A REJUVENATING CONTRAST

Some days when I am feeling old,
And think of years as things of
weight.
And Youth far OF, and dead and
cold.
And Self grown stedgy and
sedate,
I turn my mind to distant strands
Where rise the Pyramids, and
where
The Sphinx sits idly mid the sands
And views them with a vacant
stare.
And straightway "oldness' falls
away,
Beside these truly ancient
things,
Reared in some long forgotten day
By not too we'll remembered

That I've not even reached my

THE THE BIBLE
Translated out Of the original
tongues and from the edition
known as Our Mothers Bible"

IA Thou shalt be blessed above
all people: there shall not be male
or female barren among you, or
among your cattle.
Is And the Lord will take away
from thee all sickness, and will
put none of, the evil diseases of
Egypt, which thou knowest. upon
thee; but will lay them upon all
them that hate thee.
16 And thou shalt consume all
the people which the Lord thy God
shall deliver thee; thine eye shall
have no pity upon them: neither
shalt thou serve their gods; for
that will be a snare unto thee.
II If thou shalt say in thine
heart. These nations are more than
1; how can I dispossess them?
IS Thou shalt not be afraid of
them: but shalt well remember
what the Lord thy God did unto
Pharaoh, and unto all Egypt;
1s The great temptations which
thine eyes saw, and the signs. and
the wonders, and the mighty hand
and the stretched out arm, whereby
the Lord thy God brought thee
out: so shall the Lord thy God do
unto all the people of whom thou
art afraid.
20 Moreover the Lord thy God
will send the hornet among them,
until they that are left, and hide
themselves from thee, be destroyed.
81 Thou shalt not be affrighted
at them: for the Lord thy God is
among you, a mighty God and ter
rible.
% And the Lord thy God will
put out those nations before thee
by little and little: thou mayest
not consume them at once, lest the
beasts of the held increase upon
thee.
% But the Lord thy God shall
deliver them unto thee, and shall
destroy them with a mighty de-
structfon, until they be destroyed.
"a And he shall deliver their
kings unto thine hand, and thou
shalt destroy their name from un-
der heaven: there shall no man be
able to stand before thee, until
thou have destroyed them.
25 The craven images of their
gods shall ye burn with fire: thou
shalt not desire the silver or gold
that is on them, nor take it unto
thee, lest thou be shared therein:
for it is an abomination to the
LORD thy God.
rs Neither shalt thou bring an
abomination into thine house, lest
thou be q cursed thing like 1t: but
thou shalt utterly detest it, and
thou shalt utterly abhor it; for it is
q cursed thing.
CHAPTER s. =
An exhortation to obedience in regard Of
Gods dealing with them.
All the commandments which Z
command thee this day shall ye OBJ
serve to do, that ye may live, and
multiply, and go in and possess the
land which the Lord sware unto
your fathers.
2 And thou shalt remember all
the way which the Lord thy God
led thee these forty years in. the
wilderness, to humble thee, and to
prove thee, to know what was in
thine heart, whether thou wouldest
keep his commandments. or no.
