nearly all agreed that the eclipse Of

of the earth, but two or three were
sharp enough to save the shadow OF
the earth for the changes of the
moon, and said it was the shadow OF
some other planet that caused the
eclipse of the moon.

Another classical student said:
The Poems of Homer tell about the
wars between the different tribes OF

history OF the retreat of one of those
tribes. Alexander was neither a

guess no one will deny that"
Here are some more testimonies of
wise ones who have been especially
blest with education;
First: "The Hebrew we teach now
is supposed to be the same that David
and Solemn used, and the Greek the
same that Socrates spoke. The Sa.
marian language is a mixture of He
brew and Syraic. Homer was the
first Greek writer, about a thousand
years before Christ. Troy was in
northern Greece. The Septangent was
the first translation of the Bible from
Hebrew into Greek about 100 BIC. 1t

Third: Some of the ancient Greek
philosophers imagined the earth was
round. The Greeks knew something
about medicine and surgery. The
BARRIERS accompanied their trade with
that of surgery and medicine. DIR. Es

serpents drinking from it. The ser
pent was an emblem of eternity, and
those that took his medicine were as
