A Memphis Man's Discovery.
The chronology of the Bible has
been the puzzle of biblical scholar
ship for many years, and in view
of the conflicting theories, it was
hardly expected that there wuold
ever be a satisfactory solution of
the problem. It was apparently
an impossibility to bling the
chronology of the sacred books in
to harmony with the Olympiads,
the years of Rome,Ptolemy’s canon
and “the years of the kingdom of
the Greeks.” But a Memphis man
claims to have discovered a year
by year chronology from Adam to
Christ; and this discovery hecon
tends, is proof of the inspiration
of the Scriptures, “because only
One Intelligence could havedirect
ed so many pens in so many ages
to record events and dates that
have been hidden in the Bible dur
ing many centuries.” Mr. Buttler
Jack, the discoverer of this secret
has just issued a phamphlet set
ting forth in skeleton form what
ho has accomplished; and if there
are no flaws in his reasoning, the
importance of his discovery can
hardly be overestimated. On this
point we do not pretend to pass
judgement. Mr. Jack’s discovery
is interesting, however, from more
points of view than one. He has
for a quarter of a century been an
enthusiastic student of chronology,
and some of the results reached by
him seem to have been in answer
to his prayers. On one occasion
after a midnight struggle in faith,
that pivotal era “the year of Abra
ham,” was suddently made clear
to him ; and he is firmly convinced
that this was not attained by study
alone. This discovery was made
about five years ago, but a compe
tent solution of the chronological
problem was not effected until Jan
uary, 189 T, when after another
strange midnight struggle, the
whole subject was illuminated for
him; and ho now claims that he
has been able “to span the stream
of time” and has gone back, stop
by step, to the begining of geneal
ogies.
1 f Mr. Jack’s system is thorough
ly fortified, there are no longer
any gaps in chronology,and a har
monixation of the various nation
al systems has been attained. Mr.
Jack attaches chief importance to
his work as an indication of the
inspiration of the Scriptures, but
if his solution is correct, it cannot
fail to possess a great historical
value. The excavations in Baby
lonia are constantly throwing new
light on ancient monuments and
are fortifying the Scriptural nar
ratives, and these in connection
with an accurate chronology ought
to settle many debated points.
At any rate the discovery of a con
sistent chronology from Adam to
Christ possesses the charm of in
terest.—-Memphis Appeal'
A Brooklyn woman who ran a

Sunday School and Its Influence.
BY E. L. THACKER.
Bro. Supt. and Friends:—Virgil
the poet, sang of the arms of Enas;
Demosthanes the great Grecian or
ator, denounced the Phillipians.
Cicero reproved Catoline. William
J. Bryan mounted his silver eagle
and soared in the atmosphere of or
atory, but as for me, I shall speak
on Sunday school and its influ
ence. These men have influence,
but as time rolls by, these influ
ences will die, but I hold up an in
fluence to you today that will live
for ever.
During the Civil War Robert E.
Lee, as he marched under Southern
stripes, met his Apromattox court
house defeat. Napoleon as he
marched under the French flying
banner, with the pony of an empe
ror, shaking the tottering thrones
of Europe with his startling
appearance, met his Waterloo. So
are the banners of all nations sub
ject to their Waterloo. lam proud
to say we are flagging under a ban
ner today which can never fail, and
whose captain knows no defeat.
If you will track the Christian’s
record back to the beginning of
their era, we will find that they
have come down through blood
shed and suffering. The dark
black night of a thousand years
rested upon the entire coast of
Europe, and at the termination of
seventeen hundred and fifty years
Christianity had made but little
progross in the world. Kingdoms
were continually rising against
each other, and the confines of na
tions were scenes of blood shed and
suffering, instead of adhering to
she mission of peace, which Christ
brought, when he made his advent
into the world. I believe that God,
looking down on this sincursed
world, and seeing the wickedness
of man, and the slow progress of
the church, through the instru
mentality of man, established the
Sunday school in order that the
gospel banner might be spread
abroad, and the declaration be ful
filled. That the gospel be preached
to every nation, kindred and
tongue. Today the gospel banner
floats over every land; men of
every nation, kindred and tongue
are becoming our brothers. Never
before in all the history of the
world has religion made such great
progress as since the establish
ment of the Sunday school It
walks hand in hand with the
church, and has been the potent
factor in accomplishing the great
progress of the church during the
nineteenth century. Infact, most
of the church of today have come
from the Sunday school ranks.
The other day I was thinking of
the relation the Sunday school
sustained to the church. This il
lustration presented itself to my
mind : The church is a great river,
the Sunday school is a current
principally composing this river.
It has its source where the child
is brought under good influence.
It rises upon the high hill out of
the rock of purity from whence it
flows down the gentle incline plane
carrying the youth within its
smooth current, while at the same
time just on the other side of the
hill there flows another current
which rises out of the current of
evil, near the fountain of purity,
from whence it rushes down the
rugged hill carrying the youth
from one vice to another worse.
The rapidity increases, it broadens
out into a great river of crime. I
say a river of crime, because it is
contrary and a violation to the
laws of God. At first the waters
are contaminated with idleness
and profanity, then with drunk
ness. Barrooms stand upon its
banks, right and left. On just be
low, the waters are darkened with
ever black crime conceivacle to |
mankind. The banks are lined
with penitentiaries, state prisons,
and the gallows, and all these are
supplied by this river of crime.
The current rushes on like the
restless waters in a mighty canon .
By this time the banks are almost ;
100 high and steep for the youth ]
to climb up and go and wash in
the fountain of purity It flows 1
on till finally it rushes over the
great cataract of death into ater- i
nity. Thus we see the youth that |
started in at that, evil current
landed into eternal night- Now,
let us go back to where we left the
youth gliding down the Sunday
school current basking in the sun
shine of Godliness. The ripliog
waves are not contaminated with
vice and corruption. No barrooms
stand upon its banks, but rather
benevolent institutions abound.
The waters are mingled with hon
esty, charity and everything that
pertains to the elevation of the up
rising generation. In fact, it is a
perfect stream of love, bridged by
the power of God. It flows on ti’l
the youth comes to the years of
maturity. Then by the cleansing
blood of Christ this current flows
into the great river of religion
amid shouts among us here below
and even the angels of Heaven.
Now the youth is safe within the
great river of religion, which has
its source in the wounds of a cru
cified and risen Redeemer. It has
been flowing for nearly two thous
and years. It is mingled with
blood not of crime, but the blood
of Martin Luther, John Bunyon
and all the rest of those blessed old
martyrs whose blood is the very
seed of the church. Its waters are
as sparkling diamonds and glitter
ing gold. It flows on and holds
nations together and were it to
sink, there would be a mighty
crash of empires and seas of blood.
Ws see no prison walls and scaf
folds standing on its banks, but we
do see civilized nations and benev
olent institutions abounding ev
erywhere, which are the fruits of
religion. It flows on till finally
the Death Angel with one foot on
land and the other on sea pro
claims “come home.” Then this
current flows quiescently into the
pearly gates of heaven, landing
safely the jewels of Christ amid
the shouts of Arch Angele and
loved ones who have gone before.
Thus we see the youth that started
in at that Sunday school cuirent,
landed safe on Canann’s shore,
while the youth that started-in at
the evil current landed into eter
nal night. Look at the difference.
It all depends upon the starting
point, and that is chargeable to
the parents. Which current do
you want your children to tra
verse, the one evil which means
de n th eternal, or the Sunday school
current which means life ever last
ing. Os course you want them to
meet you in a better world. Then
take them to Sunday school, bring
them under good influence and
some sweet day beyond death’s
river there will be one unbroken
family within the jasper walls of
heaven.
The hopes of our country rests
upon the uprising generation, and
in order for this to remain a land
of Christianity, a land of the free
and a home of the brave, a land in
which every man can worship un
der his own vine and fig tree, they
must be brought up to the princi
pals of truth in the royal path of
life.
