The Old Testament story of Moses* sojourn in the wilderness includes the providential provision of dally manna. Modem history records other wonderful things that have fallen from the heavens. A mass of burning sulphur the alee of a man’s fist fell at Pultnsk, Poland. January 30. 1868, and was stamped out by a crowd of villagers. A shower of limestone pebbles came down at Pel-et-Der. France, June 6, 1890, falling like hall. A large, gritty, smooth, water-worn sandstone- cobble, reported to have fallen at Little Lever, England, was found In the heart of a beech tree. It looked as If It had fallen red-hot and had penetrated the tree at a high velocity. Another large stone was found In 1855 in the Interior of a tree tn Battersea fields, according to the Philosophical Magazine. At the foot of the tree fragments were found as if broken off the embedded stone.
