DATES AND EVENTS.

1 (To the Editor.) | Sir. —A harmonious life is usually dependent on a harmonious beginning; therefore it is not surprising to find dates and events in "the life of the late Premier being marked by a oo incidence of dates which is remarkably interesting. The numerical value of the name “Michael” is 3. “Joseph” 3. and “Savage” 1. total 7. Born 7-3-1872; died 27-3 1940 at _3.15_ a.m. Billing numbers 7 and 9. 1872. 27 and 3.15 each total to 9. 1940 and age 08 each total to 14 and equal 5. In every birth date, containing the 2 and 7, is an indication tending to a life of sacrifice lor the good of others. In Mr Savage’s case the influence ol the 2 is duplicated and the 7 quadrupled, thus indicating a life of energy and sacrifice seldom so harmoniously equalled. The number 3 appears 5 times, and represents “light” (Gen. 1:3). "When repeated it indicates trials and tribulations to he met and overcome. In a well-balanced birth-date it implies honesty and one whose word is his bond. Mr Savage's most momentous year would probably be during his 27th" marking changes and sacrifice, ol a preparatory nature, and increased responsibilities during the years 1908, 1917. 1920 and 1935. Every year in his life which is a multiple, of 9. and also the seventh vear following, would be marked with the chief events of his life occ„rrin 8 .-I.a» b et & Palmerston North, 12 4-1940.
