As an Army Is divided into brigades and
regiments and companies, and they observe
this order in their march and their tread is
majestic, so tho time of the world’s exist
ence is divided into an army divinely com
manded; the eras avd the brigades, tho cen
turies are the regiments, and tho years are
the companies. Forward into the eternity
bast, out of the eternity to cornel Forward
Is tlio Command, and nothing can halt them
even though tho world should die. While
obeying my text, "('oustdor tho years o£
many generations,” I propose to speak o£
the “Chronology of the Bible,or God Among
t>/3 Centuries.”
Wo make a distinction between itlme and
eternity, but time is only apiece of eternitv,
and chronology lias boon ougaged in tho
sublime work of dividing up this portion o£
eternity that wo call time into compart
ments end putting events in their right
compartment. It is as much an injustice
against the past to wrongly arrange its
evouts as it would bo an injustice if, through
neglect of ohronologfoal accuracy, it should
in the far distant future be sajd that Ameri
ca was discovered in 1770, ami the Declara
tion of Independence Was signed in 1403,
and Washington born on tho 23d of March,
and the Civil Wav of the United States was
fought in 1840,
As God puts all the events dt tinie in the.
right place, let Us be careful that we do not •
put them in the wrong place. The chron--
olOgy of tho Bible takes six stops, but they
are Btops so long it makes us hol d our breath
As wo watch the movement. From Adam
to Abraham. From Abraham to tha exodus
out of Egypt. From the exodus to tho
foundation of Solomon’s temple. From the
foundation of Solomon's temple to tho de
struction of that temple. From the destruc
tion of the temple to the roturtt from Baby
lonish captivity. From Babylonish cap
tivity to the birth of Christ.
Chronology takes pen and pencil, and call
ing astronomy and history to help say si.
‘•Let us flx one event from whloh to calcu
late everything. Lot It bo a stnr, tilt Beth
lehem star, the Christinas star” And from
that wo go back and keu tho world was
treated 4004 years boforo Christ; tho deluge,
•am* 2348years before Christ; the exodus*
OUt bf Egypt occurred 1401 years boforo
Christ, and Solomon's temple was destroyed
580 years before Christ.
Chronology enters the first chapter of
Genesis and says tho day mentioned there isj ,
not a day of twenty-four hours, but of ages,- ’
the word there translated as "day” In other
places meaning ages, and so tho Ulbte ac

something In quite another place, you gain
the Victory, and infidelity has tflod to prove
nn alibi by contending that evouts and eir
puirtstatlees in tho Blblo ascribed to certain
tjmes must havo taken place at some other
time, if they took place nt all. But this
book's chronology lias never boon caught nt
fault. It 1ms been proved that when tho
Hebrews wont into Egypt thero were only
seventy of them, and that) when they came
out there wero 3,01:0,000 of them.
“Now,” says infidelity, with n gulTaw that
It cannot suppress, "what an absurdity]
llioy wont down into Egypt seventy nnd
carno out 3,000,000. That is a falsehood on
the face of it. Nations do not increase In
that, ratio.” But, my skeptical friend, hold
a moment. Tho Bible says that tho Jews
wore 430 years in Egypt, and that explains
the increase from seventy poi sons to 8,000 -
000, for It is no more, blit rather lesh Ilian
tho ordinary.inereaso of nations. Tho Pil
grim Fnthors came to America in tho May
flower, ono small shipload of passongers, loss
than 800 years ago, afid now wo havo a
nation of 00,000,0110. Whore, then, is so

that it took tho accumulated iugonuiby of
more than 6000 years to make one. Chron

Di', llusb, tho greatest and busiest phy
sichut of his day, appreciated tho value of
time, and when asked how ho had boon
able to gather so much information for ttle
books and lectures ho replied: “I have been
able to do it by economizing my tiine. I
havo not spent one hour in amusement in
thirty years.” And taking a bankbook
from liis pocket ho said, “I All a book liko
this ovory week with thoughts that Occur to
me nnd facts collected In the rooms of my
patients.”
Napoleon appreciated the value of time
when tho suu was sinking upon Waterloo;
and ho thought that a little more time
woiild rotrieve his foHunos, and he pointed
to the sinking sun ana said, t4 Whafc would I
not give to be this day possessed of the
power df Joshua nnd enabled tt> retard thy

appreciated the value of time when at
ninety-threo years of age she said, “Tho
Judge of. nil the earth does not moan that l
shall havo any excuse for not beiug prepared
to meet Him.”
Voltaire, the blatant infidel, appreciated
the value of time when in his dying mo
ments he said to his doctor, 4 ‘I will give you
half of what l am worth If you will give me
six mohths of life,” and when told tnat he
could.uot live six weeks !he bm»st into tears
and said, “Then 1 shall go to hellt” John
Wesley appreciated tho value ol’ time when
ho stood on his stops watching for a delayed
cari’lago to tako him to nn appointment,
saying, “I have lost ten minutes forever.”
Lord Nelson appreciated tho value of time
when ho said, “I owe everything in the
world to boing always a quarter of an hour
beforehand.”
A clock maker in ono of the old English
towns appreciated tho valuo 6t time when
ho put on tho front of the town clock the
words, “Now or wheu?” Mitchell, the as
tronomer, appreciated tho value of time
when ho said, “I have boeu in the habit of
calculating the value of a thousandth part
of a second.” That minisfcor of the Gospel
did not appreciate the value of time who,
during a season of illness, instead of employ
ing liis time in useful reading or writing,
wrote a silly religious I’omance, which in
some unknown way came into tho possession
of the famous Joe Smith, who introduced
tho book us u divino revelation, which be
came the foun tation of Mormonism, the
most beastly ubotuination of all time.

Chemistry teaches us that there is a very

will put instantly into conflagration the

Wince I settled in my own mind tho fact
that God was stronger than tho devil I have
never lost faith in tho emparadisation of
this planet. With tlio exception of a retro
gression in tho Dark Ages, tho niovomeut of
the world has l»3en on and on, and up and
the centuries, the decades the yeer^thi

Think of making appointmonts as in the
Bible days for the time of tho new moon.
Think of making one of the watc hes of the
light in Bible times a rooster crowing. The
<Hblo says: “Beforo tho cock crow thou
£ialt deny me thrice,'* “If the Master com-
•th at the cockcrowing,” and that was the
f ay the midnight watch was indicated.
he crowing of that barnyard bird has al
ways been ino3t uncertain. The crowing is
ftt. the lowest temperature of the night, and
Ihe amount of dew and tho direction of the
erind may bring the lowest temperature at
11 o’clock at night or 2 o’clock ia the moru-
and at any one of six hours. Just be
fore a rain the crowing of chanticleer in the
night is almost perpetual.
Compare these modes of marking time
with our modes of marking time, when VI
o’clock is 12 o’clock, and 0 o’clock is 6
o’clock, and 10 o’clock is 10 o’clock, and in
dependent of all weathers, aud then thank
God that you live now. But notwithstand
ing all the imperfect modes of marking
hours or years or centuries Bible chronol
ogy never trips up, never falters, never con
tradicts itself, and here is one of tbeba-.t ar
guments for the authenticity of the Scrip
tures.
If you can prove an alibi in tho court*,
ami you can prove beyond doubt that you
were in some particular place at tho time
uew year.
But the other thought coming out of this
subject is that Biblical chronology, and in-
dee 1 all chronology, is urging the world to
more punctuality and immeiliateneKs. What
an unsatisfactory and indefinite thing it
must have been for two business men in tho
time of Ahaz to make an appointment, say
ing, “Wo will settle that business matter to
morrow when tho shadow on the dial of
Ahaz reaches tho tenth step from tho ton,”
or “J will meet you in the street called
Straight In Damascus in the time d£ the
new moon,” or when asked in a courtroom
what time an occurronco took place sho uld
answer, “it was during th6 time of the latter
rain,” or “it was at tiie time of the third
crowing of the barnyard!”
You and I remember whan ministers of
tha Gospel lathe country, giving out a no*
tice of an evening service, instead of saying
k, would say. “Tho ser
vice will begin at early candlo light.”
Thank God for chronological achievcnunts
which havo ushered in calendars and al
manacs and clocks and watches, and at so
cheap a rate all may.possess them! Chron
ology, beginning by appreciating tho v.iluo
of yours and tho value of days, has kept on
until it crioi outi “Man, immortal; woman,
immortal; lookout lor that minute; look out
for that second I”
We talk a great deal about the valuo of
time, but will never fully appreciate its
valuo until the last fragment of it has passe 1
out of our possession, forever. Tho greatest
fraud a man can commit is to rob another
of his time. Hear it, ye laggards and re

Nobc anil Throat.
In a recent lecture before the Chem
ists’ Assistants’ Association, London, by
William Hill, M.D.j London, tho throat
was described in detail; and tho pharynx
and tho larynx pointed out as the two
most important pnrta. The nose has a
very important connection with the
throat and its disorders. It contains a
scries of bones called tho turbinated
bones, which expose a large surface ot
warm blood, and cause tho air inhaled
to bo warmed ready for tho lungs; more
over, the cilia of the noso cause tho so
up, and 1 havo two jubilant hosannas—one ,/ .
for the closing year and tho other for tht crotion to move and reject the solid, par
ticles it has collected. Tho noso is tho
proper organ for breathing, not tho

mouth. Tho laryux, which is tho air
passage* is bounded at its upper ex
tremity by tlio vocal cords, aud has,
therefore, the double functiou of breath
ing and phonation. The epiglottis, by
altering its form, causes tlio food to pass
down the pharynx, and keeps it from
the larynx. In .speaking of proper
breathing, tho author pointed out that
diaphragmatic breathing was tho proper
method, and not clavicular. It was re
ported that Rubini bad broken his
clavicle during singing, by persisting in
this method of breathing. Throat dis
eases are often caused by germs, by in
halation of sewer gas, etc. Fortunately,
there are other organisms in the *throat
always ready to attack those germs. The
throat was well provided with tonsils,
both faucial and lingual. The tonsils
produce phagocytes or leucocytes, amoe
boid corpuscles which actually swallow
up the germs. Why, then, should ton
sils be cut out? Because, when they be
come enlarged and horny, they lose this
function, and by removing tho horny
surface, the newly exposed portion can
go on producing tho corpuscles. The
decay of teeth is largely duo to germs.
This shows tho importance of keeping
tho teeth in order. Obstruction in the
nose is the cause of many throat dis
orders. People liable to throat disorders
should bo very chary of eating piquant
or hot dishes. Irritating remedies, too,
such as cayenne and (except in special
| cases) tannin lozenges or nitrate of all—
| ver, should be avoided. Hot tea, too,
! is bad.—Scientific American.
