SCRIPTURE ENIGMA.


He. who upon an altar once was laid,
And he, who thus. the friend OF God was made.
Who dazzled the Jews when they saw his bright
face,
And put a veil DER its glory and grace?
The sea. on which, with hasty feet did go,
He who sinking cried aloud with Woe
A king whose death solemn warning glves'
And she whose name with mankind ever nves.
Who of e. eat strength was by stripping Slain
And who as strong, yet of bedstead vain
A household St. Pauls sautation bleSt
And he who with wild beast did calmly rest
The suffering saint that in death did Vie"'
The glorious heaven that no mortal knew.
The cruel queen that with revengetul hate'
A prophet destroyed, dreadful to relate;
And whose prophetic pen, brings heaven SO hc"f
And makes the city of God Tor us more GEAR.
A ruler who wash'd his hands In Valn,
And could not from them e'er move the staln.
What Christian grace should we ever seek,
And so become moro holy and more meeG
Who took to heav'n glorious flight,
And was watch by one till out OF sight!
Tho sad mo. her. who her late vigil Kept,
OYER her dead sons, and never ate nor Slept.
Who dead, to life was brought by prayer belo"
Der whose works of mercy tears did now!
These all united, you will find,
The words of our Lord, to US so kina;
"May we all be gathered to his tolo
Was nv prayer whilst l this riddle told
