Rev. John c. Perkins gave very in
teresting lecture Saturday evening at the
First Parish house on the Book of Amos.
Amos was a shepherd, said the lecturer,
and during the duties of his occupation

prophet, according to his own statement
he was really the first one who declared
the revealed record of God. His style
was clear and forcible and he was skill
full in political predictions.

and fine analysis of the Book of Amos,
also an excellent description of the
countries of Palestine and other features
evincing careful historical research.
