Text, st Luke 10: 20, allow readest thou?"
You know how a certain lawyer came
to our Lord asking what he should do to
inherit eternal life. Now this lawyer
was not the sort that we have nowadays
whom we designate as attorneys, but he
was a man whose business it was to know
the ms and outs of the law of God, as set
forth in the Old Testament Scriptures.
So when he comes to our Lord asking
such question, we can readily imagine
the Master looking up at him in a sort of
mild surprise as He puts the counter ques-
ton, "What is written in the law?"
"How readest ThouP' The lawyers re-
ply shows that he was we'll read in the
letter of the law, however he might fall
short In its spirit. This question, so
much to the purpose on the lips OF the
Master,as applied to the reading of Gods
law, Is equally pertinent to US as applied
to reading Of whatever sort. Hence 1T
seems to me eminentlY fitting to use this
question as sort of peg upon which to-
hang few thoughts with regard to the
manner OF reading. So, as last week, l
tried to answer the question, ''Wbat shall
the young man read ?" at this time I come
with this other equally important ques.
ton, ''How shall he, or any one else,
readY' Coleridge divides readers into
four classes:
I. Sponges, who absorb all that they
read, and return 1t nearly in the same
shape, only little dIrtied.
2. sandglasses, who retain nothing and
are content to get through book, for
the sake Of getting through time.
8. Strainbags, who retain merely the
dregs Of what they read.
4. Mogul diamonds, equally rare and
valuable, who profit by what they read
and enable others to profit by it also. |
Studying these four divisions we Hnd
that three Of them indicate how not to !
read. Let as then for few minutes con- !
slider them in their proper order.

quainted. He is the one that father,

Sweetest vestel of the year,
In her little purple hood
Frightening the lonesome wood.

Love our cup OF life that Ills,
Since in Springs remem bered hooks,
Lifting fain familiar looks,

through which OF the twelve would the
blessing come? However, when the
aged Jacob is on his death-bed, he is
seized with the spirit of prophecy, and
we learn that not through Reuben, the
frst-born, nor through Joseph, the we'll
beloved, but through Judah the fourth
son, born Of Leah the forsaken" should
Messiah come to bless the nations.
Hear the solemn words of the dying
patriarch, 1.-The sceptre shall not depart
from Judah, nor a law-giver from be-
tween his feet until Shiloh come, and
unto Him shall the gathering of the peo-
pie be-" 1t is worthy of note that this
promise is repeated in different words by
the prophet Micah. God reveals no more
at time than man can comprehend so ma
ny years pass sway before we find the
Prophet ls4iah declaring that the partic-
ular descendant of Judah who should be
the progenitor of the Messiah was David,
the Psalmist King. Then different proph-
cts tell other parts of the story; Micah
points out the place where, and Daniel
the time when, the Redeemer should be
born, while others like Isaiah and vari-
Gus writers in the Psalms tell of Messi-
abs life, sufferings and death. Thus
much for the Christ of Prophecy, al
though the outline is by no means COM
plete. Turn we now to the Christ of
History as set forth in the New Tesla
ment. Here we find four writer's
WHO TELL TIE STORY OF FULFILLMENT.
How that Christ was born Of the
seed of Abraham, of the seed of
Isaac, of the family of Jacob, of the tribe
of Judah, of the royal house of David, at
the time when Daniel foretold; and at
the place where Micah fixed His birth
place. They likewise tell how He con-
quered the Serpent; how He lived sin
less life. wrought many wonderful mira
Giles, and at the last died an iguominious
de tn, all as it was foretold by the
prophets, whose words are referred to
and their fulfillment claimed by the
writers. Furthermore, the whole of the
New Testament besides is full of this
wonderful story, and the last book, that
of Revelations, shows the Messiah trium-
phant over sin, the world and the Devil,
sitting at tho right hand of the Father,
making intercession for the Shortcomings
of still sinful world.
Thus we have set forth, not only def
mite aim with which to read Holy Scrip
lures, but also a hint at a systematic
method. For, beginning at the first re-
corded prophecy in the Sd chapter of
the book of Genesis, and calling in the
aid of reference Bible, one may find all
the other prophecies, together with their
fulfillment, in the writings of the New
Testament. Perhaps some one may ask, |
Must not read the Bible through in |
course?' Most certainly; but do not, |
pray, do so fer the sake of saying that |
you have done it, but with eyes ever
open for the Christ that is to be found |
there; for SIS the Bible without the Christ
Of Prophecy, and the Christ of history is
naught, so will your reading come to
naught if you fail to fiud Him.
The Prophet jeremiah must have had
some such thought in mind, as L have
been trying to impress upon You, when
be wrote the 10Th chapter and the 10th
verse of his prophecy. Praying to God
about His Word, the Prophet says. "Thy
words were found, and | did eat them i

| Among the books that are to be tasted
suppose we might reckon newspapers
and periodicals, for life is too short to
read daily paper, weekly or two, or
three or four monthlies exhaustively.
Amor books to be swallowed, / fancy
would be found the great mass of fiction
that is poured out of the printing press
every year in fl pod, for if one attempt
ed to digest them all he would surely
bring on mental dyspepsia. But it Is
with the books that must be chewed and
digested that / purpose to deal in this
lecture, because it is only in that way
that reading can by any possibility make
full man. A book worth reading for
anything moce than real pastime, is
worth reading more than once. Indeed
it is impossible to get all out of it at the
| first perusal. For example, there are
works by some of the masters of fiction
that | have read at the very least twice.
First read fC the story, that is to get &C
quainted with the people, and find out
HOW THEY LIVE AND WHAT THEY DO.
But that is not all | read story for; so
by and by take up the book again to
| find out how the author tells the story,
that is to say the skill he has manifested.
| First in literary expression and second
in the working out Of his plot. After
all, there may be nothing in this of per-
manent value; so we will suppose that
one desires to read some standard work,
perhaps a book of history, therefore we
will spend little time in finding out
how such reading should be done. In
this discussion, it is presumed that the
purpose Of this kind Of reading is the
acquisition of knowledge. Then, keep
ing that purpose in view, it is manifest
that no reading is of any permanent val
ne, unless the reader retains some con.
siderable portion of the subject matter,
and makes it a parts of his intellectual
capital. Let US take up for the purpose
of illustration, the history of our mother
country, Great Britain. Referring back
to the ancient history, we find it falling
naturally into about three divisions.
1. The Roman dominion.
2. The Saxon occupation whereby
the English nation was born.
3. The Norman period.
The first begins with the year 55 B. c.
