chairman called the meeting to
order at $40 a. m. After devotional
services he introduced Rev. DR.. Dun
ming, Of Boston, Mass, secretary Of
the Congregational Sunday School and
Publishing Society, and principal Of
the National ChautauQua Normal
Union. Teachers, he said, must nm
derstand his subject, How to Study
the Bible and How to Teach II.
We should regard 1t &C worthy OBJ
iect for study. We are too apt 70 con-
sidev the Sunday school as child's
play. A visitor to ChautauquA asked
him II he was q teacher Of the art de-
partnlent. She left him when he mem
| toned the Bible. He might have told
her that ten out of the twelve first
class pictures draw their themes from
the Rible. He might have showed her
| that the English Bible was the founda-
| ton Of all English literature. One
half of all the letters put into the
worlds poStoifices are written In the
| language born of the Bible. Ethics
and morals are closely related 70 the
| bible.
To enjoy the study OF the Bible You
must know good deal Of it.. some OF
you read BY the boOkmarks. The
study OF any language Is drudgery
until you can compare the statements.
Christian teachers know too little of
1 ii TO enjoy 1t. You must carry the
great facts in Your minds all the time.
/ The point Of starting is that of fitness
for personal needs. but do not stop
there. He told a Y. NJ. G. A. that the
first thing was 10 tell what the Lord
had done for their soul. Amen. =
said everybody. But, he continued,
ssif you always stay there they viii get
awful tired OF You. First learn the
great primary truths OF the Bible.
Too many people think Of the Bible
as coming down from God with gilt
edges and morocco binding. The first
reference 20 the Bible In its formation
il was called the Book Of the Cove
nant: Exodus xiv.
God made m agreement with his
people. There are divisions in each
covenant.
1. From Adam 10 Abraham God
dealt only with persons with rare ex-
cepfions.
i :. From Abraham's call to the Exc
dns from Egypt God dealt with men
hy families.
5. From the Exodus TO Saul, the
first king.
1 (. From Saul TO isabylonia to Cap.
tivity.
II S. Captivity to Ghnst.
q. Christian church for seventy
! years.
DR.. Dnnning showed how Palestine
was highway for the nations. The
Assyrians. the Greeks, the Persians,
the Egyptians, all crossed Palestine.
