Notwithstanding the rain last
night just before church time, there
assembled a very large audience at
llie CI||I?UH1I?TOSCTBIEIe-BH?EISI H
Second street. Evangelist Organ
spoke on "How to Read and How to
Study the Bible." He said we should
read the Bible slowly, carefully and
prayerfully. The Bible is a book of
order. It tells of at least three dispensations
of religion, the Patriarchal,
the Jewish and the Christian. Wo
are under the Christian age. The
Old Testament contains the Jewish
scriptures; the New Testament contains
thw-Ohrigtian scriptures;- In our
reading of the Bible we must recognise
these divisions, if we would understand
It. The flrst four books of
the N. T. tells as of Christ. The Acta
tells us of the early church.and aa- 13
were the question, "What must I do
to be saved?" The letters of the New
Testament tell Christians how-to live
ss 6uch. The last book tells us of
our Heavenly home. We should' also
read the Bible as a letter from home.
For it tells us of the Home people,
the Home coming and onr Father's
House!
The music was especially fine last
night. The Organ Chimes made ?
decided impression last night. The*
chorus was faithful and in place last
