	SCRIPTURE ALPHABET No. 2 The following doggerel was the result of an attempt at an impromptu alphabet given viva voce by the players in turn—quoted for the encouragement of feeble­minded folk: A stands for Abigail, noble and fair. B is for Balaam, whose ass had a scare. C is for Cain, who his brother did slay. D is for Daniel, prayerful three times a day. E for Elijah, who by ravens was fed. F is for Felix, who trembled with dread. G is for Gideon, who had a famed band. H is for Haman, both tricky and bland. I is for Ichabod, last of his race. J is for Jezebel, who painted her face. K is Karenhoppock, a daughter of Job. L is for Levi, who wore the priest's robe. M is for Mary, who had seven devils. N is for Noah, who escaped many evils. O for Onesimus, who did run away. P for the Publican, who taught us to pray. Q is the Queen, who came from the East. R is for Reuben, whom Joseph did feast. S is for Stephen, killed by a stone. T is for Titus, of whom little is known.
