pense; has built a toed for a different
Vetirpote, that the banners of heavenly
dominion might tome down over It,
and all the redeemed of earth travel
up over It. Being a King's highway,
of course it is well built. Bridges
splendidly etched and buttressed have
given way and eteshed the passengets
who attempted to cross them. But

were the Tigris and the Eaphrates.

that the Biblical Garden ot Eden was
in Mesopotamia, the dietriot lying be-

the Valley of tbe Eutnirates will pass

not, ;however, lie in ftliierbut in the

and transplant it in the liuniien body.

man was severely injured in the wrist

junction with the ulna, the largest of
