73. IS THE ARK PRESERVED?

By Editor

A correspondent sends a clipping from the St. Louis Republic, entitled "Ararat and the Ark," in which it speaks of a "bishop of Jerusalem" having seen the ark, and wishes to know if there is "any truth in the matter."
No; there is in all probability no truth in the matter. It is exceedingly questionable to our mind whether "Ararat" of the Bible is the mountain now known as such, and the superstition and imagination of an Eastern priest would easily transform an overhanging snow cap into a veritable ship. Such stories are worthy of no credit. As the inclosed clipping of our correspondent asserts, "it is no doubt the old 'fake' in a new dress."
