Kruger Quotes the Bible.

London. Jan. l6.-A dispatch to the
Daily Mail, from Lorenzo Marquee,
says:
President Kruger has issued cir
cular, dated January 8, to Boer COM
mandants and burghers urging them to
show more energy in the Transvasl
cause. He quotes Psalm %. verse 4. as
God-given instructions to the burghers.
and says that the British have fixed
their faith in Psalm SO. He also quotes
Psalm 80 verses 10 and IA, and asserts
that he has searched the Bible without
being able 10 find any other mode
which can be followed by the Beers
who must fight in the name Of the
Lord.
1.-THE President has also issued a
a proclamation ordering all burghers to
the front. The Volksstem, the Trans.
vaal official organ. suggests that the
moment the British CROSS the border
the gold industry should be irretrieyably
destroyed.

Psalm 80, verse 4. which President
Kruger says contains "God-given in
structions to the burghers," reads:
Yea, through / walk through the
valley Of the shadow Of death | will fear
no evil for thou art with me; thy rod
and thy staff they comfort me.
Verses 10 and IA Of Psalm 80. which
the President says point the method to
be followed by the burghers are as fol-
lows:
Thou hast mighty arm strong is thy
hand, and high is thy right hand.
Justice and judgment are the hab'
itation of thy throne mercy and truth
shall 60 before thy face.
The spirit Of Psalm 49, in which
Kruger says the British have fixed their
faith, is expressed in the following
selections from it
keep NOT thou silence, o God hold
not thy peace and be not still, o God
2. For, 10, thine enemies make a
tumult and they that hate thee have
lifted up the head.
3. They have taken crafty counsel
against thy people, and consulted
