THE BOW IN THE CLOUD.

"I do set my bow in the CLOUD, and it shall be for a token of a

covenant between me and the earth. And it shall come to pass,

when I bring a CLOUD over the earth, that the bow shall be seen in

the CLOUD: and I will remember my covenant, which is between me

and you and every living creature of all flesh; and the waters shall

no more become a flood to destroy all flesh. And the bow shall be

in the CLOUD; and I will look upon it, that I may remember the

everlasting covenant between God and every living crcature of all

flesh that is upon the earth."—GEN. IX. 13-16,

THE LITTLE CLOUD ON THE SEA.

"And Elijah said unto Ahab, Get thee up, eat and drink; for there is a

sound of abundance of rain. So Ahab went up to eat and to drink.

And Elijah went up to the top of Carmel; and he cast himself down

upon the earth, and put his face between his knees, and said to

his servant, Go up now, look toward the sea. And he went up,

and looked, and said, There is nothing. And he said, Go again

seven times. And it came to pass at the seventh time, that he

said, Behold, there ariseth a little CLOUD out of the sea, like a man's

hand. And he said, Go up, say unto Ahab, Prepare thy chariot,

and get thee down, that the rain stop thee not. And it came to

pass, in the meanwhile, that the heaven was black with CLOUDS and

wind, and there was a great rain."-1 KINGS XVIII. 41-45,
