THE BIBLE IN ABYSSINIA.

q The people of Abyssinia are great Scrip
.ture readers. Each family possesses over
ten copies Of the Bible printed or written
in the Arabic language. For the purpose
Of testing their knowledge Of Holy Writ
your correspondent, urged by the interpre-
ter, Captain Speedy, the Basha Felecca Of
Theodore's army, .propounded a few ques-
tions, such as 6 Whowas the first hunter 7"
ssWhat was Dayid's father 20 "What was
the namesof the man in whose fields Ruth
cleaned g' se g How many days was Noah
in the ark ?'' All of which questions We're
answered correctly by a young fellow not
over twenty years old, who, We found out
afterward, WAS also an excellent writer. !.
Every one carries an iron cross attached
to string, which hangs around hisior her
neck-an ostentatious proof that he or she
is Christian. Finding it somewhat diff
cult to purchase food from them without
having string around my neck to, show
that was Christian, ] have hung blue
ribbon two inches wide in its place, which
stamps me as o most excellent Christian
and since I have adopted this plan | have
experienced no difficulty whatever IN pur-
chasing edibles for the mess.
