INTRODUCTORY AND SUGGESTIVE.
The Editor of this paper sent a
request to the "Minister's Associa.
tion,,;this:
one column of the j)per, nd-to put -f
in ic suitable articUs for Sunday.!
reading. Af a recent meeting of the.brntat mardr," The last pugilistic
association the rrquest was f vorably
acted on and thispaper is the ube-
gining of the resulV of that action.
-Men and. women, and the young
folk?, who reai at all, trill read - oh
Sandaj; and some, because they
have mora time to reid on that da? '
than on the busier days of the
weec, oomt win jia the IJible,
wdion, perhaps, ttiey hare not touch-
tcrough; the six days, and so it
may become to them a Sunday book,
ust -s some people hve a Sunday ,
religion. Now Sunday Bible - rea -
mg ana ounaay religion are most;
excel lent things, bat to make tHem
do duty for the past six days to
come, one ot those intolerable
habi's that po enlightened Christian
conscience can appove. And cn
1
SundaX they may read iho Bible in
a pwfanctorj way, j use because it is
their dutT to rad if5 D(I when they
Uct through several chapters in some
hte, they do not ?ven stop to think
what they have really learned. In-
dae4, they did not read it with the
settled and solemn purp3:t of learn
ing apy thing, but just read it bev
cause they ought to on Sunday." " '
Now the Bible and Sunday sug-
ec8t hnrch and ehnrch Somgr and
nenca mr ioougnr uaiuraiij cumer,
tkaf. reading the Bible at home
on Sunday is xade a substitute for
going to . church. And sometimes,
when. the husband or wife, or sonie
of the oTder children are asked if
they are "going to church today"
blurt out the question:;
"what's th e use of going to
CHURCH?" "
I can re?.d moire- of the Bible at
home than I canhear atr church !"
Tfhile we m iy innocently admit that
he may, or caa, the question comes
like a ponderous reactive force that
kntcks his "care" injo iavisibili iy
does he learn more? As he reads
on, and on, do some inyis'ble hands
lift hm up to where strength is
found to aid him . in the coming
weak of struggle, and prepare him
for the victory of a profouader
faith ? ; Now let this man, if he
should. read this paper, try to get it
into his intellect in the' dearest
fashion, and into his conscience
with the profeundest conviction,
namely that there is no human
substitution for a divine institution
and tha church-going is one of this
last! .v
But " then." men and women read
something else besides the Bible on
Sunday. That book couldn't be
treated much worse, if it was but a
heterogenous mass of legends "and
lies They never read lit; t- even
on Sunday. : They read: instead,
Wwral litaratnra. the magazines of
