SCRIPTURE PUZZLES. ERE I have a puzzle for you, and if you can guess it, then you may each make a puzzle for me," said Aunt Myra. "I have given you some ques tions, and you must take the first letter of each answer, and that will make the name I want you to find out." (1.) A rebel slain in the wilderness. (2.) The one whom he envied. (3.) A woman of sorrow. (4.) A child of sorrow. (5.) A deceitful woman. "I have found it, auntie," said Nelly, "your word is David. (1) is Dathan, (2) Aaron, (3) Vashti, (4) Ichabod, (5) Delilah. Now Bertram and I will make another." This was Bertram's puzzle for Aunt Myra, and he was much delighted to see her thinking over it: The first man. The first high priest. The first child of Jacob. A great giant. A prophet. This game became a very favourite one with the children after this. CAPPING VERSES. AM going to teach you to cap verses this afternoon," said Aunt Myra, as she came into the room where the children were waiting for her. "One of you shall say the verse of a hymn, and another must choose a verse beginning with the first letter of the last word, and so we must go on till we can remember no more hymns. Arthur may begin," and Arthur said "Saviour, like a shepherd lead us, Aunt Myra instantly said, "P is our letter." "Pass me not, O gentle Saviour, Hear my humble cry; While on others Thou art calling, Do not pass me by." |
