ished by her lord, Esther was brought be-

CHI arms, made her queen. Esther, as Nor
decai had charged her. had not showed her
kindred nor her people TO the king,
who, played upon by one HamaD, Il
man above all the princes that were
with him, issued an order to DESTROY oil
Jews, both old and young, thus including
Mordrcai, whom Haman hated because he
did not like others, DO him reverence.
Esther, informed OF this and told by Nor
decai that she. too, would be included In
the general slaughter, appeared before the

hands on the king, for which they were
very properly hanged. And thereupon the

fortunate person, replied, let the
royal apparel be brought which the
king used to wear, and tue horse that the
king rldeth upon and the crown royal

parel and horte be delivered to the hand OF

they may array the man withal whom the
king delighteth to honor, and bring him on
horseback through the streets OF the city
aud proclaim before him, THUS shall 1t be
done to the man whom the king delighteth

Scripture tells of Samson that he was
born OF Msnoah, and being blessed by the
Lord was possessed OF mavelous strength.

heaps did he slsy thousand Philistines,

first to last, he fell into snare wherein the
Gazites planned in the morning, when IL
was day, to kill him. Samson. however,
arose NJ midnigh. and divining the plot, as
illustrated on this car, walked away with
the gate OF the city, bar and all. In repre-
