| The Lord, by placing the fish i'll the first

precede bird aud beast indicated to thu

article o. human fool. The reason that
men AMI women lived tares AMI four AMI

have amounted to anything-is because they
were in those country districts of necessity
kept on plain diet.
No man or woman ever amoIate to any
thing who was brought up on floating isLa Il

to p2radisiac diet il it is to get para iisile

What made the twelve apostles such stall
wart men that they could endure anything
and acaieve everything? Next to divine in

all fishermen AMI lived on fisa and few
plain continents. Paul. thou sh not brought

OF necessity have adopted the diet OF the
population among waon he lived, and you
see the phosphorus in his daring plea before
Felix, and the phosphorus in his bodest OF
all utterances before the wisacreS on Mars
Hill, AMI the phosphorus as he went without
fright TO his beheAiin2, ard the phosphorus
you see in the lives OF all the apostts who
moved right on 1aElted to certain marty.
dom. whether to be declpitated or 1uug of
precipices or hung in crucifixion.
Phosphorus, shining in thu DARK without
burning. No man or woman that ever lived
was independent OF questions of diet. Let
