A Scotch olergyman, in a recent
lecture, said the great peculiarity of
the old Scottish elder or deacon
was his power of expounding Scrip.
ture. He was never at a loss about
the meaning of any passage. As
an illustration of this, he said ;—
"An elder was reading and com-
menting on the thirty.fourth psalm;
and the book being printed in the
old style, when he omit to verso
thirteen, he road, "Keep thy tongue
from evil, and thy lips from epoak-
ing.guile." He read it "squeaking
girls," and then remarked by way
of exposition, "It is eyident, from
this passage, tho Scripture does not
absolutely forbid kissing ; but, as
Christianity everything 18 to bo
done decently and in order, we are
Imre encouraged by the passage to
choose, rather, those girls that take
it quietly, and not those that squeak
under the operation."
