infinite love, in the sprit of the great
Master, that truly is divine and glorious.
It Is the good work that is glorious.
IL is a thing more truly divine to & well

work, than it is to wear a clerical garb
or perform professional religious duties.

The Book of •Exodus. -The Hebrew-
speakihg Jews of early times deeignaled
the books of the Peniatenah each by Its
initial word or words. Thus the first
book was known to them as "In the Be-

the Naines," the third, "Suet Ile Called,"
the fouith, "And Jehovah Spoke," and
Me fifth, "These Are the Words." The

etc.) were ihst applied to the books by
Hellenistic, or Greek -speaking Jews:, who
traneleted the Ilebrew Bible into Greek
at Alexandria during the third and
