READING THE BIBLE.
Some Facts That Occur to Few Per-
sons in These Days.


sons in These Days.
did you ever figure out how long IL
would take you to read the Bible!
asked an observant man. well, you
would be surprised to know in what
short space of time you could finish
the last chapter Of the Holy BOOK.
Of course there are different ways OF
reading. There are men and women
who read without knowing anything
about what they read. They are the
class of persons who never get lasting
impressions from the book. They may
pick out one or two chapters, put
when it comes to the various phases
of the story they do not remember.
This is due largely to a sort of uncon-
scious bias which the reader shows
for one character or another, or TO an
abnormal sympathy for some of the 81
lent actors in the plot. But there are
persons On the other hand who read
critically and who can talk about the
book they have read when they come
to lay it aside Readers of this latter
kind will be considered in the calcula-
tion which follows:
There are in the Old and New Tes-
taments combined total Of 66 books,
containing 1889 chapters, 31,173 verses
and a total of 1852 words, approx
mately. The Old Testament contains
SO books, 929 chapters, 23,214 verses
and approximately 592,239 words, while
in the New Testament there are II
books, 2GO chapters, 1859 verses and
1928 words approximately. Adding
these together we get the total given.
How long will it take a person to read
the Old Testament, with its 5q2 2'9
words, or the 1S1, ,253 words Of the New
Testament? And how long to read the
1862 words of both? A man can read
undelstandingly 100 words every min
ute. By hurrying man can read l6O
words, or probably more. l will as
sumo that q man can read critically,
that is, carefully and understandingly,
at least 60 words minute. That is
slow reading, being only 5000 words
an hour. Suppose man should de-
vote an hour day to the Bible.
"At this rate he would read 100000
words in 80 days, or a months time.
At this rate he would read the Old
Testament in less than six months,
and he could finish the New Testament
in less than two months. The whole
Bible could be read in less than eight
months by devoting simply one hour
to it each day. Yet there are few per-
sons outside of students who claim to
have read the Bible from lid to lid.
Which argues that the age is strangely
perverse. New Orleans Time-Demo-
