Biblical Curiosities.
The " Church Union " furnishes the following information for students, of the Bible : In the English Bible {St. James's version) there are 1,189 chapters, 31,173 verses, and 773,592 words. The word "and" occurs 46,277 limes, and the word " Lord " occurs 1,855 times. The word "reverend" occurs in Psalm cxi, 9. If it occurs in any other place in the Bible, will some Biblical scholar please inform us where ? The middle verse of the Bible is Psalm cxviii, 8, and is well worth committing to memory : " It is better to trust in the Lord Mian to put confidence in man." The- longest word in the Bible is found in fsaiali via, 1, and is Mahershalalhashbaz. The shortest book of the Old Testament is Obadiah. The shortest book in the New Testament is the second epistle of John. " All is vanity " occurs twenty-five times In EoolesJastes, and is the leading thought of the book.
A five-year-old boy who was engaged in some mischievous doings, on being remonstrated with by his father with " Why will you do so, George ?" replied : " Oh, I expect I am too little to know any better."
