the idea.-From the Troy Daily Times
