The Christians Sacred Book is a descriptive statement of the Bible. In fact, it is a library consisting of sixty^six books, divided into the Old and New Testaments. “How We Got Our PjiglisK Bible..” by Pajttersocy., Smyth answers many questions in the mind of every investigator. Be yond all human source this Book comes from God. Rev. F. B. Meyer, D.D.j says, “Inspiration consists in the divine quality that inheres in the Bible.” It is certainly different and superior to every other book and is well called the Book of books. On^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 character it creates,” and William E. Gladstone declared, “The Sunday School is the world’s greatest insti tution for popularizing the world’s greatest Book.”- Kcad this Book through, and do so as often as possible. Then commit many chosen passages to memory. One of these will be the rtinctccnth Psalm, from which the first Scripture 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 in all literature, both modern and ancient. A very simple and yet most comprehensive statement's “Sin will keep you from this Book: gg This Book will keep you from sin.” Study carefully each of the following selected portions that are a part of this lesson. Deuteronomy 6:4-9; Joshua 1:8, 9; 2 Kings 22:8-20!; Nehemiah 8:1-8; Psalm 19:7-14; Luke 24:25-32; Acts 17:10-12; 2 Timothy 3:14-17. , ■ Thc first reference indicates a portion that the Hebrew places in his mezuzah and pyhlactery. This Word has a place on his doorpost and it is taught to his children. The Jew has made an incalculable contribution in giving this Book to the world. Well does the Psalmist say “The law of Jehovah is perfect, restoring the soul.” The Word was indeed lent and its jprccepts were to be accepted and (jbeyed, for they arc "right” (Psalm 19:7-8. Take the other descriptions m that Psalm—“pure, clean, true and righteous altogethcr. ,, As is stated in Psahn 119 AOS “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 l>ecn instructed from his youth. Thereby "the man of God may be complete, furnished completely unto every good work.” Flapper Fannie says:— “Face powder may catch a man, but it takes baking powder to hold him.” Dr.Trank Crane Says THE ART OF PLEASING Now that we are learning to do all sorts of things it might be well to devote a little attention to that most important art of all arts, the Art of Pleasing. It is an Art and not a Science. A Science you may learn out of a book. An Art takes practice. It is not a sin or moral something we are talking about, but just common sense and expediency. You want people to please you; then learn how to please them. Permit, therefore, a few hunches for inquiring minds on this matter. ^ 1. Beware of egotism. In some form or other, that is what we dislike about everybody. Do not praise yourself, nor dispraise yourself, nor, in fact, talk of yourself at all. Habitual dispraise is a common form of disagreeable egotism. 2. Do not be tragic. Have a sense of humor. Most things do not matter. Nine things out of ten that are threatening disappear when you laugh at them. It is very disheartening to live with one who is perpetually tragic. 3. Cultivate a pleasant voice. Do not talk,too loud, nor mumble so one cannot hear you, nor slur your words. 4. Be neat. Clothe yourself as well as you can afford. Do not have dark fingernails, frayed cuffs, towsled hair, nor un clean shoes. Keeping clean is not egotism, it is a due regard for other people’s feelings. Clean your teeth. Beware of halitosis. — 5. Write plainly, one letter at a time with comfortable spaces between. 6. Do not be argumentative. Why argue? Most things do not matter. 7. Observe the little politenesses. Say, “I thank you M and “If you please.” Get up when a lady enters the room. Take off your hat when you meet a woman. 8. When you are slandered or abused, say nothing, as a rule. People can respond to anything you say, but it’s hard to answer silence.
