In Isaiah: " Thus saiththe Lord, Behold, I place on the foundationsof Sion a precious stone,elect,chief,a corner stone,honourable; and he who trustethin Him shall not be confounded."4 Also in the 117th Psalm: "The stone which the buildersrejected,the same is become the head of the corner. This is done by the Lord, and itis wonderful in our eyes. This is the day which the Lord hath made ; letus rejoiceand be glad in it. O Lord, save therefore; O Lord, directtherefore. Blessed is He who cometh in the name of the Lord."5 Also in Zechariah: " Behold, I bring forthmy servant.
