Day of days, whose promised glory
Israel's holy psalms unfold,
Giving voice to solemn sound. "Thousand, thousand are the praises
To the Bridegroom which they raise ;
With one voice in triumph singing
Through the everlasting days,
Hallelujah, without end." See Trench, Sacred Latin Poetry, p. 227 sq.; Mone, Ifymni Latini, i, 316; Koch, Geschkhte des deutschen Kirchenliedes, i, 109. (B. P.)
Quandt, Johann Jacob, a Lutheran theologian, doctor and professor of theology, was born March 27, 1686, at Kiinigsberg, in Prussia, where he also died Jan. 17, 1772. as church-counsellor and general superintend- ent. Of his writings we mention, Judenpredigt (Kim- igsberg, 1710): — De Atramento Hebrmorum, ex Pan- dectis Talmudicis (ibid. 1713) : — De Cultris Circurnciso- riis et Secesjii/is Hebraorum (ibid. 1713) : — De Cornibus Altai-is Exterioris (ibid. 1713) : — De Cinere in Sacris
highest in Judaea, called Quarantana (by the Arabs Kuruntul), in allusion to the forty days' fasting of Je- sus, and which is supposed to be the mount alluded to in Matt, iv, 8 (see Thomson, Land and Bool; ii, 450; Wilson, Bible Lands, ii, 12) ; but by some it is identified with the Rock of Rimmon, where the defeated Benja- mites took refuge (Judg. xx,47). " The mountain rises precipitously, an almost perpendicular wall of rock, twelve or fifteen hundred feet above the plain, crowned with a chapel on its highest point. The eastern front is full of grots and caverns, where hermits are said once to have dwelt in great numbers. At the present day, some three or four Abyssinians are said to come hither annually to pass the time of Lent upon the mountain, living only upon herbs. There is nothing else remark- able about this naked cliff to distinguish it from the other similar ones along the Ghor and the Dead Sea farther south.

northerly portion of Lapland which is called Finmark or Norwegian Lapland. This dreary region, having for its northern boundary the Arctic or Frozen Ocean, is the habitation of about 6000 people, called the Quanes, who till within the last half century were left without any version of the Scriptures in their vernacular dialect. The Bible Society of Finland sent to them copies of the Finnish Testament, but this version was unintelligible to them, and even so the Lappish Testament, although they speak a dialect of Laplandish. In 1822 the Brit- ish and Foreign Bible Society voted £200 to promote a version in Quanian, and it was not till the year 1828 that arrangements for the immediate translation of the New Testament were made by the Norwegian Society. The execution of the translation was committed to Mr. Stoekrleth, a missionary of eminent devotedness, who in 1828 was laboring as a pastor among the uncivilized tribes of Laplanders under the seventy-first degree of north latitude, where, during two months of the year, the sun never rises. In 1840 the translation of the New Testament was completed, and an edition was pub- lished at Christiania, under the superintendence of the Norwegian Bible Society. See The Bible of Every Land, p. 324. (B. P.)
Quanwoii is, in Japanese mythology, an embodi- ment of the goddess Amida. She is represented with a multitude of hands, each holding a different object, probably things useful to men, whom she has under- taken to make happy. Her temples are splendid, of extraordinary dimensions, and ^^m, filled with idols : 33,333 are said d to be contained in the temple of Miako ; hence its name, Sa?i mun San Tsin, which signifies the temple of the 33,333 images. A large number of children are represented around her in her pictures: they are the gods themselves looking up to her with love and veneration. — Yoll- mer, Worterb. d. Mythol. s. v.
