for Will find scattered throughout
both? mediums] and modern liter»
ture, that the World will last 6,000
years from the date of its creation.
Au Inscription in one of Martin Lu-
ther‘s books _ as follows: “Elij
the prophet. said that the world he
ousted 2,000 years before the law
was given (from Adam to Moses),
would exist 2,000 years under the
Mosaic law (from Moses to C ' l
and 2,000 years under the Chm
dispensation, and then it would be
burned "
in the Etrurian account of the cm-
ation (by Strides) I find a similar tra-
dition, “The Creator spent 6,000
years in creation, and 0,000 more are
allotted to the earth."
In the black letter edition of Foxe’s
“Acts and Monuments" there is a
whole sermon given, with the 6,000
year limit of the earth’s duration as
a text. (See above work, edition of
1632.)
Some writers contend that the “six
days" referred to in Holy Writ really
means 6,000 years. and that the “sev.
enth day"is a type of the coming
millennium, or “Sabbath of a thou-
sand years.” The Psalmist says,
“For a thousand years are in thy
sight as yesterday.“ (Psalm re, 4.

THE WHITE RUBBER GOAT.
Lord Byron looks with n lmughly stare
Straight out from the sholfut me.
With the handsome-«t wave to his smooth
bi we lutll‘
That a mm would care to see.
And the proudest curl to his silent lip.
And the coldest nml loftlest smile.
With his head sot buck or n lordly tip
O‘er that collar of tlurlng style.
And down in the corner of that some shelf
As meek as a gout might be.
A white rubber gout ~ ashamed of himself»-
Stands n‘abbllnghis heard at me.
A whltc rubber gout that I happened to know
Has a wonderful whlstle somewhere
Concealed in the region that's hid below
The wealth of bls rubber balr.
The willie rubber goat is a homely goat,
Wlth eyes that are bloodsbot and red,
And lumpy whiskers that hang from his throat
In a bunch like a heard of lead,
And the voice that he shrinks from his stomach
is shrill
And his figure is awkward and equal.
But 1 Wri‘n that that white r'll bber goat will
fulllll
An errand which Byron cannot.
Oh, Byron, look down with your cold. bisque
eye
And acorn the white gout if you willl
You never can quiet my baby's cry
With that countenance haughty and chill.
Thls critic of art. with her rosy fist
“'lll pass you all scornfully by
For the goat whose red mouth in!» white has
been kissed
And whose voice is a squeeze whistle‘s cry.
