THE CHRISTIAN'S USE THE BIBLE. Deuteronomy, vi.4-9 othy, iii.14-17. Golden Text. Jamp unto m unto my patl oF 1L Tim- Thy word is a feet, and light . Psalm, cxix.cv. Phillips Brooks claimed th: ous people read thin superfic | of religlous sentiment, but meet face-toface the stron | masculine pages’ of their Bibles.” If any Christian neglects to use the Bible, the fault rests with him. It can be carried with us at all times and in |every piace as a constant companion, ready at an; us a more abundant life. The Bible differs from the sacred volumes of other faith, like the Maxims of Con- fucius and the Koran, in that it is |a book of life. The pagan writings | command, but the Holy Schiptures seek | to persunde men through their reve- {1ations of the love of Jehovah for H: { people. Throughout the centuries He | has been struggling with men to make them know Him, burdened for the | welfare of His people, and unwilling |to give them up to reap the xesults of their neglect of His word. | The Bible surasses all other books |in the world by its wonderful unity. It is confposed of 66 separate books, {that were penned by 40 different ters during the period of fifteen | hundred years.® These authors were t “religi al books not exacting do ings to the building and main- | drawn from all the varied walks of | life, of varied culture, and | although each one of these b definite message, the Bible is not | compilation of heterogeneous pam- | phiets, but is one book, with a teach- |ing of the One God running through lit from the beginning to the end. It required centuries to produce this | book, because it had to be lived be- | fore it was written. “Out of the life, I- | for the life, must the word of life be understood. ‘While the Bible grew out of religion that produced men willlng to hear God's voice, it was to souls open to receive His message that Jehovah spoke, with the result that “holy men of God spake as they were moved by the Holy Ghost.” The messages of these men under the leadership of the Holy Spirit have produced Christianity by imparting to men the message of redemption, that has given them life from abovs Divine Author. Deuteronomy, that the evangel of law, lling upon Israel voice. In the opening e the third revelation that th has been we find In called oses | o we hav zave of the being of Jehovah, telling the nation that He was One. In Gen- esis he spoke of God as the Almighty ind in Exodus he sald that He was Eternal. Having revealed Jehovah the highest Power, Eternity, and Unity, Moses called upon Israel to learn and obey God's law. The per- perfection, and power of the is due to the fact that the author of the sacred Scriptures is none other than Jehovah, who made known the reality of His interest in | their affairs by His revelations given to the holy men, who were moved by he Holy Spirit to speak. Although “the world is abla with God from atom to archangel” that illustrates the message of the Bible to men, the foundation of our faith and our hopes of salvation are all drawn from the Scriptures. The Bible makes the reader frankly face the fact that “the mystery of life gives us a blessed experience by which the secret purpose of God is made known to us. and even more in passionate belief in love, the love of a friend and neighbor, and the love of God,” and in the absolute faith that we are all of us, from the lowest and most degfiraded human soul to the loftiest and wisest, knit togeth: with chains of infinite nearness and dearness under God and “in Him and through His Grace we have been given fello ip with Him.” The Bible has brought us our freedom and faith It has offered itself to us through- out all its pages as a servant of our souls, as an enduring and perfect nate our pathway and to guide our steps. X The secret of understanding the Bible depends upon our knowing and doing God’s will. “If any man willeth to do His will, he shall know of the teaching.” There is a spirit in man and the inspiration of the Almighty giveth him understanding when he comes to the Bible to learn its revela- tions concerning God's thoughts, desires and purpose for men and nations. + The Bible’s Message. We should approach the Bible in a spirit of willingness to know God and do His will, if we expect to hear the revelations it contains for us con cerning_God and our l'6~lluw.=hi|;_ ‘with Him. We can't know Him without loving Him, as we are called upon to do in the commandment that sums up our obligations to Jehovah. We will love Him when we see how (hroughout the centuries He has been seeking to save the lost and impart His life unto men. Mever calls our attention to the fact that ‘‘we are not called upon to love God with our heart alone, which stands for our emotional nature; nor with our soul, which represents our indlviduality; but with our might.” The Christian is not satisfied to moment to impart unto | to hear | verse | great teacher and law-giver of Israel | standard of truth and light to illumi-| The pastor, Rev.

It is packed with the facts of life and makes clear the folly of sin, the bless {edness of the Gospel and the results of a life of service. Spiritual Living. Paul called upon Timothy, who had been trained in the Scriptures by his mother and grandmother, to live out their teaching: The great formative truths of “Love, Reverence, Faith, Courage, Mystery, Salvation,” had helpéd shape the life of the young preacher. The truths taught him |in his home he had found taught | him the way of salvation through | Christ. He accepted the written Serip- | tures, but he did not follow the inter- pretations of them that he had learned as a boy, for under Paul’s | teachings he had seen their reference to the Lord, Jesus. He was the fruits | of home training, and Paul called upon | him to realize that he must use the Bible if he wished to make®his minis- try effective.
