The words of the Mas-

Why Tvead the Bible.
Whv should one read the bible
when there are so many thousands of
other books which are popular and
much clamored after, and everybody
Is reading them. Still, do you know
that the essense of all learning is
dirivative from the Bible. Why the
Bible, because it is the book of books,
the fountain from which we all draw
the truth. Solomon in Eclesiaates said
in chapter twelve and verse twelve.
"And further, by these, my son be
admonished, of making many books
there is no end and much study is
a weariness of the flesh." Solomon
was right when he said of the niak-
tQ the way of ,ife
Well do we remember when we
were young, that verse which has
come to us often since:
"Holy Bible, book devine,
Precious treasure thou art mine.
Mine art thou to guide my youth.
In the paths of love and truth."
The one who is well versed in the
Uible lias a fountain of truth always
at his finger tips, and can always find
ready use for the knowledge which
he has acquired for did not even the
Master himself quote scripture to the
devil when he was attempting to
tempt the Master.
Had we the scriptures ever ready at
our command we would be fortified
against temptation just as He was.
With the poetary, history, law,
love, romance and above and beyond
all this the very way of life we are
armed for every and all purposes, and
thus are enabled to bring convincing
argument when ever we are in need
of it.
The Bible with its completeness is
a wonderfully constructed book, which
was in writing by the different auth
ors of which there were fortv. for
tola. neriof? of sixteen hundred vears.
for all sixty-six books. With this the
entirety of the book is one wonder
fully harmonious whole from the first
chapter of Genesis, which declares.
"In the beginning God created the
Heavens and the earth and the earth
was without form and void and dark
ne?s covered the face of the deep." to
the last verse of the Revelations of
Jesus, the Christ, the Son of God, and
given to John and which reads, auot-'
ing the hist three verse:"And if any
I man shall take away from the works
;of tihs book, this prophecy, God shall
( take away his part out of the book of
life and out of the Holy City, and
f-om the things which are written in
this book. He that testifieth these
things, saith. Surely I come quickly .
Amen. Even so come Lord Jesus. The
grace of the Lord Jesus Christ be with
you all. Amen."
This, the Alpha and Omega of the
Bible, but within the book are the
secrets of success, the most wonder
ful poetry, the profoundest reasoning,
the most truthful history and the
guide to all our actions in this life
and the key which unlocks the future,
for the wonderful declaration, the
Golden Text of the Bible reads, John
three, sixteen. "God so loved the
world that he gave his only begotten
son that whosoever believeth on Him
should not parish but have eternal
life." "
The Master said unto Martha: "Thy
brother shall rhe again." Martha re
plied, "Yst. I know he shall rise at
the resurection at the last day," but
Christ then answered her: "I am the
resurection and the life, and whoso
ever believth on me though he were
dead yet shall he live and whosoever
liveth and believeth on me shall never
die. Believeth thou this." I
Martha said. Yea, Lord, I believe
that thous are the Christ which should
come into the world. With the begin
ning of time began the recording of
the relation of man and God. and con
tinued until after the crucifiction of
the Master. Forty of the smartest
and most inspired men of all the
ages had to do with the writing of
this wonderful book, rwhich is to
guide the world until time shall be
no more and the last person shall
have lived on earth. W. C. Sayres
says regarding his youthful exper-
ienc when the Father read the
Bible:
"Tonight my memory bears me back
Over my life's eventful track,
Once more I sit beside th hearth
Enlivened by the talk and mirth.

SACKS THEE AT ABOVE PEICES
Mynard,
OutFide the snow drifts block the door
Within we hear the good fire roar.
Storicr are told nud scngs are sung,
Oentleneos sits on every tongue
While reverence wears a golden
crown.
When father takes the Bible down.
And so before we knealt in prayer,
David and Paul and Christ were there.
Through all the.se years the shepherd
song
Has kept my heart from going wrong.
The exhortations given by Paul
Have been for me a fortress wall.
And Christ himself through peace
and strife.
Has walked beside me all my life "
The seed planted in early youth
has kept the man and woman steady
during the trying hours of temptation
in later years. The words of life from
the good Old Bible have kept many a
man steady when troubles of what
ever nature it may have been, for it
has drawn him like pole star to the
right and the one had rejoinced that
these passages have come to him and
like the magnetic nedle pointing to
the poie star has guided the one to
the goal of his desires.
Reading and studying the Bible
should be most valuable to all as
only through this doorway are we to
learn about the great beyond. True
the telescope has told us about the
other heavenly bodies, of the sun and
its myrieds of sattalites which Con
stitute the heavenly host of ..the ma
terial bodies, but as the master of the
universe the Lord of Creation and the
one great and omnipotant Father, the
Creator of all things, we come to the
true source for this learning.
But a very moderate practice of
reading will have covered the entire
Bible in one year. Read three chap
ters every week day and five chap
ters on Sunday and in one year they
are all read.
That Bible, the inspired work of
God is one that is as much ours as
we shall make it by study and know
ing ourselves, and it's benefits as we
put in practice after we shall have
acquired it.
