Everything had been done to make
the iron ship perfect, but no wit of

A SYMBOL OF PEACE.



In All Ages since the Flood.
The dove has been pictured rs the
bird of pcPcc 10y writer's and artists in
all the ages since the time of the flood,
for the dove has figured III the sym
bolism of many races of count
less generations Acva. dag To the
Century Dictionary, the dove is the
bird of peace because of the incident
recorded in the eighth chapter of Cen
csis: And 1t came to pass ut the end
Of forty days that Moth opened the
window of the ark which hc had made,
and he sent forth raven which went
10 and fro until the waters We're dried
up from of tls, earth And he sent
forth dove from him Ia see If the
waters We're ahated from of the face
of the ground but the dove found no
rest for the sole of her foot, and she
returned unto him IN the ark. And
he stayed Yet another seven days, and
again he sent forth the dove out OF the
ark, and the dove came to him In the
evening, and. 10, IN her mouth was an
olive leaf pluckcd of; So Noah knew
that the waters We're abatcd from off
the earth"
Proper names derived from the dove
have always been used in the orient
as descriptive Of lovelness and We're
especially applied TO beautiful wo-
men. The dove was woven into the
pagan worship of ancient northern
L
early Christian life and symbolism.
From immcmorlal time the dove has
always been Il type Of innocence to
the Jews Elsewhere 1t has been AS

duced by early Christian painters into
pictures of the Madonna and child and
Of female saints. These qualities of
gcntlcncss and affection combined with
their mournful notes made doves
equally appropriate TO moods of sor-
row, and they We're part of the furni
turc of most pagan funerals. This
passed ON into Christian usage and
their llkenesses, generally combined
with the olive branch, were carved
on the tombs In the catacombS be
meath Rome and elsewhere, cmblematlc

In the Sporting Magazine for 1929
this appeared: pigeons are rarely

tom of the abstinence from the flesh
of the dove Is far older than Christian
lty, being indeed in all probability con

Sir Richard i. Burton remarks: "EN-
er since Soah's dove every religion
seems To consider the pigeon us the
sacred bird For example every
mosque swurms with pigeons, and the
same exist In most Italian market
places. The Ilndoo pundts and the
