CREATION'S CHRONOLOGY.
CHAPTER VII.—continued.
The laying of the Foundation of Solomon's Temple took place,
as we are told, in the fourth year of his reign, which was the year of
the world 2 9 9 3 , A.M. This, as we have before intimated, is counting
thefirstyear as year o, until its completion; just as we reckon a child's
age. It is necessary to remember this. Subtracting three whole years
from the above we obtain the year 2 9 9 0 A.M., or 1 0 1 4 B.C., as the
beginning of Solomon's reign over Israel.
As his father David commenced to reign forty years before, over
Judah, we obtain by the subtraction of forty for the A M . years, and by
addition for the B.C years, the year 2 9 5 0 A.M., or 1 0 5 4 B.C. as the
beginning of King David's reign. Similarly we obtain the date for the
commencement of the reign of King Saul, 2 9 1 0 A.M.
The Temple of Solomon was seven years in the building; and as
the materials were brought to the site ready prepared, "there was
neither hammer, nor axe, nor iron heard in the House, while it was in
the building." I Kings vi: 7. This was a beautiful type of the up-
building of the Church of God in this Christian dispensation, when
the members of the mystical Body of the Anointed are built up "as
lively stones " into " a spiritual house, an holy priesthood, to offer up
spiritual sacrifices, acceptable to God by Jesus Christ." I Pet. i i : 5.

was said unto .them (Israel) Ye are not my people, there it shall
be said unto them (the same Israelites) Ye are the sons of the
living God." Hos. i : 10. And again the apostle Paul, quoting
this game prophecy of Hosea, relating to Israel, shews it began to
be fulfilled in gospel times, God visiting these same "Gentiles" to
take out a people for His Name. Rom. 9 : 26, compared with Acts
15: 14-17-
"Then blessed be the L O R D God of Israel" for His faithfulness
in visiting and redeeming His people.

Our blazing sun then swung around—I think " ours" was
the first, .
Though not quite sure about the date—it seems one of the
worst ?
For every star's a sun you know, and some are greater far
T h a n ours, which scientists affirm is but a little star!
This " crust," of course, was baked so hot the oceans must
have boiled,
Evaporation wasted some till what was left was spoiled ;
A salty sediment was formed, which is their common fault,
But only Evolutionists know why the sea is salt!
Some specks of this live jelly pushed out arms to catch the
prey,
They could not see at first, you see ? so had to feel their way ;
Some pushed out legs determinedly.and feet.or fins and claws,
Just as they needed them,you know;and all by "Natural laws!"
They then evolved to fishes-, and some crawled upon the sand,
While others jumped till they could fly, despising those on
land ;
But these made up by flights of thought, evolving latent mind,
The fish begat the beast and that—man-monkeys, then—
mankind !
Just think how great was Darwin to discover all the past
Development of animals ; I hope that it will last !
But some are lagging far behind, and old forms still persist,
Like clouds of nebulosity in space, which must have mist!

pleasure therein,"—Ps. cxi. %>

"And God made T W O great L I G H T S ; the greater light to rule the day
and the lesser light to rule the night; the'-stars also. And God set toe
in thefirmamentof the heaven to give light "upon the earth, and to rul
over the day and over the night, and to divide the light from tru,
darkness." G E N . i. 16—18. The moon therefore has a light of her own
Spheres do not reflect full discs.
"In them (the heavens) hath He set a tabernacle for the sun, which ig

torun his course** His G O I N G F O R T H is from the end of the heaven, an
his Circuit unto the ends of it. Ps. xix. 4 — 6 , R.V. The sun, therefore,
as well as the moon, moves over and around thefixedearth.

(60, * goes in ') and hasteth to his place where he ariseth." Eccles. i. 5.

'* To Him. that made great lights . . . . the sun to rule by day . . .
the moon and stars to rule by night.'* Ps. cxxxvi. 7 — 9 .
Our Lord confirms the fact that the stars are but small "lights," not
worlds, nor suns. In fact thefixedstais are so small ihai the most powerful
telescope cannot magnify them into discs. Jesus said that iney (not
mere meteors but hoi asteres, the stars) ** shall fall trom heaven

What do these verges teach but that G.nl made the sun, moon, and
stars, to serve the earth, in comparison of which they are very near and
very small, and that they circle in thefirmamentor dome of heaven,
ringing their light and " rule " consecutively to every part of the world ?

Dear Madam,
Referring to the experiments at Salter's Lode,
Downham, Norfolk, May i ith, 1904, I have much pleasure in
testifying to the fairness of the conditions under which they
were conducted. I arrived on the spot with the distinct idea
that nothing could be seen of the sheet at a distance of six
miles, but on arrival at Welney I was surprised to find that
with a telescope, placed two feet above the level of the water,
I could watch the fixing of the lower edge of the sheet, and
afterwards to focus it upon the ground glass of the camera
placed in the same position.
The atmospheric conditions were very unfavourable, a day
of sunshine having succeeded several wet days and thereby
caused an aqueous shimmering vapour to float unevenly on
the surface of the canal and adjoining fields. This prevented
the image from being as sharply defined as it would be under
better conditions; but the sheet is very plainly visible
nevertheless. This trouble is well known to all who have
practised telephotography.
With regard to the lens used. I may say that this had an
equivalent focal length of between 16 and 17 feet, which
ensured an image of appreciable size being obtained at such
a distance.
I should not like to abandon the globular theory off-hand,
but, as far as this particular test is concerned, I am prepared
to maintain that (unless rays of light will travel in a curved
path) these six miles of water present a level surface.
Yours faithfully,

Let A C represent the mast 20 feet high, and C B the hull 10 fet
high; E the line of sight 5 feet above the surface of the water B D.
The horizon will be formed at V, where the sea appears to meet the
line of sight E V. The hull C B will appear to vanish gradually and
equally until it is lost at V, because its higher and lower parts are equi-
distantfrom,the line of sight E V ; but the mast which rises 20 feet
higher will not vanish at the same time, but will do so at a greater dis-
tance on the line E V. Thus, besides being against a clearer back-
ground, it will be evident that in such a position the hull must disappear
first, and the mast afterward, by the laws of perspective alone. Because
a
a hull would disappear if it actually went behind a hill * it is concluded
that the world is a globe; but if the earth were a globe a ship's hull
could never be restored to sight. As this czn. happen on aflatsurface,
it .can only be regarded that the earth and sea form a vast plane. It
can, however, be demonstrated and practically proved in other ways
that the sea is a vast extended plane, and that the world is not a globe.
