Sunday School Chronicle
Isaiah 1:11-15

When Ruskin was making explorations about Venice, in the Church of St. James, he discovered, engraved on a stone, these words, "Around the temple let the merchant's weights be true, his measures just, and his contracts without guile."

(Sunday School Chronicle.)The Paris Figaro mentions that a curious discovery was made recently when the famous robber gang of Papakoritzopoulo was broken up. In the pocket of this most notorious of European brigands was found a small Bible, neatly bound and wrapped in a clean, silk handkerchief, a prayer book, holy relics in tiny boxes, a cross, and other religious objects.
