both in wood and stone, shows q vast
amount of humor. Witness the gar

corbels and brackets of many cathedrals.
These one can scarcely believe to have
been modelled seriously as conceptions
Of the spirit Of evil, for, if tho doctrine
Of the personality of the devil We're held
faithfully, it is scarcely probable that

satanic majesty.-Good Words.
