very being, and this ia evidently Dayid's
plan Of studying the Bible. He COM
mitted 1t to memory. And he says, Il
will not forget thy word This NAV
seem an impossible tack, but 1t is an
easy thing to do. Let one verse be your
daily portion to commit to memory. It
will take not over five or ten minute, to
do this. But do not select your verse
at random. Commit to memory the
striking and apt passages of the Bible,
those that contain the vital doctrines
and promises of Gods word. And LET
there be regular time in each day. 1t
would be q most refining influence in
your homes for the husband and wife to
agree for each member of the family to
repeat such a verse at the breakfast
table or at some meal. Never let a day
pass without committing to memory at
least one verse of Scripture and you will
be surprised at your acquisition of Bible
knowledge in a short time. Any Chris
tiap ought to be ashamed not to spend
more than five minutes with the Holy
Scriptures each day for scriptural nour-
ishment when he thinks one hour each
day is necessary at the dining table for
bodily nourishment. So think it can
be safely said that no Christian can
afford to spend less than one hour every
day in the study of Gods word. When
chapter is thoroughly read have your
the chapter. BY all means read with the
greatest attention and reverence, remem-
boring that it is Gods word YOU are
reading. 1t is we'll to read some of the
books and especially the epistles through
at one reading.
"Why should we thus study the Bibleq
The second half of the text answers the
questlon, IN order that we might not sin
against God If Bible study will keep
us from SHINING against God, oh! what
greater incentive could we have to in
spire us to great diligence and earnest
ness in this matter. Yes, it is a blessed
truth that our Saviour taught by His own
example that the Bible student is fur
nished with powerful sword of the
spirit, which is sharper than any two
edged sword, with which he can resist
temptation to sin.
"Show mo man who is comparatively
free from sin, and l will show you man
who is Bible student. 1t is the only
book from which we can obtain q knOwi-
edge of God; it is the only book that
gives true history of Jesus of Nazareth,
the Saviour of the world; it is the only
book that gives the plan of salvation.
Brethren, let us search tho Scriptures for
these hidden treasures of eternal ioy, for
they will keep us from SHINING against
God"
