"Covetousness, Which is ldolatry."
The Apostle declares that covetous
ness is idoatry, 1t puts first the thing
coveted; and when this is contrary to
the Divine will, this attitude signifies
that the coveted thing is more desired
than the Divine favor Thus we see
the world is full Of idolatry. The idols
most worshiped are wealth end pleas

On the contrary, the true God, from
whom comes every good and perfect
gift. receives but slight attention from
the masses of His creatures. His
laws. His will, His pleasure and His
favor are scarcely thought Of. Yet
wealth and pleasure, pursued on every
hand, bring neither JOY nor peace.
The worshipers of mammon and
pleasure are unhappy. discontinued

NAMES FROM THE BIBLE.
Odd Ones From the Old Testament
That Pleased the Puritans.

certain set Of Christian names
taken from the Bible have been In use
so long that we do not think Of them
as Bible names. Among them are
Adam. Moses. Samuel. David, Daniel.
Solomon. Abraham. Isaac and Jacob.
Others taken from the saints. like
Peter. Paul, John, Stephen and Mat
thew. originally given to children be-
cause they were born on the saints
day, are still so common that We think
Of them as English names.
These names antedate the use Of sur
names, as may be inferred from the
fact that nearly all Of them have given
rise to patronymics, like Jacobson.
Peterson and Stevenson. In the twelfth
century missionaries sent out by the
authorities used to baptize whole vii
lagos at once and to save time invested
all the men with the name of John or
some other saint and the women usual
ly Mary or Martha. To distinguish the
Johns some additional name like Short
or Strong or White or Black was given
him by the neighbors, and so Christian
names and surnames were united
After the reformation it became the
fashion among the Puritans to give
children the names of characters like
the Old Testament, and odd ones like
Melchisedec or Barzillai were pre-
ferred Among these were Abel, Levi.
Jesse. Amos, Asa, Isaiah Ephraim.
Gideon, Malachi, Job, Abner, Hosea.
Ezekiel, jeremiah, Zechariah, Asher,
Eli and hundreds of others Hartford
