SEARCHING THE SCRIPTURES.
Better Understanding and Apprecia
tion of Great Religious Truths.

regationalist.-The popular use
| twenty years was what was called
devotional A verse or a selection or
a chapter was daily food" The new
| interest in the Bible which has be-
bcome the most notable feature of the
religious life of this generation has
been carefully distinguished from the
use of it as manual of devotion.
The historical study of the Bible has
been condemned by many as hindering
| spirituality, tolerated by others as the
necessary task of scholars who are
to be held strictly accountable for the
results they give to the common
people, and kept apart by its warmest
| advocates as an intellectual exercise,
distinct from the reading the Bible as
a means of communion with God ana
enlightenment from him.
The time is at hand when this di.
viding line between two kinds of Bible
study will become less prominent.
The historical study of the Bible is
getting at its meaning by finding
under what circumstances 1t was
written. the habits of thought and life
out of which it sprang, who wrote It,,
what prompted them to write it, ami
how its materials evolved in the use

The more earnestly one desires to
make the Bible minister TO his spir-
itual growth the greater is his interest
to know its real meaning The more
confidently one believes the Bible to
have come from God the greater Is
his desire to know how 1t came from
God that he may the more clearly

Athenians had an altar inscribed ito

would gladly inscribe. from unknown
sources" cherishing the mystery as a

AMID A SEA OF SHARKS.
Progress of Vessel Delayed by Myri-
ads of the Monsters.

Philadelphia Inquirer-When ship
is brought to standstill for twenty
four hours by a school of sharks that
extends in all directions to the hori-
zon and when the vessel sails for the
next twenty days amid nothing but
sharks it is said by old salts that it
promises to be a good season for fish
ing.
This is the story brought to Phila-
delphia by the captain of the Ameri-
can ship Babcock, from San Francis
co, with a cargo of scrap iron. In
fact, the captain hints at a tragedy,
for, according to his story, the myri-
ad of sharks left him in pursuit OF
another vessel.
The Babcock sailed from San Fran
tude 5.25 north, longitude 20 west, on
December 10, the crew became wor-
ried at the scores of sharks which
began following the vessel. During
the night the crew heard an awful
splashing about the ship and with
the morning light came the reyeld-
ton that the ocean as far as the eye
could see was covered with sharks.
The breeze fell off and what re-
manned was not sufficient to send the
vessel through the mass of fish.
A strong wind came after the vessel
had been stranded amid the sharks
| for twenty-four hours and slow head
way was possible. The captain de-
MES that the sharks tried to reach the
deck by climbing upon the backs OF
one another
For twenty days the sailors could
see nothing but sharks. They were
hundreds of miles from any land and
were getting thoroughly frightened,
when along comes another vessel The,
sharks saw that the newcomer had
the most men aboard and all went on
| in her trail, so that when New Years
day dawned the crew of the Babcock
again saw clear ocean.

GREATEST THING.
Truthfulness Above All Else
Tr+arae+;po C>r,r1r
Sermon

The Rev. Mr.. Forsyth preached at st.
Paul's fast evening from the first chap
ter of Paul's epistle to Titus, on the
duty and the beauty of truthfulness.
He referred to the bad reputation for
the vanity of the Cretans, to whom Titus
was sent as their first bishop, and said
their character must have been such as
to warrant their reputation. else st. Paul
would surely not have quo1d their great
poet and philosopher Epimenides to the
effect that the truth was not in them.
He dwelt on the absolute necessity Of
truthfulness to Christian, or even moral
character. and spoke of a teacher Of
boys who Systematically insisted to his
charges that they must fight instantly
any one who should in the slightest de-
gree impugn their truthfulness. and 10
another high-minded person who was ae-
customer to ask his son every now and
then, What is the greatest thing in the
world?" and to require the answer. To
tell the truth.
Mr.. Forsyth is now giving ten-minute
talks Immediately after the Sunday even
Ing services on Confirmation. He invites
any and all who are present at the ser-
vices to remain for the talks explaining
that they commit no one and are given
not only for the benefit of those who
wish to be confirmed, but for that OF all
who are interested for any reason what
soever in the subject treated. Last even
