chide, nor keep his anger for ever. Now may we rejoice and glory in the God of our salvation. _Martha._ Once more shall the name of _a Jew_ be somewhat more than a byword. When our King shall ride forth in his majesty, conquering and to conquer, then shall the Jews be terrible to their enemies, honored by their friends, and known everywhere as the people of the whole earth whom the Lord delighteth to honor. _Leah._ Let us tarry no longer here, feasting on these good things alone; but away; and, in every closet and from every house-top, let us spread the good news. _Mary._ Let us first, however, sing to Jehovah a song of triumph, and then to our work. _Miriam._ Even so let it be.

The more I study Moses and the prophets, the more I believe in and love Jehovah; and the more surprised am I, that, for a moment, I hesitated in giving up the false gods of my childhood. _Rachel._ To Jehovah be your thanks, my friend, my sister; for never by human reasoning should we have been different from you. In love Jehovah revealed himself to us; and what we have so fully learned from him, we have given to you. _Eudora._ But what think you of the prophet in the wilderness,--John I think they call him? _Rachel._ H
