Seven in Human Life

A MOTHER writer divides the human life as
n follows: At three times seven a man
reaches competent age in the eyes of the law
at four times seven he is in full possession of his
strength at five times seven he is fit for the
business of the world; at six times seven he
becomes grave and wise, if he is ever destined
to; at seven times seven he is in his apogee,
and from that time he begins to decay; at
eight times seven he is in his first clmacteric at
nine times seven he is in his grand clmacteric,
and at ten times seven he has reached the
allotted span of life.
This number plays prominent part in events
in the Bible. The Creation took six days,
and on the seventh there was rest. On the
seventh day of the seventh month holy
observance was ordained, and the Israelites
Toasted seven days and rested seven days.
Noah had seven days warning of the flood,
and the seven years of plenty were fore
told in Pharaoh's dream by seven fat beasts,
as were the seven years of seven lean beasts.
We speak of the seven heavens, and the
seventh son was supposed to be endowed with
prominent wisdom.
In short, there is no other number which
enters into the Bible so often as seven. No
doubt the wide popularity of the number and
the superstitions which are connected with
it came from its wide use in the Bible.
