Such a man was Mark Hopkins, Noah Porter, James McCosh. Such the leading men in every seminary should be. The plan of education must be of principles, not of facts. The university research-men gather facts, and scientific men everywhere collect, analyze, and classify them.
The unicorn swam alongside, and as it passed Og, the giant jumped on to its back. "See, Father Noah," he cried, with a huge chuckle, "you will have to save me after all. I will snatch all the food you put through the window for the unicorn." Noah saw that it was useless to argue with Og, who might, indeed, sink the Ark with his tremendous strength.
Truly, the need only imagine ourselves in the position of any grown-up man, not necessarily educated, even the simplest man of the present day, who has picked up the ideas that are everywhere in the air nowadays of geology, physics, chemistry, cosmography, or history, when he, for the first time, consciously compares them with the articles of belief instilled into him in childhood, and maintained by the churches that God created the world in six days, and light before the sun; that Noah shut up all the animals in his ark, and so on; that Jesus is also God the Son, who created all before time was; that this God came down upon earth to atone for Adam's sin; that he rose again, ascended into heaven, and sitteth on the right hand of the Father, and will come in the clouds to judge the world, and so on.
Not far from Dshesireh the Tigris enters another plain and leaves behind the high and magnificent Dshudid mountains on whose bright and snow-clad peaks Noah and his mixed company are said to have disembarked. From here on the scenery is very monotonous; you rarely see a village, and most of those you see are uninhabited and in ruins. It is apparent that you have entered the country of the Arabs.
That's the King of Trumet. Let's you and me go ahead and fire salutes, Thoph." Captain Elkanah wrathfully ordered the flags to be removed from the horses' heads and from the dashboard. As Noah Ellis and his passenger turned into the lighthouse lane another vehicle turned out of it. "Who was that?" queried Kyan. "Looked like one of the livery stable horses to me." "'Twa'n't.
Salissa was a good ark, roomier than Noah's, and with this advantage, that it stayed still instead of tossing about. But not even Noah was so utterly cut off from all news of the catastrophe outside. During August and September almost anything might have happened. Germans might have ridden through the streets of Paris and London.
Strange that the whole world should have been drowned and the Egyptians never knew it! From the "Types of Mankind," we learn that the fact is "asserted by Lepsius, and familiar to all Egyptologists, that negro and other races already existed in Northern Africa, on the Upper Nile, 2,300 years B.C." But this is only forty-eight years after the deluge. What kind of a family had Noah?
Early one morning Roger presented himself at my uncle's house with the huge green coach drawn by two horses so fat that they could hardly breathe, driven by an old servant, Noah Sullivan, who was so fat that at times he could not breathe at all. The season was fair for travelling, and barring a heavy rain, the road to London would be good.
So Noah knew that the water had gone down enough to let the trees grow again. He waited another week, and sent out the dove again; but this time the dove flew away and never came back. And Noah knew that the earth was becoming dry again. So he took off a part of the roof, and looked out, and saw that there was dry land all around the ark, and the waters were no longer everywhere.
The editor dies, even as the actor, and leaves no copy. Without going as far back as the Freneaus and the Callenders, who recalls the names of Mordecai Mannasseh Noah, of Edwin Crosswell and of James Watson Webb? In their day and generation they were influential and distinguished journalists.
