BIBLE ENIGMA.
Reading edition
An officer of Pharaoh. A city built by Cain. A son of Solomon. A precious stone. The mount where Joshua built an altar. A queen of the Ethiopians. The land of Haran's nativity. One of the seven Churches of Asia. A duke of Edom. One whom the Lord raised up to deliver Israel. A daughter of Zelophehad. The initials of the words do show What Christ on earth had to pass through; And all His people may prepare, While in this world, to have their share. Thomas Tyler (Aged 13 years). Potton, Beds.
Adversity borrows its sharpest sting from our impatience.—Bishop Horne.
