To Correspondents.

M. S. MERIDIAN: We should consider a farm rented, as temporarily sold. Whatever portion of either house or land you reserve, that alone would be your gates. We do not see that it makes any difference whether the rent is to be paid in money or a certain proportion of the crops. Of course a person would not want to rent a place under such circumstances that he would be disturbed in his Sabbath worship and privileges.

G. W. DAVIS: Dr. Hales is probably as good authority as we have in chronological matters. According to his chronology, the Jewish civil year commenced on the 15th of our September; the sacred year, six months before, or the 15th of March. This would be the average date for the commencement of the year. Strictly speaking, it was not a fixed point, as the commencement of the month, which was also the commencement of the year, was determined by the appearance of the new moon.

Wm. O. MUNRO: All the Catholic books from which quotations are given in any of our publications, can be found at Catholic book stores in any of our large cities. We obtained ours in the city of Rochester, N. Y.

I. WILL CALLAGAIN: Will you please give us your true name?

J. C. BUNCH: Nothing preventing, we shall in due time reach Dan. 12: 12, in “Thoughts on Daniel.”

L. C. TOMKOFF: The “Inner Calm,” by Bonar, was published in REVIEW Vol. xxix, No. 1.
