How gladly did every tongue celebrate both the work "and the Author! "A great prophet is raised up amongst us, and God haih visited his people." A prophet was the highest name they could find for him, whom they saw like themselves in shape, a'--bove themselves in-power. They were not yet acquainted with God manifested in the flesh. This miracle might well have assured them of more than a prophet : but he that raised the Head man from the oier, would not suddenly raise these dead hearts from the grave of infidelity. They shall see reason enough to know that the prophet Who was raised up. to them was the God that now visited them; and at last, should do as much for them as he had done for the young man raise 'them from death to life, from dusi to gory.lip.

This is a literal description of the upper garment worn by the Karens, of the uses , to which it is applied, and cf the manner in which it is worn; except that it - is not Cistened under the right cheek. "As far, back as the time of Mosesj. we find that clothes were. embroidered, sometimes with colored thread of cotton and linen." Ih this way the. tunic of the Karen men is embrdidered in weaving, and of the Karen women with a nee dle. ; i ' Many other coincidences of a minor character are in my mind, but here is surely rpoueh to , challenge brlief Their poetry is decidedly He- bn;w, as I am prepared to prove, and (hey have what they call the .
