and grace of Jehovah, " As the heavens are higher than the 

 earth, so are rny ways higher than your ways and my thoughts 

 than your thoughts" (Isa. lv, 9). A similar beautiful 

 comparison is also employed in the following double couplet : 



" As the heaven is high above the earth, 

 So great is His mercy towards them that fear Him. 

 As far as the East is from the West, 

 So far hath He removed our transgressions from us." 



Ps. ciii, 11, 12.
