To Read the Bible

that it is well for their children to
! know the Bible let me repeat the pre-
scription; read three chapters each
weekday, five chapters each Sunday,
and the whole Bible will be read
through in one year, allowing two
days for the flu. If this seems too
huge a task, let me remind them that
our distinguished American poet, Anna
Hampstead Branch, recently read ev-
cry word in the Bible in few days.
To all mature students who are in
terested in the origin of the early
chapters of the Bible am glad to re-
