OLIVE.--We think you could obtain the "crinkled paper" for
flower-making at any fancy-work shop, or by order through the
proprietors. Perhaps you might obtain some advice from Miss
Younghusband, 70, Lower Belgrave Street, S.W. Apologise for so doing,
and send a certificate of respectability from your clergyman, giving
your real name and address. This lady occupies herself specially on the
subject of "women's work in all branches."
CAPE COAST (no name given).--As no revelation has been made to us in
Holy Scripture as to the language of the blessed, when "in the Kingdom
of their Father," how can you expect us to know anything about it? see
St. Luke, ix., 30, 31, and 35 and 36. The Apostles heard and understood
what was said; but we do not know in what language the words were
spoken. There will be no stagnation, nor idleness in Heaven, and that
there will be work of some kind unaccompanied by fatigue, or wear and
tear; but certainly, no "doctors" will be needed, and no "engineers,"
nor teachers of "languages." If you study your Bible a little more
carefully you will not send us such questions.
BIBLIO.--You do not say whether your old Bible be an illustrated one,
nor do you give any particulars respecting it--even of its dimensions.
A volume of the _Authorised Version_, London, by R. Barker, of 1611,
folio, the value would be from £10 to £15. The _Royal Version_ (by same
publisher), of 1616, is valued only at a few shillings. The _Genevan_
and _Tomson_ (same publisher), London, of 1615, is valued at about 17s.
There is another by Barker, of this date, worth only 12s.
