umbrella is never loaned.
II will greatly interest all Bible scholars
to know that Abyssinia has been definitely
saved to Christianity. In this country are
strangely preserved many forgotten rites
of the ancient Hebrews and the first Chris

King Solomon, it is said 10000 Hebrews of

the land. The descendants of these people
to-day form the aristOcracy of Abyssinia
and are Christian.
On the other hand, another contingent
of Hebrews came to Abyssinia after the
destruction OF the Temple at Jerusalem,
and have remained faithful to the original
Jewish religion.
Each church in Abyssinia has talbot, or
ark of the covenant, in front of its holy of
holies This lends support to tradition
that the original Ark of the Covenant,
given to the people Of Israel by Jehovah,
was sent TO Abyssinia for safe-keeping

when it was imperilled. 1t is an interest
ing fact that the Abyssinians still dance in
their churches, as the Israelites did before
the ark.
Abyssinia Is supposed to hold many
Biblical manuscripts of surprising interest.
When the French explorer, Hugues lie
Roux, went there few years ago, one Of
the treasures he brought back was an
ancient Ahyssinian manuscript of The
Song of Solomon" differing considerably
from the Biblical version, and also a ma
tive version of the Queen of Sheba's visit
to her illustrious ally.
