ence is taken from the story of the
Good Samaritan. Probably no two fig
ures have been more universally con-
demned than the priest and levite
who were content to pass by on the
other side, and nowhere has the con-
trast between indifference and real SYM
pathy been more clearly shown than in
the attitudes of the priest and levite
as compared with that of the
Samaritan.
Bile abound everywhere and in all
cation. All about men are in distress,
suffering physical pain. mental an
>guish or spiritual need. and those who
Come in contact with them divide
themselves into two classes those who
pass on the other side and the good
Samaritans.
The spiritual suffering and needs are
the last to arouse interest and SYM
pathy. and undoubtedly Indifference is
here based on ignorance. There is much
actual spiritual suffering that is never
rightly visualiZed, and SO not appre-
ciated, but though the crime of indif-
ference is against the sufferers we
know about. yet we cannot escape our
responsibility for all spiritual need and
suffering on the plea of ignorance. We
do know of the errors and fallacies of
superstitions, false beliefs and exotic
theories, we also know of the lack of
spiritual development in the individ-
ualS we come in contact with or inf1u-
ence, and we cannot escape our respon-
sibility to God for our Indifference to
their condition.

Search the Scriptures.

Search the Scriptures is a command
not exclusively given to the minister or
the Sunday school teached, but to
every one. 1t is a duty to hear the
word of God as proclaimed By His Or
dained ministers and evanRelists, 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 messengers to US.
1t is not only a duty, but great privi-
Iege to hear them.
Preaching Is Gods appointed way for
the instruction of the ignorant, for the
comfort 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 privilege of hearing the word
does not relieve the individual nearer
from the command personally to search
the Scriptures II is through the de-
vout personal study and meditation OF
the word that IL can be effectively put
into the life.
In every matter of Importance, order
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.
Tine reading should be attentive, Sc
rious. frequent, practical. faithful,
prayerful. humble and reverent
, Little is gained by any reading unless
the attention is firmly fixed on the sub
ject. Studi9us care and reflection are

Light and Delight.

Many passages which at first appear
obscure in meaning are made lumi-
nous when compared with other pas
sages whose meaning is plain ana
clear. Light and delight only come TO
those who read the Bible attentiVely.
1t should be read with great serious
ness of mind. Nothing that God has
to say can be frivolous. All His COM
ma ads. threatenings and promises are
serious. The holy Scriptures are Sc
-ious books. They deal with the
most serious concerns in all the world.
The Bible is not the book to read in
spirit of trifing gayety. Every
thing in 1t is Of the most serious
Importance.
Another rule for Bible study is fire.

IL Bible reading there must ever be-
of heart. BY putting aside
AL pride and superfuity of naughti-
the engrafted word which is able to
save our souls"
By following these rules for reading
the Old and New Testaments-namely
to read attentively, seriously, frequent
ly. practically. humbly and reverently,
with faith and prayer--we Will be able
to put the Bible into our lives.
The proof that the Bible is the word
of God 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 never man wrote.
The Bible treats of the most mo-
mentous subjects that can claim the
attention 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
condition of life land the great moral
of human existence; of sin and it's con-
sequences; of virtue and it's rewards.
and of the plan for mans redemption
from all evil.
These. and many kindred subjects
should attract the attention of all men,
and the sublime principles of morality
inculcated in the Bible should enter
into and govern the lives of all man.
kind.
Within this ample volume lies
The mystery Of mysteries:
Hnppiest they of human race
To whom their tod has given grace
To read to fear. TO hope. to pray.
To lift the latch, TO force the way:

Bible in the Heart.

How can one put the Bible into his
life?
Not by merely putting II into the
mind. Many are familiar with the
words Of Scripture who do not live
in accordance with its precepts
To get the Bible into ones life IL
must be put into the heart whence
comes the issue of life. But that does
not mean simply memorizing the
Scriptures.
one might know the Bible by heart
and yet not have il in the heart. But
one cannot have il in the heart with
out intimate knowledge of it's teach
inGs. Hence nemoriZing is of great
value as an aid IN gaining thorough
know edge. TO be a Christian at all
there must be Bible knowledge. and
to be ideal Christian there must be
thorough knowledge of its teachings.

Preached last sunday In the Church
Of the Covenant.
The text sounds a little strange in
these troubled days. when we spend
SO much time reading and discussing
the contradictory reports % a huge and
dreadful war. But it IS not 1ncon-
sistent. ON the contrary. it is precisely
suited to the times in which we live.
For it speaks of peace which is not
outward but inward. 1t is not touched
BY storm or conflict. 1t is unconquer-
able by any external power. 1t is a
peace which can survive all battles 1t
is strong. well prepared for resistance
in fact We may even call it a militant
pcace For the word which st. Paul
uses to describe it is taken from the
shall he the sentinel. the guard of
your hearts and minds.
Let us ask. what is the meaning of
this divine peace. the sentinel peace"
Evidently there are two possible ways
of reading the words They may refer
to a peace which is in God. and which
He enjoys. They may refer to peace
which comes from God and which He
sends to us. Which is the right in
depreciation? ! believe that both are
right. They belong together and can
not be separated. They are like the
light of the moon and the light of the
sun. Without the one the other could
no; be. Without an ultimate. Deep abid-
ing faith in the God of Peace. there is
no true peace for the heart of man.
l. Let US think first of the meaning
of this divine peace as it exists in God.
Evidently il is not an outward thing,
a tranquil environment calm of cir
cumstances This is very stormy and
troubled universe; no human monarch
ever had such a tempestuous realm.
The peace of the Divine Being must be
within Himself And SO it is. the Bible
assures us. a harmony of all perfec-
tons an eternal union of righteous
ness and power and knowledge and
love. each without limit. except its vital
relation to all the others-this is the
only conception of a being worthy to
be adored as God over all, blessed
forevermore.
A god of power alone is not god
but a superman. Might is right" fter
ali is the ultimate word of unconscious
atheism. Mere power is the most rest
less of all things, never satisfied, never
a peace.
a god of righteousness alone, with
OUT strength to support it. is an ethical
