REVERENCE FOR THE BIBLE.

There is a sin prevalent in our house

which, In fact, we encourage either by
an indifference to it, or by an active

the purpose Of making riddles, conun-

etc., ETC., out of it. If we really be-
lieye in the Divine origin of the Bible

that they may construe its words into
odd connections, and make sport and
laughter and mental legerdemain from
its pagesp Is it likely they will rever-
ence on other occasions what has pre-.
viously been food for their amusement?
1t is not, and we need not be astonish.
