Bible Neglected
In these modern times the Bible
is sadly neglected. Novels and Sun
day papers have taken its place.
In the days past and gone the BIZ
BILE was the most hOnored book in
any household, and could be found
occupying a place of prominence.
It's worn edges showed that it was
in daily use. In some modern homes
if there is a Bible, it is hidden away
and never in use any more.
We wish to call the attention of
the people to some of the sayings
of the Master and they are taken
from His sermon on the Mount and
should be read and pondered over
as it means much to those who pro-
fess to believe in those truths which
the Bible unfold. st. Matthew, fifth
chapter: And He opened His mouth
and taught them saying:
Blessed are the poor in spirit for
theirs is the Kingdom of Heaven;
blessed are they that mourn, for
they shall be comfOrted.
Blessed are the meek; for they
shall inherit the earth.
Blessed are they which do hung
er and thirst after righteousness;
for they shall be filled.
Blessed are the merciful; for they
shall receive mercy.
Blessed are the pure in heart; for
they shall see God.
Blessed are the peacemakers; for
they shall be called the children OF
God.
Blessed are they which are perse-
cuted for righteousness sake; for
theirs is the Kingdom of Heaven.
Blessed are ye, when men shall
revile you, and persecute you, and
shall say all manner of evil against |
you falsely, for My sake.
Rejoice and be exceeding glad for
great is your reward in heaven, for |
so prosecuted they the prophets,
which were before you.
These eight Beatitudes mark for
us what should be our course in
ourselves while sojourn-
ing here.
Church School
Fifty-one teachers and scholars
were present last Sunday morning.
This is a better showing than has
been had for several Sabbaths. Per-
haps after the warm weather is ov-
er and people get tired of going to
pleasure resorts they will turn their
attention more to attending church
and church school.
Some of the lessons studied each
Sunday morning are very interest
ing and those who desire to know
more about what the Bible contains,
the old scriptures, should
be present every Sunday and study
he lessons for the present quarter.
The study of the Ten Command
nents which God gave to Moses on
Mt. Sinai is we'll worth the time it
will take to dissect them. These
commandments were given to Moses
or an express purpose, and were to
guide the Children of Israel in their
'uture lives. Not only this, God in
ended that the people that should
come after them should be guided
)y the same code. Looking at the
world today it would seem that the
people have forgotten that these
commandments were TO rtheir use
md guidance-but let us hope that
he people will come to their right
enses and obey the law which God
las laid down in their behalf.
The title of the lesson for last
sunday was Becoming Aware of
iod:' The Israelites were a rebeli-
,us people though they had been
,assing through deep waters; yet
hey survived. They were never sat
SIZED, as soon as Moses was gone up
o the top of the mountain to COM
nune with God they at once COM
lenced to worship a molten calf
yhich they had made. God loved the
