THE BIBLE ON THE WATERBURY.
Very few people, apparently, are aware toattheWaterbury is distinctly mentioned ia the Bible, and that too, in a very eariy book of the Old Testament. If you wifl ask your clergyman hell probably 9»y it is not there; that this watch, although undeniably a good one, and quite trustworthy, cannot boast of such_ ancient origin, and so on, ad lib. But he is wrong all the same. The first reference, we can find dates back to the time of Moses, who is credited with standing on tbe banks of the Red Sea, latitude and longitude . not logged; and watching " The Water bury Pharoah and all his hosts." Theological students whose meditations are so superficial that they have missed this important fact hitherto, can make up tor lost time by securing a Waterbury and living up to it.
