CONNESSTEE NOTES
One of the school children heard !
the name of King Saul's son, who
was David's rival to the throne:
"Ish-bosh-eth" was too strong a ,
twist for his tongue. So when
asked what was the new king':
name, he hesitated, evidently won
dering how such a "name got into
the Bible, but finally plumped out
with ? "Ish-by-gosh!"
Little six-year-old Georgia Ov.i-.ys '

Father of Waters, shi* asked why it,
was not named "Mistcrsippi?"
