Hands clasp forever.
The Rev. Henry G. Weston, d. D.,
makes some excellent suggestions in the
National Baptist as to the study of the
Bible. Two of these suggestions are so
practical and so easy to put into practice
that we append them. The first is as to
a very pleasant way Of reading the New
Testament; "Divide your Testament in
to thirtY-one equal parts. DO this not
by chapters but by pages. Make the ap-
prOpriate figure on the margin of the
page, and when you take your seat in the
morning read the section for the day.
You can read it in fifteen minutes, and
this will take you throufh the New Tcs-
lament twelve times in year. 1t will
not hurt you to spend the last fifteen min
utes before you retire for the night in
reading the same portion, and then you
compass the New Testament twenty-four
times year. Continue this for twenty
years and you will gain a knowledge of
the Bible that will be invaluable. Fur
OhN1IlOAS, NHSh yOul IllC NldhS W u
close whatever regrets you may have as
to the manner in which you spent other
portions of your time, these morning and
evening fifteen minutes will occasion you
10 sorrow" The second suggestion is
as to a panoramic view of subjects treat
ed Of in the sacred word: There are
subjects the full Bible view of which
the Scriptural conception-we wish to
obtain. We shall do this most readily if
we can have before US at one view for ex-
animation and comparison all the Script
ural teachings on the subject. Buy dol
lars worth of TcStaments; for this sum
you can procure from five to twenty, ac-
cording to the paper and print. You
wish to know how inspired men under
stood the divine teachings in regard to
prayer-for what men moved by the Holy
GhOS5 would ask. You cut out every
prayer recorded in the New Testament
and paste them on a broad sheet and
study them. You wish to obtain more
accurate views of the New Testament
conception Of the Kingdom of Cod Cut
out all the passages in which the phrase
occuis and spread them before YOU.
Study them as you would a dssected
map until they group themselves in some
satisfactory arrangement. Then paste
them in that order in your foolscap book
and preserve them for further study.
Take the appellations Of our Lord in the
same way. Discover, if you can, the law
Of their usage; where, in what connect
ion, for what yurpese, Christ speaks of
Himself in the first person. where, in
what connection and for what purpose
does He style Himself the Son of man;
where, III what connection, for what pur-
pose does He call Himself the Son of God.
Is there any law? If one can be ascertain
ed, know Of no method which gives
better promise of discovery than this.
There IS an amazing amount of ignorance
in regard to the Bible even amour those
who in general way are proud to call
themselves educated people. If some of
these, whether preachers or peWhOlders.
Sunday school teachers or intelligent
boys and girls, will adopt either or both
of these suggestions Of DR.. Weston's,
they will be astonished to see first, how
many things in the Scriptures they do
not know and, second, how much this
course will teach them.
