Bible study Uass-Greetings.


For the third time we have come to
the "last year" in our Bible study
and it is with more earnestness
clearer vision, and greater enthusiasm
than ever There have been hard days,
and dark days for every one OF us,
was surely going up and down, ana
to and fro upon the earth" seeking
whom he might annoy, and setting on
US individually for his prey
A great many of us have crossed
the first milestone. Many have been
faithful over two years, and a goodly
number have won a victory with three
wears to their credit on our Bible
study. And now we begin again, some
to triumph over the four years work
complete; some to add year to work
begun, and yet others to just make
a beginning. 1t is to these. I would
speak a word. Although 1 say the
close of the work." it is only such
to those of us who have put In four
years of study, but each year Is COM
plete subject in itself, and can be
beginning year as well as a commence
ment year. This winter we have the
Acts and Epistles, and to me no year
of the four is quite so full o1-Ieal
dramatic interest. L would extend
personal invitation to any who would
like to study with US this winter, ana
especially to women who do not be
long to the clubs or to the church.
There is no better medium for inn
provement of self than this kind OF
work Every one who will, can do 1t.
There is only one question to decide:
'eWiIl 1 plan to let nothing interfere
with my attending the weekly recita-
ton ?" am sure no one need fail at
any other place. Few of US DO much
that counts without deliberately put
ting ourselves into a position mat
keeps us at work. IF one would keep
at his Bible, for any benefit, he must
work it as he does any business propo-
sition. I am not sure but most or US
would do well to have a Bible class
back of US all the time. 1t is good
investment If you think you would
care to begin with us it would please
me to tell you what you would like to
know either in my home or by tele-
phone. One class will meet at 10 a. m.
Tuesdays; another at 2:30. The 7 w
class meets on Tuesday evening, and
on account of repairs at the building,
we will begin work october at the
First Presbyterian church. Sunday
morning class meets at 9:45; high
school girls only.
Sunday evening, September "a, we
will take up the regular quarterly
Sunday school review with lantern
pictures. 1t is always a great encour-
agement to me when my friends come
to these meetings. This time, am
quite sure you will be pleased, and l
would feel II an eSpeClAl nOnOr " AoNS
old Bible class members, present
members and would-be members at

the work this year. My summer mas
been a delight and an inspiration. The
future looks bright and beautiful
Shall we not work and pray for more
Bible study for Kansas than ever be-
fore? AS a state, we stand second TO
none, in numbers enrolled in study
classes. Yours for Bible study,

RELIGIOUS THOUGHT.

Gems Cleaned From the Teachings
OF All Denominations.
It is far better to confess ignorance
than to pretend to the knowledge
which we do not possess.-Rev. DR..
Curtis Lee Laws, Baptist. Brooklyn.
Power for Good.
Who knows what a power for good
ing quickly when a good suggestion
comes to u?-Rev. Dr. S. Edward
Young, Presbyterian, Pittsburg.
Effect of Personality.
Every man carries his own atmos-
phere and gives it off. Every man
has his own ministry and power. You
cannot hide your Bishop
William Quayle. Methodist, Chicago.
A Truth of Great Value.
If the world owed nothing more to the
Bible than this one truth, that God is
our Father, 1t would outweigh in value
the literature of the ages.-Rev. Ju-
MUS B. Remensnyder, Lutheran, New
York.
A Harvest That Means Much.
The most important harvest is not in
Manitoba or Dakota or Illinois or any
of the outside fields. The tremendous
harvest is growing in your own nature.
Rev. DR.. s. Edward Young. Presby-
terrain, Pittsburg.
God the Playwright.
God reserves the right to compose
the play and to assign to the different
actors their parts in the drama of life
in which he is ever using men to show
forth his glory upon earth.-Rev. ]. S.
NJ. Lynch, Roman Catholic, Utica, NY.
Value OF Pain.
Pain is a great savior. Its warnings
keep from death, teach US how to pro-
long life. 1t is foolish to think we
shall ever conquer, overcome or learn
to live without pain. 1t is right to
avoid it, for that is the way of life
Rev. David Utter, Unitarian, Denver.
Influence of the Spirit of Life.
Everything depends upon the spirit
with which we think and live. We
must not serve Christ by rote. Our
prayer book must not become a prayer
wheel. We must not say our devotions
as they might be said by music box
Rev. H. c. Swentzel, Episcopalian,
Brooklyn.
Hope of the World.
The religion of spiritual perceptions
and spiritual fellowship, of spiritual
aspirations and spiritual joys. is the
hope of the world Without it no ma
ton can endure, for it alone gives to
the moral law the sufficient sanctions
" v Raymond, Presbyterian, Buffalo
The New and the DID, asr
No man will get far unless the is
fearless to fight for the new when he
is sure that the new is true, but nei-
Their will he get far unless also he be
reverent toward the old, unless he re-
ceives with gratitude the truth which
the old brings. The man who would
multiply his newly discovered and lus-
cious fruit must not ignore the tree
upon which he would graft it.-Rev.
c. Collier, Congregationalist. Bangor,
Maine.
Best Book and Best Friendship.
OF all books the Bible is the best, for
| it passes an iron into the blood and
/ gives vigor to the will. OF all friend
ships the sense of the companionshfp
of the Man of Nazareth is the most
| invigorating. The power and purity
