Again there existed flood among some of the / merican

vor of a flood.*The Fiji Islanders too are said to have tradition in which, remark-~- ably enough, eight pereuns are saved in a canoe from a’fvod of waters. But protr ably the moat remarkable parallel to the Bible account ie foued in the records of Chaldea.

In the yeara@-2, Mr George Smith found in that coustry a series of tablets which eontained a poem, or collection of p ems telling of the adwentures of a hero called Gilgames. Tt wes found that this work, when complete, consisted of twelve tablets each deacribingsome remarkable event in the hero’s life.

In the Lith4ool it is related that the hero being sick and afflicted with leprosy set off to discower the secret of immortality which could be-revealed only by a wise man named Samas-Napis-ti whe dwelt in immortality onwn island near the mouth of the Tigris anéiaphrates. On arriving here, he learns from Samas-Nepisti, which is the neme given here tothe person we | know as Noab, the story of his preservation from the flood. «Experts say that thie story is marked .@f from the restof the } poem by limev and that there are many | indications that:it is much oider than the | complete poem .

29 Then shall dwell Samas-Naypisti in a remote place in the Mouth of the Rivers.

30 They took us, and in a remote place at the Mouth of the Rivers they seated us. The diecovery of this account is a con-

frmation of that given by Berosue, the

‘Graeco-Chaldean historian whose account

in preserved by Jorephus. The hero of this etory iscalled Xieuthrus, who is warned by the God Bel of a coming flood and wold to build’a ship into which he is to gather his family and friends, and al] creatures wing - ed and four footed together with food and drink. When this was done the flood came. When the rain stopped, Xisuthrus sent. out some birds, but thev came back.

After e few days he sent out more, but these also came back but with mud on their feet. Then he sent out others which did not come back at al]. Xisuthrus then took off part of the roof of hia boat and saw that it had settled on a mountain.

Then he went out with his wife and daugh- ter aud the architect of the boat and after worsbippiog and offering sacrifice to the

Gods he disappeared with those he had

taken.out with nim. His other companions

thep came out and asthey were looking for him they beard his voice in the air says ing that be had been carried off on account of hie piety, to dwell among the Gods,

It is evident at once that there are mapy striking points of likeness between these »twoforme of Chaldean tradition and the account in Genesis. And,although there is, without doubt, reference to many gods, yet in the elder tradition @ prominent place is given to the God Ea, which poseibly points nack to atime when the tradition was free from polytheiem. Note, too, thet the deluge is Jooked upon a® a punishment forain. For Ea, pleading that there should not be anotlLer Flood or that Samas Napiati should not die, saves: “Let the doer of sin bear bis sin and let the trans- gressor bear his transzression.”

The Ark of the Chaldean etory, in dia- tinctinction to that of the Bibleis a ship. [e iseaid to have been provisioned,and here more detail is found than in the Bible. The resting-place of the ark is more closely epee:fied than in Gensis, but tbe localities fairly correspond. In both we find the birda sent forth though notin the same order; in both we fiod the saecritice of thankegiving, and in both there ie mention (though in the tablet in poetical form) of the rainbow.

As o he date of this story Mr. Boscawen states clearly that it, with the creation tradition referred to in my last address, formed part of the Baby onian literature as early as B. C. 2000. “OF its direct relationship to the Rebrew account,” he says, “ there can be little doubt, but it is sufficiently distinct to mark it as @ separ- rate version.”

“Tt would be miraculous,” says another writer, “to suppose that sucha remark- able concurrence is accidenta] ; the legends of the Chaldeans and the Mesaic narrative bear not only @ family likeness, but they bave the very appearance of twins * * * The harmony between all these accounte is an undeniable guarantee that the tradi- tion ia no idle invention; a fiction is indi-~ vidual, not universal; that tradition has therefore a historical foundation ; it ie the result of an event which really happened in the ages of the childhood of mankind.”

And when this is granted no unpreju- diced observer can fail to see that the account in Genesis is, quite apart from any preconceived ideas ot inspiratian, fur the most likely to be the true representa- tion of the original tacts, for it is the sober- est and sanest of them all,
