SOME FACTS ABOUT THE BIBLE.


The middle verse of the Bible is the
9th. verse of the 118th Psalm, while
the 21st verse of the 7th chapter or
Ezra contains every letter of the al
phabet but a."
The longest verse in the Bible IS
the 9th verse of the 9Th chapter Oh
Esther, while the shortest verse Is tne
35th verse of the 11th chapter OF ST.
John.
The 9Th, 21st and 31st verses OF the
10th Psalm are all the same, Whhe
each verse of the 18th Psalm ENDS
alike.
How did we know all this? Wen
the theological student who offers tn!S
information spent three years at his
work, and rather than quarrel Win
him we'll believe it. He considers ny
the way, the 26th chapter of the Acts
of the Apostles to be the finest chap
ter in the Bible.
