Exodus 16:32-36
And Moses said, This is the thing which the LORD commands, Fill an omer of it to be kept for your generations…


One day when George Moore — now a man of wealth — was accompanying his friend, Colonel Henderson, through the Waver wood on a partridge-shooting expedition, a curious ramshackle object appeared before them. It seemed to be a sort of big dhrosky with a long, broad trunk at the back end. "What is that?" asked the colonel. "Why," said George Moore, "that is the trap which I have driven into every market town in Great Britain and Ireland!" It was the carriage he had used whilst achieving such great success as a commercial traveller.

(H. O. Mackey.)
