The Reading of the Bible.


Certainly more Bibles are sold to-day
than ever before Still, it may be said,
Yes, the Bible is bought, but Is it
readT Let us see about that.
One great cause Of the increase In
the sale Of Bibles is the spread of the
modern Sunday school. In this phase
OF church work millions Of teachers
and scholars gather for the express
purpose Of Bible study. The various
church societies, such as the Christian
EndeaVor, make up another vast Bible
reading public.
OF late years what are called re-
sponsive readings have greatly snread
among non-liturgical congregations,
This results in Bible reading on very
large scale
The prevalence Of Bible conferences
and Of large Bible institutes and class
es, bespeoks widespread study of the
Bible. Many thousands frequent these
conferences, and their programs Of
blDle study are followed by a multi
tude who cannot attend ,-Chnrcb

was permitted to take only rev
steps. however, for eager hands were
outstretched to detain him and escor
him back to the instrument he haC
made to produce music such as most Of
his audience never had heard before.
This was nine years ago and the mar
was Victor H. Benke, who Is today 6
prolific contributor to the Songs OF
Praise, compiled by Ira D. Sankey
and to other collections Of hymns. His
remarkable experience in the Bowery
Mission inspired the popular song
THE Volunteer Organist," and his eff
forts there led to his regeneration, and
the position he now enjoys.
Even now on Tuesday evenings,
when the weekly concerts are given,
Benke starts the program with stir
ring overture, on a beautiful organ
presented by DR.. Louis Klopsch, and he
introduces his own appliances Of Gym
balls, bass and snare drums.
Benke was born in Ratlbor, Silesia.
His father, an architect, wished him
to enter the government service, but
he, as we'll as his elder brother, Err
nest, early was drawn to music, and he
spent all his spare time studying that
art. Ernest eventually went to Eng
land, where he served as a violOncel-
list with the Orchestras Of Sir Charles
Halle and Sir Augustus Manns. His
brothers success abroad and his own
experience in the army at home made
Victor long to seek his own fortune,
and he chose the land Of promise,
America.
Benke has $50 hymns to his credit.
Among his collaborators were Fanny
|. Crosby, the blind poet; Charlotte
Elliott, Eben E. Rexford and others.
To-day in the Bowery Mission there
stands $4,000 organ as a monument
to the genius and character of Benke,
now a derelict no longer, but the friend
and associate Of many Of New York's
leading business men.

The Dearest Spot.
The dearest spot on earth to NE
Is where my Savior dwells.
Though all around a desert be,
I've come to Films wells.
l may be in some hostile land,
Or on some stormy sea,
But joy is mine unspeakable,
Since Jesus dweIs with me.
My peace is sweet, l dwell with Him,
And every place is home;
I've found my souls most blessed rest,
Aud never more will roam.
The safest spot on earth to me
Is IN Thy sheltering side;
For who can harm if Thou protect,
0 Christ, the crucihed?
O let Thy love, so full, so free,
Enfold ME in Thy breast,
And let ME know Thee always near,
My safety and my rest!
l want to walk with Thee in white
In these rough paths below;
Be here as pure as those above,
And dwell in heaven now.
y, grant me, Lord, Thy presence here
Along this dangerous way!
SO wilt Thou crown my life with peace
And everlasting day.
