Christ-The Subject of All Scripture By REV. B. B. SUTCLIFFE Extension Department, Moody Bible Instituto, Chlougo. TEXT.-Search tho Serluturon ... 1 they are thoy which testify of mo.-John 6:39. The only absolutely truo history In I all tho world ls found within the pages of tho Bible, j Wherever Scrip- j turo touches his- !' tory, unlike the historians of the world, lt touches ' lt with a true band. The bis torlnns of the world are natural ly unable to look at history from nay but preju diced eyes. The very perfections of their national heroes, os record ed in their writ ings, leave us with thc impression that these were super men and almost Incapable of wrong doing. But we know that they were men of like passions with us, however unlike us they appear on the pages of the histories. But when tho Holy Spirit wrote history, though lt bo the history of a David. Ho told us all the truth, and tho man David stands be fore us as he really was. While the Bible contains the ouly whoUy reliable history In all tho world, Its object ls not merely to record history, but to set before the reader the person of Jesus Christ. The only true philosophy ls found recorded on the pages of the Bible. All thc philosophies of the world, unable to rise higher than their source, con bavo no fuller message than "Mau, know thyself." But because of inher ent inability, mau alone can never know himself nor come to the knowl edge which tells him whenco he came or whither he goes ; he continues on his way like a ship without rudder or pilot, knowing neither the port from whence ho sailed nor the harbor to which he is bound, und the reason for his being up on Ute sea of life at all romulus an un-, solved enigma to him. But the philosophy which comes from the Bible begins by saying, "Man, know God," and then graciously pro ceeds to reveal God to man. In that revelation man may know both the Qed who speaks and himself besides. But while the Bible contains the only pty*, philosophy in the world its object ls not to give man mero philosophy, but to bring to man the knowledge of God as revealed fully In the supreme subject of Scripture, Jesus Christ Again, tho only true moral code in the world is found within the Bible. Like the philosophies of tho world, the moral codes formed by man ribo no higher than himself, and huve in view I man's relation to man only ; they do ; not deal with man's relation to God. But the moral code of the Bible begins with man's relation to God, followed by man's relation to man. The flint and great commandment ls, "Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart," and the second ls like unto lt, "Thou Shalt love thy neighbor au thy self (Matt. 22:87-80). But while lt con tains the only complete morai code In the world, its subject Is not that mere ly, but ls Jesus Christ. Without Christ the Bible would never have been written. He Is the Key which unlocks all Its mysteries; the Light that reveals all its hidden ex cellencies. Tho Bible ls like the tem ple of which the Psulmlst says, "Every whit speaks of Ills glory" (Psalms 29 :?). Jesus said : "Ye search the Scriptures for In them ye think yo have eternal lifo, and they are they which testify of me" (John 6:89). "Had yo believed Moses ye would have believed me, for he wrote of me" (John 6:46). "And beginning at Moses and all the prophets He expounded unto them lu all the Scriptures the things con cerning Himself" (Luke 24:27). "All thlugs must be fulfilled which were written In thc luw of Moses and in tho prophets and In the Paulina cunccrnlng Me" (Luke 24:44). When "holy men of God wrote ns thoy were moved upon by I be Holy Spirit" (I Peter 1:21) they wrote of Jesus Christ. From thc beginning to the end of the Book, through the his tories and the prophecies, tho poetry and the Psalms, the one radiant object presented to our vlow In type, symbol, ceremony and prediction ls the Lord Jesus Christ. He is the supreme sub ject of all the Scriptures, and we rond our Bibles to little profit If we full to find Him there as wc study its pages. But finding Him, we will come to know tho truth that God would have us learn for our comfort and prollt, and for our growth lu gruco and spiritual power. As wo read tho Bible, depending upon thc Holy Spirit to biko of the things of Christ and show them unto us (John 10:14) we will como to know, in ever increasing bloaslng and delight, the Lord Jesus Christ as our Savior, Friend and Loni. As He ls the supreme subject of the Bible, to know Him should bo the supreme object of our Bible study. Do Not Understand. Men seem neither to understand tholr riches nor their strength.

Those who remember the article in this magazine a short time ugo tell lng of the cruelties connected with . the killing of dogs for food among the j Igorots, says Our Dumb Animals, will be glad to know tbnt lt has aroused sulllcleni Interest to cause the Munda Daily Bulletin to say, ac cording to a clipping we buve just re ceived : "The oillco of the Department of the Interior Is constantly receiving from persons lu the United Slates, mostly women, letters protesting ugalnst dog entlng In the mountain province among the Igorots, lt was declared by Secretary Kaluw of the department. All of them, he said, urge that in the Interests of civilization and better and higher mode of living, n law should be passed by thc Philippine legislature prohibiting the sale and the use of dogs ns food material. "Aside from the fact that the act of enting dogs ls highly undesirable, thc* letters state, It ls very inhumane. The Igorots, they state, like to cat lean dogs and that the more bony they are, the more palatable they taste to the Igorots. Consequently, ?whon a dog ls bought In the dog mar ket at Bugulo or at any other place, lt ls left to starve for many days be fore lt ls eaten, the communications declare.? "When asked if the passage of a law prohibiting the sale and the eat ing of dogs by the Igorots was in or der, Secretary Kaluw declared that lt might be done In an Indirect manner." SWORD WORTHY OF OWNER Blade Worn by Miles Standish Has Been Traced to the Tim? of the Crusades. Among the belles of the Pilgrims that may be seen when visitors throng the old town of Plymouth for the ter centenary observances few are more Interesting than the sword of Miles Standish. It may be seen in Pilgrim hall. It ls u Dumascus blade and presum ably came Into the possession of the Pilgrim captain from someone whoso ancestors had brought lt from the Crusades. lt bears several curious Inscriptions, which waited until June, 1881, to be translated.

He was only able to translate one, of a later period, In Arabic. The words given here show that its spirit was quite' appropriate to the spirit of the Pilgrims: "With peace Qod ruled his Slaves. And with the judgments of His arms He troubled the Mighty of the wicked." Rock Many Religious Associations.

Among the more im portant religious associations of this rock we may mention that lt was here that David and Solomon were called to repentance, and on account of a vision David chose this site for his temple. From this same spot Mohammed as cended to the Seventh Heaven after his night Journey from Mecca, and last ly lt ls to be the scene of the Great Judgment.
