WE STAND UP FoR NOAH.

Poor old Noah! After having for
more than 1000 years borne the honors
OF being the first ship builder and nav
igator. now to have q slight cast upon
his memory and reputation by the re-
fusal of the Society of Naval Architects
and Marine Engineers to admit him to
honorary membership in their guild
it's entirely too bad. Whether Noah
was not a member OF the Shipbuildefs'
Union or whether the construction of
the ark was not in accordance with
modern ideas of naval architecture, or
what were the particular reasons for
the exclusion We are not informed: it
10 sufficient that his name Is not to be
enrolled among the honorary members
OF the high sounding organization.
But Noah--we forget his other name
was the pioneer shIphuildsr. all the
same. 1t may be that some of the ma
tives had constructed dug-outs. or bark
canoes. before his great feat was begun
and completed. but If SO that was
probably all that had been done In the
way Of naval architecture. 1t re-
manned for him to construct and navi-
gate what might well be called the
Leviathan Of the Deep. II not actually
some other name suitable for such
vessel
And the ark was no pigmy. let 1t be
understood. While it did not come up
in size 20 some of the more modern
vessels that now lord It over the ocean
1t was of a size that would compare
favorably with the ships OF modern
times up to a recent period Putting
the cubt at the lowest figure usually
given It. the ark was $50 feet long, and
that was no SLOUGH in size.
1t may be that the ark was not con-
Atructed in accordance with modern
plans and theories OF naval architec-
ture, but even II that Is true 1t re-
fleets no discredit on Noah. 1t was
built according to plans and directions
given directly by the Almighty. and
was built for a special purpose. God
told Noah how and of what material 1t
should be built. the size it should be.
and all the details of construction. If
1t was not built as this modern Soci-
ETY. would have built 1t they have no
right to blame the builder, He was
acting under orders, and we insist that
he made a pretty good job of It, for
hrst effort. II answered the purposes
for which 1t was intended at all
events
