him. Those old G reeks and Romans
had no weeks nor days of the week
no Sundays oy Monday or any
pother day.y.but they divided time by
Calends and Ides. The Calends
were the first days of the mouth and
the Idesvvere thedifteenth. . All the
interniediatcdays were designated
by these, as for instance, the third
day after the Calends of Mav or the
fifth day before the Ides of March-.
The Roman Senate always began its

win-. There" w:W lliC Mn of Woden.
Wednesday was named for Woden
and it was originally Woden's day.
Thursday was named for Thor and
Friday for his mother. Each of these
mythologies had a hades or infernal
region for bad people aud evil spirits.
Phito presided over the one and a
woman named Heht over the K other.
That is where the word Hell came
from. It seems an awful thiilg to put
hell in charge of a woman, but they
said that no man was as bad as a bad
woman. Her father Was) named Loki
and shenad two brothers. One was a
serpent ' so big and so long thai; it
wrapped around the world and then
swallowed its own tail. The other
was- a wolf. -so strong that he broke
the strongest chains just like they j
Were cobwebs. Then Woden got the j
mountain spirits to make another!
chain and.they mado it of six things.
The noise made by a 'cat walking,
the beard of a woman, tho roots of
stones, the'breath of fishes, the smiles
of bears and the spittle of birds.
When the chain'.was finished it Was
as small and smooth and soft as a
silken string, but no power on ear.tli
could break it. And so they chained
him and killed him. ' Hut listen
what kind oi' a home Miss Heki hndl
Hunger was her dining table. Star
vation was tier knife. Delay was her
man servant Sloth her maid ser
vant. A precipice was her door step.
Can; her bed, and Anguish the cur
tains to her bed chamber. No won
der she wis cruel and always wore a
stem, unhappy uiid foi bidding coun
tenance.. '
This is just a sample of their my
thology. It fills up several books.
Now, where in the world did that
people get all these wonderful stories..
Away back in the ages 'they must
have had poets ' more imaginative
than Homer.' Home of our most
learned men say they got the foun-
dation of many of them from the
Bible. For the story-goes that away
back in the ages 'the people got so
b:id that Jupiter got dreadful mad
with them aud resoived to destroy
them. So he summoned all the irods
to come to .him, and they came from
all parts of the heavens, traveling oh
tho milky way, which .is the street
of the gods, and after taking counsel
together they determined 'to destroy
all mankind and slart with a new
pair. So Jupiter was about to launch'
a red hot thunderbolt at the earth
and burn it up, but one of the gods
told him that he had better not, for
he might burn up heaven, too. So
he concluded to uso water instead of
fire, aud then came the flood which
drowned every human being except
Duejulion and us wife, who. were
gooU people: ; They escaped to'thfc
top of a mountain called liarnassus
and were saved. That is very much
like the Bibie story of the Hood and
of Noah and Mount Ararat. And
just so tiiey got Hercules from Sam
son and Vulcan and Apollo from
Jubal and Jubal Cain, and the Dra
gon from the serpent that tempted
Eve, and the giants whg tried to
scale the walls of heaven'from Nun
rod and his tower. Every great
heathen od had a favorite son just
as our Christian God has a Son.
There is something sublime and com
forting in even believing or imagin
ing that a great ami. good being is
somewhere in the heavens overruling
the earth and its people, prospering
the good and punishing the-evil.
The fact that this all powerful being
is invisible makes-His e-xisteuce the
more impressive. Jupiter sat-enthroned
on Mount Olympus. 'Woden
had a beautiful palace of gold and
silver at Valhalla .ami it could only
be reached by walking on a rainbow.
And we pray to our'Cod, saying:
"Oil, Thou who dweliest in the hea
vens," and not in the temple3 made
with hand .3. History- g i yes n o ac
count of any people who did not put
their trust in some God, and this
proves our confession of weakness
and pur jieed of strength from some
supernatural divinity. Tho 'more
cultured and enlightened we become
the more conscious wo arc of our
weakness. Children depen.il abso
lutely, on their parents afar up in
l heir teens. 1 They do not need 'any
other God, but by and by the pi rents
pass away or fail to supply their in
creasing wants and then conies that,
feeling f helplessness and the want
of a 1 prqtector. Reflection come?
with age and the more reflectively a
man becomes and the more intelli
gent from study and culture, the
more he must realize his ignorance
and. dependence. Therefore, I can
not understand how such a cultured
gentleman as lngersoll can be so ir
reverent, so eareloi3 and praverjess
about his own existence, for he can
not tell by what power he raises his
hand or closes Ins eves when he wills
to do so. . He says he would have
planned many things yery different.
He would have given man wings and
thd power to 11 v. He would have
made health catehii.g instead of ditr
