| SEQ the same truth set forth in
the twelve foundations of the wall Of
the heaven. st. John announces the
twelve foundations of this wall to be,
the first, of jasper yellow and rcd;
the second, Of Sapphirc-a deep blue;
Che third, chalccdony-a varied
beauty: the fourth, cmcIald-a bright
green color; the fifth, sardonyx-a
blush white; the sixth, sardius-rcd
aud fiery; the seventh, chrysol;tc--
goldcn-hucd; tho eight, bcryl;n bluish
green; the ninth, topaz--n pale green
mixed with yellow; the tenth, chryso-
prasus--a golden BLUSH tint; the
eleventh. jacinth-Gcry as the sunset:
tho Twelfth, amethyst. But these
precious stones nrr only the founln,
ton OF the wall of hcavcn--thc most
inforior part Of it. On the top of this
foundation there rises Il mighty wall
of jaspcr~-of brilliant yellow and
gorgeous crimson. Stupcndous cata-
ract Of color! Throne of eplcndor
and sublimity.
