"Why, dear, I aht have a sort of a trysting-ti to interfere between us And He n between Himself and those who really loved Hin that should show to the world ere His He said so in several places Listen to this" She turned the leaves quickly "'And the Lord spake unto Moses, saying: Speak thou also unto the children of Israel, saying, Verily n between enerations; that ye may know that I am the Lord that doth sanctify you Ye shall keep the sabbath therefore; for it is holy unto you; every one that defileth it shall surely be put to death; for whosoever doeth any work therein, that soul shall be cut off fro his people Six days may work be done; but in the seventh is the sabbath of rest, holy to the Lord; whosoever doeth any work in the sabbath day, he shall surely be put to death Wherefore the children of Israel shall keep the sabbath, to observe the sabbath throughout their generations, for a perpetual covenant It is a sign between me and the children of Israel forever; for in six days the Lord made heaven and earth, and on the seventh day he rested, and was refreshed'"
