[Illustration: He giveth snow like wool: He scattereth the hoar-frost like ashes.—PSALM cxlvii. 16. FROM THE “SCRIPTURE BIRTHDAY BOOK.”] And the accompanying verse is: “Man’s life’s a book of history; The leaves thereof, are days; The letters, mercies closely joined; The title is, Thy praise.” Ah! there are pictures in it, too; one for each month. The first one shows us such a lovely snowy world, that I will have it copied for you to see. [Illustration: TESTED TO OVER 1600 LBS. TO SQ.
