AsSAILS ATTITUDE OF SHAW.
WashingtOnian Says Bible Is AU-
thentic and VIII Not Die,

/ You gave prominent notice Ia this morn
! Iing's issue 10 the views Of one George
/ Barnard Shaw. with reference to the
Bible. and 1 suppose you viii publish a
/ few lines in opposition 20 his views He
evidently judges the Bible by the incon-
sistent and unfaithful theories that are
promulgated by its professed guardians
Iand expositors: viz: the CleTgy." Not
/ one in a hundred cIergymen in the United
States C'clergymen," includes minis
tiers and priests" and professors and
| publishers believes that the Bible con-
Itains an accurate and historical record
OF time.
/ Rut it can be clearly and indisputedly
shown that there is in it a scientific rec
/ ord of time for seven thousand years,
NEARLY six thousand Of which are his
tOr1cal and the other thousand prophetic.
The Hebrew Scriptures and the Greek
/ New Testament writings contain a re-
Imarkable scientific chronology with an
/ Iequinoctial basis. which gives every year
and month and DAY from the beginning Of
! genealogies cat the expulsion from Eden
/ TO the Cricitixi0n. and "a forecast Of time
from that historical fact 20 the end of
/ the Adamic dispensatiOn in 232 A d.
/ II can be shown that the fiocd began on
the seventh day of the week, on the
I17th day of the second lunar month,
Iof the, 1651th year of the Adamic
era. corresponding 18th Saturday, Oc-
tober "A, in the 2l3th year, before the
! Christian era; and on the first day Of the
solar year. 1857, from Adam and Ewes
expulsion from the Garden Of Eden.
/ II can be shown that the Exodus oc-
cUrred in the spring of 1872. 3. c., that
the temple Of Solomon was dedicated in
the autumn of 1014. p. c.; that the sec
/ ond temple was dedicated in the spring
loI 5l3. b. c., Cninth regular year of
Darius Hystaspes); that Herod made a
covenant with the Jews and began
/ preparations for remodelIing his temple
/ in the spring of %. b. c.. and that these
/ three temple events happened in three
several Sabbatic jubilee years, 400 years
apart
/ Il can be shown that the temple of
/ Solomon was burned "on the seventh
Iday" OF the week in the eleventh year
\ of Zedekiah, on the tenth day of 4. B.,
/ in the year 3l79 of the Adamic era, cor
responding TO Saturday, July 26, $50, B. c.
/ 1t can be shown beyond fear Of sue
Cessful contradiction that the days Of
the week are IN exactly the same order
now as they were at the beginning, and
! that every seventh day and every seventh
year In this record of time, has been and
/ is still a day, and a year, Of rest Or
comfort" as when Noah was born.
/ It can be shown that the times Of
/ snt Gentiles' began in $50. B. c.. and will
run out IN 1892 at a period Of 2520 years
/ (361x7-2520,.
/ He who Spake as never man spake de-
clared that Jerusalem should be trodden
down Of the Gentiles until the times Of the
Gentiles should be fulfilled" and the
signs of the revival Of IsraeTs hope CO.
/ incides with the threatened downfall of
/ I"ChristendOm," when doom was prophe-
sled by Him who said Il will spue thee
cut of my mouth"
If Mr.. Shaw and his gang succeed in
casting off the Bible, then Roman pa
ganism will succeed, and THE yellow
Iperil' make short work of modern civ
| ilization"
/ But the Bible will remain unshaken as
lit is new, Notwithstanding the assaults
/ of its open enemies and the secret un-
dernnining of its professed friends
| The consensus Of opinion declares that
it contains no chronological or historical
record Of value but recent discoveries
/ have been made which reveal that the
/ chronological and historical statements Of
I the Holy Scriptures are confirmed by
the equinoctal movements of the sun and
moon. BUTLER JACK.
