The Story of Noah's Arfcv From the time of the murder of Abel to the time of Noah the Bible devotes considerable consider-able space to the genealogical records of the descendants of Adam. One of these descendants, Jubal, was the first musician; and another. -Tubal-Cain, was the first worker in brass and iron. Adam lived nine hundred hun-dred and thirty years, and Methuselah reached the record age of nine hundred and sixty-nine years. But old as these patriarchs were they failed to learn wisdom with their years, and "the wickedness of man was ereat in the earth." Gen. 6: 6, we are told. "And it repented the Lord that He had made man on the earth, and it rrieved Him at His heart. Determined to wipe out the whole race and make a fresh start, God chose Noah, his wife and their three sons, Shem, Ham and Japheth. for survivaL Noah was instructed to build a ark to bold his family, together with male and female rerrpspntativeB of each species, and provisions for them alL In this picture Merian portrays the completed ark. with the animals entering it, while Noah pnyt for divine guidance.
