438. Verse 26 And to Seth also was born a son, and he called his name Enosh; then they began to call on the name of Jehovah.

'Seth', as has been stated, means faith through which charity may be received. 'His son whose name was Enosh' means a Church which considered charity to be the primary element of faith. 'Then they began to call on the name of Jehovah' means that Church's worship deriving from charity.
