I will answer Annie L. Boggan’s
questions. The token ws have
for perpetual generation is the
rainbow. It was the river of Jor
dan that God made a dry path
through for the prophets to walk,
because they were good men. The
haven was shut up for three years
and six months because of sin.
John 8. Ingle, Jr., Moses was in
mount of Horeb keeping the flock
of Gethro, his father in law when
God spoke to him. If I am not
mistaken, Joeeph was the first
man buried in a coffin. The short
est verse in the Bible ie the 11th
Shaper St. John, 86th verse. Cor
ena Hatcher, Methuselah was the
oldest man on earth. Will tbs
