there used to be a queer old, crusty
character, a Scot who was noted for
his profound knowledge Of the Scrip

evening, and after the lecture the Scot
and l and some few others fell into
conversation.
II was urged to put the old mans
Scriptural knowledge to the test. I
was urged to question him and to let
him question me. He would get the
better of m%e-that, every one said, was
certain-but | had my doubts and,
turning to the Scot. said confidently:

grand, leading, insurmountable ques-

on:
