IT MUST GO HARD WITH THE FRENCH
During the late French war, farmer re-
marked to the rector of the parish that the
contest would 60 very hard with the French.
The rector replied that, if it pleased God,
he hoped it would. ''Nay," said the far
mer, II am sure it will, then; for He says
by the prophet Ezekiel, xxxv. l, 2, 81 Son
of man, set thy face against Mount Seir.'
Now, my wife, who is better scholar than
am, says this can be nothing but .Mounseer,
the French; and in almost the next verse
it is still stronger, for there the prophet adds:
%, Mount SER, am against thee, and |
will make thee most desolate' .
