possible to make the bible eeem qui to u indispensable for personal equipment by giving it and repeatlng the gift as the need arises it la quite true that the bible must be read the leeaons and truths of this book are indis pensable for personal and national welfare where that conviction exlata the bible will be both read and studied christian morality and christian faith do not come by the instinct of nature any more than a knowledge of geometry or history tou make definite plana for your boys and glrla to study these and other subjects surely a time for the study of this best of all textbooks on christian truth should be made in every home if tho home refused to co operate with tbo school what chance would there be for an education t in the order of the home some reasonable place ahould be found for the regular moral and religious instruction which la the right of every child in a christian some families read the bible together every day at such time as is most convenient some parents direct their children at an early age to read one chapter each day or so many a week this method of quoting verses from selected parts of the bible excite a good deal of interest in the young and gives a varied acquaintance with the book borne fathers spend a good deal of each sunday telling their little children the stories of the bible the important thing is to bring the truths and lessons of thla book from day to day and week to week to the mind and heart of the members of tho family d memorize ut schpturea one way in which the h can contribute vitally to the religious nurture of the children is by encour aging the memo fixing of scripture passages no literature has the power to quicken tho wiu and awaken tho spiritual sense comparable to the bible for the word of god is quick and powerful and sharper than any twoedged sword piercing even to the dividing- asunder of soul and spirit joints and marrow and is a dls- cerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart for this reason every child should b familiar with tbo bible from babyhood if be la taught to joemoruo the nobler passages be will not only have his intelligence enriched and his literary taste cuiuvaled but be will gain a truer christian point of view than from any adults religious opinions that may be taught blm llhymns and oinqinq in the home next in importance is the membrlalns and singing of hymns if good hymns are committed to memory in youth they will expand in meaning as age and experience increase one of the artnest anchors of the soul is the hymn of childhood if only the noblest hymns are used the child will be vaeclnated against the in fluence of the cheap and immoral songs too often used because they aro lively it 1 a mistake to suppose they prefer these lighter songs in an
