naughty becomes a new word for THE
child. The mother presses her littleli
child to her bosom and says, L love
you. my darling. This becomes the
of love, and love IS the new
word to the child. God forbid that we
should know any other meaning OIL
love. We have no words to tell what
we don't know. Revelation could not bs
IN words we don't know. There Is all
cry against Latin and Greek that they
are dead languages, but deader than
these is the language Of innocency.

language becomes polluted. The fight
today is between the soul and clay.
God spoke the best he could in His
dealings with the people in the Old
Testament Thei'e Christ came with
all the prerequisites of a modern teach
er. Did He know His subject? Yes, Hs
was teacher sent from God. Was he
apt? Yes; even His enemies said,
Never a man spoke hike this mani Did
lie love His pupils? Yes; He died for
lliis class"
The Bishop illustrated the simplicity
OF Christ's teaching by the parables

paper that will not admit OF different
interpretations by different persons"
The Bishop then illustrated the ne
cessity Of being specially prepared on
the Bible TO understand It by Philips
teaching theanich. Il believein special
lists, but don't like a man who Is too
Especially a specialist No man is pre-
pAred to teach this revelation unless
he has been to a primary school de-
scribed In this Book. Specialists have
their limitation. Must be where you
need this Book before you will under
stand it's meaning"
The Bishop spoke eloquently for an
