In hia appreciation of j American public libraries, he sayS: I “I could do without banks. I could ' get along without bakeries. So. too, with shoe shops and clothing stores, I have nevtr owned an automobile; t hence I have not felt the neei of the repair shop. M.usic I might do with out; nature'is full of song. Painting and sculpture, also, though I should miss these things fearfully. "Net so wit^h books, for they are to the soul what bread is to my body. My own life span i.s short and narrow. Yet nothing but life matters to me. To learn about it, I must seek out the great interpreters — the poet,, the dramatist, the novelist. For their sens es are keener than mine. They have strained- their vision; they hayie laid their ear close up to the aching heart of humanity and listened long and breathlessly. They have seen and heard things unspeakable. And the goii« have lined their hands with a magic filament, the resuh^ being that everything they touch turns to beauty, even sordidness and ugly vulgarity. So I go tb them to get wis<^om and understanding, and beauty. Every rime I ani with them ray fellowship with humanity groWs more intuhate. “I enter the sanctuary where they •re foimd. A spirit of reverence de- ^nds upon me. Here they stand, the Immortals of the Ages in a holy si- leiKe. 'They do not’ call, to nie; they do not even beckon me. They stand waiting for me to come and get what they have to give. Had I nought else but thia sanctuary filled as it is with the'fruitage of the human mind, my would be ineatinuible.” ScfmiLessoe International Sunday School Lesson for February 3 THE HOLY SCRIPTURES Psalm 19:7-14; 2 Timothy 3:14-17 Rev. Samuel l>. Price, D. D. The Christian’s Sacred Rook is a de scriptive statement of the Bible In fact, it is a library consisting of sixty- six books, divided into the Old and New Testaments. "How Got Our English Bible,” by J. Patterson Smyth, cm^er-s man^r questions in the ^mind of every inve.stigator. Beyond all hu man source this Book comes from God. Rev. F. B. Meyer, D. D., says, “Inspir ation consists in the divine quality that inheres in the Bible,” It is cer tainly different and superior to every other book and is well called the Book of books. One cannot claim to be well educated who is not conversant with the general content thereof. Dr. Meyer also states, “The best argument for the Bible is the charaetjer it creates,” and William E. Gladstone declared, “The Sunday school is the world’s greatest institution for popularizing the world’s greatest Book.” Read this book though, and do so as often as possible. Then comirtit many chosen pas'-ages .to memory. One of these will be the nineteenth Psalm, from which the first Scrip ture portion is taken today. If you wish to note many "terms for the Scriptures read Psalm 119, where there is- some mention in each of the 176 verses. In spite of its age the Bible is still the best seller each year iq all, literature, both modem and ancient. A very simple and yet most comprehensive statement is “Sin will keep you from this Book: This Book will keep you from sin.” Study carefully each of the follow ing selected portions that are a part of this lesson. Deuteronomy .6:4-9; Joshua 1:8, 9; 2 Kings 22:8-20; Ne- hemiah 8:1-8; Psalnr 19:7-14; Luke 24:26-32; Acts 17:10-12; 2 Timothy 8:14-17. ' . The first reference indicates a por tion that the Hebreiy places in his mezuzah and pyhlactery. This Word has a place on his doorppst and it is taught to his children. The Jew hxm made an incalculable contributt<B» in giving this Book to the world. W*]! does the Psalmist say “The law of Jehovah is perfect, restoring the soul.” The Word was indeed law andi its jpre- cepts were to be accepted and obeyed, for they are '“right,” Psalm 19:7-8. Take the other descriptions in that Psalm—“pure, clean, true and righte ous altogether.” ' As is stated in Psalm 119:106: “Thy word is a lamp unto my feet, And light unto my path.” Paul in charging Timothy refers him to the “sacred writings” in which he had been instructed from his youth. Thereby “the man of God may be com plete, furnished completely unto every good work.”. > "EXCEPT THESE TWO" V*- “In agriculture, roost of our mechanifal devict* thus far have merely had the effect of enabling one man to culti vate more acne.
