rates in summer, and obtain for Chic
Priest, he whose praise has sounded
even unto our ears" And so 1t came
to pass that Charles was chosen Chic
Priest in the temple of the Normalites
s. Now the wisdom of Charles was
very great and he taught the Normali
tes daily in the temple.
10. And the people did wonder much
that his wisdom did not contract as
we'll as expand, even as the mercury
did in the land whence he came.
CHAPTER. II.
l. Moreover the wise men did com
mand that the Priest and four Priestess-
es should also minister daily in the tenn
pie. And the fame thereof spread
throughout the land.
And it came to pass in the one thou
sand, eight hundred and seventy third
year, in the sixth month, and on the
eighteenth day Of the month, that the
priests and priestesses lifted up their
eyes, and 10 . great multitude whom
no man could number, came flocking to
the temple that they might also receive
the spirit of prophesy.
8. And there came old men and wo-
men, young men and maidens, albeit
the little ones came not into the inner
court of the temple.
4. And they brought with them all
things needfnl for their sojourn in a
a strange land, with food also for the
children.
S And they tarried there many days:
6. And a certain priestess whom all
loved which same was named Eliza,
ministered daily unto them, and had
them to take parchment and write
writing thereon.
I. So each one Of the Seniors took a
parchment and wrote with the hand.
And the parchment showed the exceed
ing wisdom of the Seniors.
8. Nevertheless. the Seniors had to
battle with many enemies. The Ortho-
graphites, the Rhetoricites, the Geom-
etritesj and the PHILOSOPHERS assailed
them on overy hand, together with
many other barbarous tribes that COM
passed them round about.
9. But they being greatly moved
thereto by the priests of the temple,
did battle valiantly, resting neither by
day nor by night, until their foes were
well nigh vanquished.
TO- Eowbcit, few Of the Ortho-
graphites remain to vex them sorcly
even unto this day.
CHAPTER III.
l. Now a certain sect of the Normal
ties, they who are called Seniors, had
accomplished the days wherein they
were to abide in the temple. And were
even ready to be Amounted unto the
priesthood
2. For behold they had waxed ex-
ceeding wise, insomuch that all the PEG.
pie marvelcd thereat, and said among
"How can these things be?"
3. (Thcy also had ministered much
unto the little ones in the outer courts
IF the temple, going in and out before
hem.
And it was sore unto them, inso-
much that many fell out by the way.
But Mary, who had charge Of the outer
court, and who, kind and gentle to be-
lold, gave them good counsel, that they
lid not utterly fail
5. And as the time drew nigh when
hey were to depart from the temple, Eli (,
"a required of every one to bring in the !
croll which he had written. And i'll ,
vas done.
6. And moreover, for two days they
ppeared before the wise men and coun-
elors of the land, and were examined
ouching the law and the prophets.
I. And the people cried with one accord.
Long live the Seniors of the Normal.

l. Then gathered the Seniors them.
elves together once more, aud for the '
asst time. And they put on their rich
st robes and soft clothing, and had
lngs upon their hands.
2. And they came together in a high
