The table below gives the results in a synoptic form, reduced to 

 the same epoch and the same basis of comparison. For one cycie,. the 

 accuracy in 600 B.C. is also given. 



* The three cycles marked \^ith asterisks, are deduced from the prophetic 

 numbers in the Book of Daniel. 



Secular Acceleration, and Epochs at which the Cycles 



ARE Exact. 



The comparisons above given show the relative accuracy of the 

 various cycles at the epoch 1900 A.D. in accordance with our best data. 

 In analysing them further in the light of secular acceleration, we may 

 now dismiss from consideration the cycles which have a lower degree of 

 accuracy than one day in 10,000 years. It is only the three cycles, 

 one of each type, derived from the numbers in the Book of Daniel, 

 which come up to this 'requirement. 



These cycles may already be considered as perfect from the point 

 of view of human time-reckoning; as their error is only a fraction 

 of a day in the entire human period. From the prophetic standpoint
