JETHRO, xviii. 1-27.
Gentiles in new aspect. Church may learn from secular wisdom,
259.--Little is said of Zipporah: Jethro's pleasure, 260.--A Gentile
priest recognised. Religious festivity, 261.--Jethro's advice: its
importance, 262.--Divine help does not supersede human gift, 263.
THE TYPICAL BEARINGS OF THE HISTORY.
Narrative is also allegory. Danger of arbitrary fancies. Example from
Bunyan. Scriptural teaching, 264.--Some resemblances are planned: others
are reappearances of same principle, 265.--So that these are evidential
analogies, like Butler's, 266.--Others appear forced. "I called My Son
out of Egypt" refers to Israel, 267.--But the condescending phrase
promised more, and the subsequent coincidence is significant, 268.
Truths cannot all be proved like Euclid's, 269.
