Dangers of Crowds

The collapse of a pier in America on
Empire Day, causing heavy death roll
furnishes striking Illustration of the
great forces exerted by crowds when
in motion. When a man is standing
still his weight acts vertically down

thrust greater than his weight saws
Tid-Bits. Consequently a crowd moving
rapidly on a structure like a pier exerts
a tremendous sideways pressure which
tends to throw the pier over. II a man

ment of soldiers marching in step

This book was, to be sure, but treat
ise and of a purely speculative charac-
ter but to revert to the history of the
pre-Adamtes, we must consult the pages
of the Book of Enoch. Such consulta-
ton must of necessity be prefaced by
momentary consideration of Enoch him.
self. 1t seems that the Arabs are pos
sessed of a much larger store of litera-
ture relative to the early prophets than
either the Hebrews or Christians. BY
them the prophet was known as Edris
and was declared to have been native
of Hindostan. This was in the days of
fire worship and so universal had the cult
become that in the year of Noah's ma
tivity there were not so persons who
worshipped the true living and only God.
Enoch was a tailor by trade and he
taught men how to cut garments out of
skins of animals and fashion them into
comfortable and comey shapes But this
was not his only accomplishment for the
Arabs declare that this prophet was the
first man to put pen to paper; that is,
the first human who had invented or
mastered the art of writing. He had in
his possession the books of Adam, though
as to who wrote them the Arabs are
silent and for 10 long years he never
slept, spending his nights in reading the
books. This gave him a reputation of
great erudition among the people and they
were willing to listen to him: consequent
ly God selected him as prophet to in

shipping.
The angel of death deemed Enoch such
a companionable parsonage that he sought
his company and solicited his friendship.
In truth he even promised the prophet
to grant any bequest that he might pc
tition. Then Enoch asked the angel to
take his SOUL but was told, as his ap-
pointed time for death had not come the
request could not be granted without the
consent of the Almighty. But the proph-
ct insisted that his soul should be taken
for little space and returned again to
his body, and Azrael, for he was the
angel, consented. AT the same instant
that Azrael bore Enoch's soul away, the
Eternal One restored it to him and the
prophet then besought the angel to con-
duct him to hell. After many protesta-
tions Azrael again yielded the point and
Enoch was shown the seven stages of
torment and the punishment inflicted upon
sinners. Still this did not suffice and
Azrael's companion insisted upon seeing
paradise. The All Merciful consented to
this and the angel led him to the portal
of the beyond. When the twain reached
the gate the porter. Rhidwan. protested.
saying that only man who had tasted
death could be allowed to enter. Enoch
replied, II have tasted death; the soul
that have will dwell eternally with me;
God has resuscitated me from DEATH"
Upon command from Deity. Rhidwan
consented and bade Enoch to enter, but

prophet promised to do, but as ne passed
through the threshold upon leaving he
turned and informed Rhidwan that he
had left something behind him and begged
permission to return and fetch it. The
gate keeper refused and regular par
ley ensued. Said Enoch: II am a prophet
and God has sent me 80 books, and
have written them all and never revolted
against God. In those books that God
sent me 1 was promised paradise. If it
be necessary that should have under
gone death have undergone it. If 1T
be necessary that I should have seen
hell I have seen it. Now l am come to
paradise and that is my home; God has
promised it to me and now that 1 have
entered I will leave it no more"
The disputants created such commo-
tion that the Almighty bade Rhidwan
open the gate and permit Enoch to re-
enter paradise, where he still dwells. But
Enoch did write some books, or at least
there is today extant work of which
he is the accredited author The Book Of
EnochN was quoted in the Epistle of ST.
Jude, while Origen, st. Augustine, ST.
Clement of Alexandria and others of the
early fathers of the church. 1t is also
frequently quoted in the apocryphal Tes-
lament of the Twelve Patriachs, which
the Armenian church regards as canon
ical and it was extensively used by the
early Christian writes. Indeed so late
as the eighth century it was borrowed
from by the monk George Syncellus in
the composition of the Chrongraphy. But
with this last extract it was unknown to
the western world until the eighteenth
century. 1t is true that the Jews remem-
bered It, but had lost the Hebrew text,
though eastern rabbis alluded to 1t down
to the thirteenth century and the Book
Sonar makes reference to it. ,A
These Talmudic writers spoke of Enoch
as Metatron the great writer) a name
given to him by God after his transla-
ton. Indeed the Rabbi Menachem in his
commentary on the Five Books of Moses
declares that Rabbi Ishmael once spoke
to Metatron and asked him why he was
higher than any angel and dearer than
any servant and Metatron told him how
from being simple shoemaker on earth
he was transplanted because at every
stitch of his work he had said 'the name
OF God and his majesty be praised"
Enoch continued and declared, II am

holy, ever-blessed God wrousht--when the
races of the flood Il. e., the sinners who
lived at the time of the occurrence of
the flood sinned and did unrighteously

Enoch's Book of the Dream His
tory" closes with the history of the
world until the end of time.
But now we approach some subtle
logic, namely the argument of those
who maintain that the negro is tho
relic exclusively of the Pre- -Adamite
race, and that he possesses no soul.
The advocates of this theory proffer
the face that the heads of the Pre-Adam-
ties were so flat as to cause the Per-
SLAMS to call the race Nim-ser and the
negro of today displays a flat Uranium
as distinguishing racial characteris-
tic. This Identifies him physically with
the Pre-Adamites. The negro's spir-
itua1 void is supported from the fact
that in Genesis 1t is recorded that God
created the first man, that is the Pre-
Adamite, after His own image, bur
when He created Adam, He breathed
into his nostrils the breath of life
and man became a living soul" Thus
there We're two creations and to the
latter only was a soul given. Again.
in Romans 5:12-13 we read: There
for. as through one man sin entered
into the world, and death through sin;
and so death passed unto all men for
that all sinned-for until the law sin
was in the world; but sin Is not i'm
puted when there is no law" Having
no soul, the law was not given to the
the negro and this absence of inhib-
its him from committing sin response
oily.
Taken in less restricted sense, how
ever. the same deduction is applicable
to all Gentiles and If, as maintained by
Isaac de la Peyreira, the Jews alone
are the descendants of Adam, then we
Gentiles. white as wei as black, are
soulless.
Even the orthodox have stumbled az
the problem of the Land of Nod and
the source from which Cain obti ined
his wife. There are. however, Welsh
authors who maintain in all serious
ness that present inhabitants of Wales
are the lineal descendants of the chill
dren of Nod and they base their ar
guments upon certain physical charac-
teristics that are identical with these
two peoples.

Z In the year A. d. 1878 Bruce, the great
African traveller, brought from Abyssinia
the Book of Enoch in two MSS. The
text was in Ethiopic and was probably
written in the year 110 B. c., but candor
alluded to in the Testament of the Twelve
Patrlarchs are not to be found in the
original. This find of Bruce's did not
attract muchi attention until 1900 when
De Sacy mentioned it In his Magasine
Encyclopedique and in the following year

that we have to do.
The first part tells of the fall of the
angels and their union with the daugh-
ters of men. So. we see that when the
angels fell this earth was already in
habited The two unfortunate angels
were named Aza and Azael and their
fall was due to their presumption in
questioning the wisdom of the Almighty
in creating man. They maintained that
the humans would but anger Deity. God
answered and said: 20 angel, If you
were in the lower world you too would
sim" when he sent the angels on jour-
ney below. Now it seems that when an
angel spends seven days upon earth he
becomes opaque and Aza and Azael were
so pleased with the attractions of the
daughters of men that they tarried too
long and became Opaque, that is, they
were given bodies of flesh. All angels
are familiar with the unpronouncable
name which few mortals have the power
to utter and before the utterance OF
which Satan himself flees away in horror.
This name is ''Shem hamphorasch," and
when Aza and Azael realized what their
tarrying meant they repeated this name
that they might regain their former sta

retired to lead hernit's life in cave.
But his son was murdered and Kaiumarth
remounted the throne to ayenge Siamek' s
death. He recovered the sons body and
over his grave he built and lzindled a great
fire which was kept perpetually burning
and from this originated the worship Of
fire among the people of Iran. Just as
the knights, the prophets and the saints
of old used to vanquish dragons and grif-
fins. so did Kaiumarths son, Huschenk,
conquer all manner of terrible monsters.
He subdued the giant Scmendoun who
had three heads and bestrode a beast with
II legs. This beast, named Rakhsche,
was cross between a crocodile and a
hippopotamus and fed upon serpents.

chenk was killed by mass of rock which
