order of nature that
there should not be one that would victoriously carry her captive and

--A story quoted by Mrs. Warren in illustration of the imperfect
apprehension and confused memory of many people, particularly those of
the class from which servants usually come, is too good to be passed by.
The Rev. Dr. McLeod relates in his journal that he once received from
two intending communicants the following replies to the following
questions:

Who led the children of Israel out of Egypt?--Eve.

Who was Eve?--The mother of God.

What death did Christ die? [After a long time came the answer]--He

Any others?--Buried Martha, Mary, and Lazarus.

bosom.

What had Christ to do with that?--He took Abraham.

Who was Christ?--The Holy Spirit.

Are you a sinner?--No.

ingenuity upon others which are of secondary importance, and which seem
not likely to present themselves to the inquiring mind under such
