To gain a knowledge Of Christ it is
necessary to read and study the testi-
mony that is given concerning Him, and
that testimony is found only in the Bible
The Christians Bible study is, there
fore, not merely an important, but an alb
solutely essential part of his life
He cannot know Christ without being
familiar with the record of Christs life
and teachings, and not knowing Him is
not being a Christian.
This is such an obvious statement that
it would seem scarcely worth while to
make it, yet there are many protesting
Christians who take their Impressions of
Bible teachings from hearsay and give
no time to personal investigation and
meditation upon the divine word. All they
know is gathered from an occasional in
depreciation from the lips of the minister
or the Bible teacher and frequently very
casual attention is given to these valuable
ministries. This is not the way to reach
the fullness of the stature of the ideal
Christian.

Preaching the Word.

Search the Scriptures is command
not exclusively given to the minister or
the Sunday school teacher, but to every
one. 1t is a duty to hear the word of
God as proclaimed by His ordained min
listers. for He has commanded holy men
to preach the gospel to every creature.
In the command to preach is implied the
duty of hearing. AS God sends His mes
sengers to us it is not only duty but
high privilege to hear them.
1t is His appointed way for the in
struction of the ignorant. for the COM
fort of mourners. for the warning of the
careless, for the edification of believers
and for the honoring of His holy name
before the people. But this duty and
high privilege of hearing the word does
not relieve the individual nearer from
the command personally to search the

God written for our admonition and for

The great value of Bible study depends
upon the truth of it's inspiration. AS the
word of God it commends itself to our
most special examination. If we believe
that God is its author we can have no eX-
cuse for failure diligently to study its
meaning. 1t should command our closest
attention: every word should be examined
with studious care, for God would not
speak except on matters of infinite i'm

Power and Efficacy.

ROVER ana Educdcy.
The proof that the Bible is inspired
is found in the supernatural power and
efficacy of it's teachings.
AS it is said of Christ, that HE spoke
as never man spake," so of the Scrip
lures it can be said that it's writings
are such as never man wrote.
The Bible treats of the most momen-
tous subjects that can claim the atten-
ton of mankind; Of the kingdom of
good and the kingdom of evil: of the
character of God as revealed in the
wonders of creation and in the mani
festations of infinite power and bound
less love; of the temporal and spiritual
conditions of life and the great moral
OF human existence: of sin and its con-
sequences. of virtue and its rewards,
and of the plan for mans redemption
from all evil.
These and many kindred subjects
should attract the attention of all men.
Why is the Bible not more generally
read and studied? The reason is found
in the perversity of human nature. the
prOneness to put aside the things
which are unseen and eternal.
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1913-05-31
System and Order.

In every matter of importance, or
der and system are the surest means
of success. An understanding of Gods
message is of greater moment than
any other business or concern Of life
There are rules for Bible study as
there are for every other undertaking.
The reading should be attentive
serious, frequent, practical. faithful.
prayerful, humble and reverent.
Little is gained by any reading un-
less the attention is firmly fixed on the
subject matter StudiOus care. and re-
Election is the prerequisite for growth
in knowledge and understanding. Pro-
ficiency is not measured by the num-
Der of pages read. but by the absorb
ton of what is read. Examine and
compare one passage with another
that the whole may be illumined
Many passages that at first appear
obscure in meaning are made luminous
when compared with other passages
whose meaning is plain and clear. Such
light and delight only come to him
who reads Gods word attentively.
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1913-05-31
The Careless and Thoughtless.

The Scriptures are so thoroughly i'm
bued with spiritual and religious
thoughts that they do not attract the
careless and thoughtless. They are Of
fensive to the carnal mind, they dis
turb the spirit of worldliness, they In
terfere with the tendencies to sinful
pleasures; but these are the very rea-
son why the Christian should find his
greatest delight in the study of the
word.
How should he study? Not casually
or carelessly: he should pursue a judi
cious plan. Begin at the beginning as
in reading other books not at the end
or the middle. Gods message is not
all contained in John and the Psalms
Search every part of the Scriptures
Study the books regularly.
The greatest good is not found by
reading here and there a chapter or
here and there a verse. There is
great design in the whole which can
only be fully disclosed by a regular
and systematic search. Reading from
the beginning to the end In regular
order Of the sacred books is the wisest
plan in gaining comprehension Of the
purpose Of the author of this divine
revelation
