Read the Bible when you are fresh
and wide awake; when the brain is
clear and you are not pressed for time.
Read it as the only book on earth that
has dropped down from Heaven, as
your directory for life and your guide
TO Immortality, and it will become new
book to you altogether.-ReU. y. THAN
DAVIDSON.
Bring thy children up in learning
and obedience, yet without outward
susterity. Give them good counte-
nance and convenient maintenance ac-
,ording to thy ability; otherwise thy
life will seem their bondage, and what
portion thou shalt leave them at thy
death, they will thank death for it, and
aot thee. Lord Bsrleigh.
Sin is very simple word. but it is
. very awful thing. A little child could
spell the word; but no one, not even
the angels that dwell in Heaven. could
explain the thing, or tell the evils it has
wrought. It is deadly tree. whose
fruit and whose shadows have filled the
world, and from which everybody has
suffered. Our Young People.
The man who has a good round in
come and fares sumptuously every day,
and clothes himself and family in the
finest material, and spends hundreds OF
dollars annually in recreation and
pleasure, and then gives only s. for
benevolent purposes, calling it the
Widows mite" by way of apology, must
be sadly lacking in self-respect, to say
nothing about religious principle

Its Influence Upon the Home and the Lar
guage of Scholars.

Its Influence Upon the Home and the Lam
guage of Scholars.
1t Is safe 10 say that there is no other
book which has had SO great an infu-
ence upon the literature of the world as
the Bible. And it is almost as safe-at
least with no greater danger than that
OF starting an instructive discussion
to say that there is no other literature
which has fe this influence so deeply
or shown it SO clearly as the English.
The cause of this latter fact is not
far to seek. 1t may be. as discon-
tented French critic suggests, that it is
partly due to the Unborn and incorrigi-
BILE tendency Of tho AnglO-Saxon mind
to drag re igion and morality into
every thing. But certainly this tend
ency would never have taken such a
distinctly Biblical form had it not been
for the beauty and vigor of our COM
mon English version Of the Scriptures.
These qualities were felt by the people
even before they were praised by the
critics. Apart from all religious pre-
possessions, mon and women and chill
dren were fascinated by the native
power and grace of the book. The
English Bible was popular. in the
broadcast sense, long before it was rec
ognized as one of our noblest classics. 1t
has colOred The talk Of households and
the street. as well as nodded the lam
guage of scholars. It has been some
thing more than "a we'll of English un-
detiled;" it has become part of the
spiritual atmosphere. We hear the
echoes of its speech everywhere, and
the music of its familiar phrases haunts
all the fields and groves of our fine lit
erature.
1t is not only to the theologians and
the sermon makers that we look for
biblical illusions and quotations. We
often find the very best and most vivid
OF them in writer's professedly secular.
Poets like Shakespeare, Milton and
Wordsworth; novelists like Scott, and
romancers like Hawthorne; essayists
like Bacon. Steele and Addison; critics
OF life. unsystematic philosophers. like
Carlyle ald H.sSxiS all draw upon the
Bible as treasury of illustrations. and
use it as book equally familiar to
themselves and to their readers. 1t is
impossible to put too high value upon
such universal volume, even as a
purely literary possession. Rev. DIR.

To the Editor of The EVENING STAR:
movement is on foot by prominent citizens
of Washington to tender a grand testimonial
concert to Miss Marie Decca at an early date.
at which she will have the assistance of emf
nent artists. The concert will probably be
managed by Mr.. l.. NJ. Ruben. He has the
greatest confidence in Miss Decca's ability for
the concert stage. Miss Decca's connection
with the Emma Juch opera company was for
many reasons not desirable one. She was
handicapped Ill a great many ways. but she is
DESTROYS of showing her numerous friends in
Washington, her native city, and the public
that she knows how TO sing and that her many
successes which she has achieved Ill Paris and
London are not without foundation.
