Noah, who was a , gi eat and wise man and perfect in hlsdav and generation, and greatly favorea of the Lord, who walked and talked with him, and the Lord said to Noali that because of the awful wickedness of the Inhabitants of the whole earth; having set their hearts to do evil continually, and become corrupt cor-rupt In all their ways. Therefor, I the Lord, have determined to bring a Hood to cover ti whole earth that every living liv-ing thing that moves on thu earth may perish, nud now I", the Lord, command you to go to work to prepare to build an ark for the preservation of yourself and family, and likewise for tho preservation preser-vation of suoli animals as I will name to be preserved fur the use and benefit of mankind who may people the earth hereufter. And tho Lord walked with Noah and instructed him regarding the way and manner the ark should be built and Noah done whatever the Lord commanded, and when tho ark was completed the Lord said to Noah, I have ordained ways and means whereby where-by to accomplish all my purposes; therefor I will explain how tho earth will be covered by the flood, even to the highest mountains. And the Lord called Noah's attention loa planet mov-'nC mov-'nC in tho heavens toward thecarth and t'l him It would rVnltnue In Its course "JVjlit hjjj pproAWpor "5 to cau iKeirilj,-r wjqafta yMi &T-ihS dUeatti'ib rush ovS "jBd till the fountains of thegrcJwp arp torn up and tho whole eatth Is deluged. And so It was thaj-Noalisaw and comprehended th way 'the Lord had prepared to accomplish accom-plish his purpose to destroy and cause everything living that moved on the earth to perish, and it grieved bin heart. Noah was six hundred years old when he nhU his family, with auimnls -which tho Lord had named entered tho Mi'u, and the Lord shut him In, und la (.even days the waters wcralcn tho earth, nnd the Hood bore up thunulc, ami in two months and seventeen data the fountains' of the grentjdoep were torn up. and ne wn-dowajof wn-dowajof heaven opened and it rained on the eAi itj fui ty dajs and forty nights, and 'U'o water increased until the mountiuns werecorercd, and the wnt-ers wnt-ers prcniUedou the earth ono hundred nnd fifty days.

In a late isme of the News an nccount was published of a late discovery by Dr. Leon of an ancient city located on a mountainous stretch ot land rising fbruptly above the surrounding plnlns in old Mexico. No doubt these cities were fouuded nnd built by the ttntede-Itivlansand ttntede-Itivlansand the laud which they occupied, occu-pied, and no doubt cultivated, was washed away and perished by tho Hoods, and thotc maslve ruins high on the mountain sides plainly indicate what was tho awful fate of the inhabit, ants of these great cities. What a terrible, ter-rible, sad story this is to contemplate.
