Finds Traces of Deluge.

Rev. Dr. George Frederick Wright, professor of harmony between science and revelation at Oberlin University, writes from Jerusalem to a friend in New York that he has discovered reliable evidence of the truth of the biblical account of a universal deluge. Professor Wright has been one year abroad, during which he haß traveled in Asia for the purpose of discovering whether there are any geological signs

of a deluge which might have been of a charactr like that described in Genesis. Professor Wright has spent most of his sixty-three years of life in trying to prove that the truths of science do not convict with the statements of fact in the sacred scriptures. He began his ministerial career as pastor of a Congregational church in Vermont in 1862. Always an earnest student of geology and zoology, his literary contributions to these sciences have been voluminous and interesting. His work on the glacial epoch in relation to Ohio, Indiana and Kentucky opened a new era in this line of research. In 1892 he was given the chair at Oberlin he now occupies, and he has filled it creditably.
