SCRIPTURE

Jeremiah 31st Chapter-31st to 35th
verses.
Behold, the days come. saith the
Lord, and will make new covenant
with the house of Israel, and with the
house Of Judah:
Not according to the covenant that
made with their fathers in the day
that ! took them by the hand to bring
them out of the land of Egypt; which
my covenant they brake. although
was an husband unto them, saith the
Lord:
But this shall be the covenant that
will make with the house of Israel;
After those days, saith the Lord, |
will put my law in their inward parts.
and write 1t in their hearts; and will
be their God, and they shall be my
people.
| And they shall teach no more every
man his neighbor. and every man his
brother. saying, Know the Lord: for
they shall all know me. from the least
of them unto the greatest of them,
saith the Lord: for will forgive their
iniQuity. and l will remember their
sin no more
Thus saith the Lord, which giveth
the sun for a light by day, and the
ordinances of the moon and of the
stars for light by night, which divid
eth the sea when the waves thereof
roar; The Lord of hosts is his name

shaken the last Of the confetti from
their garments.
But there was just one fly In the
gingerbread in the ointment, we
mean. Her cakes were not quite like
those mother used to make. In fact,
he told her sO-gently, but firmly, Of
course.
Now, it so happened that she was
a very modern young lady, by no
means addicted to giving way, even
to her lord and master, newly found
as he was. Therefore, one day she
laid before him cakes Of special de-
sign and workmanship, planned and
moulded for the occasion.
"Ah," said he, at the first bite,
frightening up, now, indeed, we
have the goods, exactly as mother
made 'em. But how did you do it,
fairest one?"
The lady looked cold-as frigid as
