Iducted Il very successful series O.
meetings in the city three YEAR
lago and large number of hi
admirers Of that time were pres
cnt yesterday.
In the course of his opening re-
marks, Mr.. Garry incidentally men
toned that since he was here three
years ago, he had been working
with Helen Gould's people in the
East. He remarked eff you don Z
know who ! am | will tell you. IN
an Iiishman saved by grace, a
plain blunt man, a Christian. +"
Ny Bible is my dictionary"
said Mr.. Garry, and he demon
shated his statement bv showing
that he knew just where to find
any ordinary word of the English
language in the scriptures. 81
could neither read nor write when T
was 80 years old. Since that time
I have educated myself by reading
the Bible. There is no other book
that contains such beautiful SEN
tences, no other book that con-
tains such variety of words and
phrases, no other book that con-
tains the word of God, then isn't
it indeed worth the while to
study it," said the speaker.
"We 60 too fast in our study
Of the Scriptures and that is one
reason why more of us do not get
interested" said Mr.. Garry. "In
studying the Bible we should
adopt the motto used by the Penn
sylvania railroad for warning at
its crossings, stop, look and lis
ten; 90 slowly and be thorough. ,
Mr.. Garry referred to the various
systems of Bible study. He spoke
of the historical side, the word
study system, the reference system
and the ink or marking system.
He spoke Of several remarkable
features Of the Bible.
"Fear Not", appears in the Bible
just 365 times. a remarkable COIN
cident, there being a "fear not"
for every day in the year. There
are sixty-seven books in the Bible
and in the first five, Jesus quotes
just exactly sixty-six times. Jonah
spoke Of himself just thiity-nine
times and was then swallowed by
the whale. When he turned his
thoughts from Sage" and centered
them on God, the whale immedia-
tely landed him on terra firma.
In conclusion the speaker spoke Of
many other more common features
Of the scriptures.
