4 further characteristic of these radiant
folk is intelligence. The woman OF Telioah
was right when she spoke to King David Of
the wisdom, Of an angel. We take in what
little we know through eye and ear aud nos

There Is only one thlng that puts them to
their wits end, and the Bible says tlfy have
to study that. They have been studying 1t
all through the 2 e<, and yet warrant they
have not fully Srasrcd 1.-THE wonders OF Re
