A Truly Biblical Bill of Faro

Is a curiosity the annexed bill of fare
is worth preserving. Taken who'll,
from the Bible, right-royal Christmas
banquet it would make. AS will be

number five. Each course is by its ap
propriate wine accompanied. Though
III Palestine there is now no game, We
at this dinner quail and cartridges are
provided. With them the spiced wine
of Canticle is prescribed. At such {;
dessert as this, with the sweet wines O.
the Prophet Amos, We should like tC

Shakespeare have been framed. Thi
one from the scriptures is unique. o
