BIBLE IS LOST BOOK
PRECEPTS NEGLECTED
Says Dr.. Burnett in Sermon
at Presbyterian Church
Sunday.

Preaching from the text And Hill
kiah the priest said unto Shaphan
the scribe. l have found the book Of
the law in the house of Jehovah, -
Kings ,. 22:S, Rev. DR.. J. A. Burnett.
in the Presbyterian church Sunday
forenoon, said in part:
1T is a sad thing 10 lose the word
Of God; sad for the individual, for
society and for the nation. Such
loss is always followed by a condi-
ton of lawlessness and degeneracy.
This was the deplorable state of
affairs when Josiah came to the
throne of Judah. and one of the first
things he did was 10 revive the an
cient religion. The finding of the
law of God created a sensation and
the king was not slow - seize the
opportunity TO bring the people back
10 the old faith and life Evils had
crept into the national life; a great
burden of suffering and sorrow had
been laid upon the people because
they had lost their Bible To many
of US today the Bible is a lost book !;
its precepts are neglected, its power
70 comfort is unrealized. its princi-
Piles are neutralized.
THE Bible has lost it's influence
over our truer lives This does not
mean that we fail to read, and per-
haps study it, but that we do not
heed its teachings or follow its COM
mands. There is a superstitious re-
gard which only seals our hearts
against it. The condemnation of the
Jews was their orthodoxy while
spiritual Yerities were cast aside.
This is too often our attitude.
I'VE have lost the Bible in our
homes. 1t has not the place il once
had at the fireside In many of our
Christian homes the children are as
densely ignorant of the Scriptures as
if they lived in the wilds of Africa.
The book is there but its use is re-
served for state occasions; the rush
Of our insistent life crowds out all
thought of that which makes life
worth while.
The Bible is lost in its direction
of everyday life. There is not an
experience or relationship where its
teachings may not guide us. II is as
deep as mans greatest need, il is as
broad as the least detail of his life.
and yet we rarely consult il for the
determination of our actions.
The restoration Of life's glory viii
come when we find the Bible again
and follow its wisdom in all things.
