The Seal Ring.

The seal ring is known to be the
oldest style of ring. 1t dates back to
the days of the Old Testament. and
products of the glyptic art. as gem en-
craving was called, were known In
the most remote times. In Exodus
xviii. 1920. mention is made of the
following stones, upon which the
names of the twelve children of Israel
were engraved: The sardius, the topaz.
the carbuncle. the emerald. the sap
phire. the diamond. the figure. the
agate. the amethyst. beryl. onyx and
Jasper In verse 2 of the same chap
ter we find mention of the engraving
of signets upon the hardest stones. 1t
is believed that the Egyptians instruct
ed the Israelites in the art of stone
engraving. The Egyptians used the
lapidary's wheel and emery powder
and knew the use Of the diamond in
engraving other hard stones. Among
the Assyrian and Babylonian ruins
were found fine specimens Of signets
on gems. many of them set in rings.

Many Ministers Oppose Restriction
on Sunday Pleasures.

Atlantic City, N. 1.-THE Presbyte-

board of home missions, the board OF
church erection and board of mis-

The report of the committee on Sab
bath observance, with stringent rec

called an attempt to go backward two

They were for a sane Sunday, they
said, but not so strict a one as the
