must be willing to let the Bible mean
what it wants 10 mean We must be
willing 10 have our lives changed, cost

8. Finally. It should be a practical

scripture language: "AH that the Lord

Thoughts On the Tonic

The group stood by the side of the
stormy Galilee- Their appetites. which
The morning lake breezes had whetted
we're satisfied Another appetite also
which had been whetted by three years
OF association with Him, was satifed.
The former appetite by food for the
body, hsh and bread; and the latter with
food for The mind and soul, the blessed
words Of Christ.
Some Of these words were prophecies
some instructions. some words OF en-
couragement, and still others were
questions Among the last class we find
our Searching question, - Lowest thou

Three times this question was pu- 20
Peter Three times Peter had denied
Him. Three 5imes now he must affirm

his love should be doubted, and. sec

trusted, Peter appeals TO Gods ornnfs-
cience, saying, Lord, Thou kuowest all
things: Thou knovest that I love Thee.

The Importance of Devotional Bible
Study.


To Us as Christians is the test
OF true dIscipleship. Christ says: IF
ye abide IN my word. then are ye truly
my disciples" The real test is the If.
and that IS not possible apart from de
votional Bible study.
Such Bible study alone slows Us thu
needs of our spiritual lives. It re-
veaIs to US the weak places in or
armor. the points of least resistance
in our lives.
Chrysostom says: "The muse of all
our evils is our not knowing the scrip
lures" Therefore, if. We would over
come doubts. temptations, passion. evil
imaginations, uncIean, u,-holy. and
proud thoughts, let us center our ca
ergies upon such study.
The devotional study OF the Bible
alone shows US the possibilities Of orr
spiritual lives The only place WHERE
the great mountain peaks o. rhristiaa
experience are revealed is il the scrip
lures.
Would We be Christians of more than
ordinary spiritual power: Then We
must be great feeders upon the Worl,
which Is not only quick oct powerful.
De Quincy has divided all knowledge
into the literature OF knowledge and the
literature of power. The sacred writ
ings constitute pre- eminently the liter
AZURE Of power To have real powe-
with God We must give ourselves 70
this study
other helps to spirituality, without
devotional Bible study, may become dan
gerous- The habit OF meditation, for ex-
ample, without the Bible. is likely to
lead man TO become morbid aud mel
anchoIy; whereas, conducted with the
aid OF the Bible it is a most heaItbfuI
process. Secret prayer, moreover. is
practically impossible without Bible
study, because real prayer is not mono
Iogue but dialogue It requires two TO
have true communion. We must give
God an opportunity to speal. to Us as
well as we TO Him.

tFrom the Christian Endravor WorldD
" hen Christ said, Follow Ne" where
did He mean? He has told US where:
into the prisons, tie sick room where
there are people in need of food al.d
clothing. George Bowen says that many
people make up for themselves a kind
OF phantom Christ whom they. see NOV
ing on before them IN pleasant. easy
paths aud they follow Him, while they
let the true Christ go His way alone.
As soon as Paul saw Christ he fell at
His feet, and asked TO be set at work
for Him No one can really see Chris
without loving Him. OF love Him with
out wanting TO serve Him Mark Guy
Pearse compares Christ to the spring
SUI that cannot show itself without
quickening-n life in the seed and the
root; and these. when they are quick
ened. must unfold in leaf and bud and
Slower.
The apostle urges Us to work for the
sinner and try TO bring him to Christ.
because he is our brother for whom
Christ died That is a lovely phrase.
and 1t IS illustrated by a lovely story
