W. c. T. U. NOTES

Perhaps some who read the notes
last week did not take time to hunt
the Bible reference, SO give it here
Deut. 9Th chapter.
Fathers and mothers, do you love
the Bible, and do you enjoy teaching
it to your children?.
l would like for every novel read
er to seriously examine themselves
and see if they ever really want tC
read Gods word; or do you really en-
joy the novel and read it by the hour,
and then give little time to the readi
ing Of Gods word, because you know
you ought to read it? Try giving the
Bible reading the time you now spend
with the novel, and see how much
more Bible knowledge you get.
We can find sin, sorrow and suf-
fering going on in our midst which
we might help make better by giving
to the neglected the time we spend
reading about it in books.
Does it pay to try to help some one
know God? Are we our brothers
keeper? Is it worth while for bus
mess man or woman to stop to memo
rize scripture?
The following clipping shows one,
perhaps among many, instances where
the Gtdepns' are doing good by pisc
ing Bibles in hotels, also the protec-
ton a man receives by stopping to
memorize Gods word:
My Refuge and My Fortress.
by Robert Cashman.)
II was waiting half an hour in my
hotel in St. Louis before going to the
train. I saw a Gideon Bible on the
table, and turned to the ninety-first
Psalm. 1t was so beautiful to me
that l read it again, and then in the
time at my disposal, | memorized the
first three verses,
at was a pleasant evening, and J
walked to the station with my bag
about mile had gone perhaps two
blocks when I was joined by a stran-
ger, large man weighing nearly 200
pounds. He seemed to be bound for
no particular place, and | felt just
little uncomfortable as to what he
might want His first proposition was
an insult; he evidently wanted to gel
me off the street. | answered as best
| could, and continued on my way.
He followed me.
A considerable load of anxiety fell
from my shoulders as reached the
station, and was in sight of one of
the depot guards. I still had a few
minutes at my disposal, and then ]
turned to the man, and talked with
him aggressively about the things
worth while for men in these days of
unlimited opportunity.
FINALLY it was time to board my
train, and he said: DO you know, ]
was going to rob you tonight, but ]
just couldn't do it. | stood on the
back platform in deep meditation, and
the voice of God seemed to be speak
ing to me in the words that | had
memorized: /
He that dweleth in the secret
place of the Most High
"'Shall abide under the shadow of
the Almighty.
"I will say of the Lord, He is my
refuge and my fortress;
"'My God, in whom trust
For He shall deliver thee from
the snare of the fowler,
"'And from the noisome pesti-
lence."
Read John 5-39.
