brought electricity from Egypt and
that there are Biblical paragraphs

gold. constituted a veritabie Leyden

Once again we bowed with all the

What could 1t mean? Was he merely
seeking a quarrel? or was there some
thtnC else concealed behind this re-
quest? In either case knew not how
to act, and yet felt no inclination to
avoid the meeting. Studying over the
