Bible-Quoting is all the more effec-
tive nowadays, as an influence IN lite
erature or oratory-at least when 1t is
pat and clever-for the fact that fewer
people know the book than formerly. Ia
spite of the Sunday schools and the In
ternational Lessons, familiarity with
the Bible is becoming rarer.
Boys and girls go to Sunday school
all through their childhood and soma
how come out of it unable To quote
line from the Bible. And get they are
sufficiently familiar with it to be able
to feel the. force of u quotation or an
illustration, and the rare individual
who knows his way through the pages
Of the book can easily catch their SYM
pathy.
Why should almost universal insrrue-
ton in the Bible result in a genera
ton that does not know the book? Why
should rote lessons on Hamlet and
"The Tempest" make the same genera
ton hate Shakespeare? Why does
everything that is required TO 20 mat,
one ear and out at the other? Why
are the set words of the wise as odious
goads as nails fastened by the masters
of assemblies. while bread eaten In
