Sunday schools for bible study are now
being organized. and condu ted after
the manner of the day school, with
regular amount of work to be accom-
plished.
We may not be able to revolutionize
our S s. in this way, but the past six
months we have had excellent oppor-
tunities to develop scientific bible study
from historical standpoint, from
character standpoint, and from the
standpoint of some topics.
One thing is surely in our power, we
may each of us be ourselves, what we
wish the members of the S. s. to be-
come, systematic bible students. To
this end, let us make the prayer of the
Psalmist our own: "Open thou mine
eyes that may behold wordrous things
out of thy law"
