There was in the days Of rod.

named Zacharias, OF the course OF

And they were both righteous
before God. walking IN all the

the Lord blameless.
Now Elizabeth's full time came
that she should be delivered; and
she brought forth a son.
And her neighbors and her
cousins heard how the Lord had

One would not wish 10 make
technical distinction or Cleavage be-

homes had the common element
OF honesty and piety. devotion x

When We think OF Christian
