(Continued from Page 9.) { Bible . without expecting to under-| stand It as they understand the newspaper, Their knowledge of Mesopotamia is as hazy as knowledge of the Hittites, or the lands of Paul's journeys. A Sunday | school teacher who exhibited with | pride a map of Bible lands showing | Ur of the Chaldees as down in the | land of Edom was not very much | embarrassed when the mistake was | pointed out. The assumption is that all that pertains to the Bible is somewhat vague and conjectural. | One does not expect to comprehend | the Bible as he does a book of travels | or a history or a novel. | That state of mind was given a severe jolt by Ezra, who in this great Bible-reading assembly had the law read so that the record runs, "And they read in the book of the law dis- tinctly, and gave the sense, so that they understood the reading." No other book is read so unintelligently as the Scriptures. Philip's question to the Ethiopian eunuch might well be repeated to many a Christian at his private devotions, "Understand- est thou what thou readest?" Often the Bible is treated as a sort of charm or incantation, to be read because there is virtue in it, but not because. it is understood. Some folk, following this good-luck method, open their Bible at random for their daily reading, trusting to be guided thereby, though it is wusually the bookbinder and not the Spirit who determines the pages at which the volume will open most easily. The only Bible reading that is worth the time spent upon it is Bible reading which gives the reader the sense of what he has read. Otherwise, one might as well read last year's alma- nace, or a volume of cuneiform in- scriptions, The Speaker Who Made a Hit, At a great Philadelphia conyen- tion a few years ago a professor in Haverford College read the Scripture lesson, T have forgotten even the names of the distinguished speakers of the evening, but I have not for- gotten how Rufus M. Jones read the thirteenth chapter of Corinthians, as #f it were living literature, and as if it meant every word. That, I fancy, is the sort of reading of the Penta- teuch which the multitude of Jews alongside of the water gate heard that day so long ago. Small wonder that they wept and shouted "Amen!" and bowed them- selves to the earth in contrition, and listened for dear life for six short hours. No sermons are long when they are messages of life, from living men to living men. Emotions? Of course there was emotion. There is always emotion when the hearts are deeply stirred. There is emotion when a man tells a woman of his love. There is emotion over the birth of the first-born. There is emotion at the death-bed. There is emotion when a country's call is heard by patriots. The stirring of the deep always produces emotion, and the academic objection to emo- tion in connection with religion is little less than absurd. The lesson of this whole lesson is obvious. It is that the surest way to the most abiding religious revival is by the study of the word of God. Give the people the Book and they can do without any evangelist. The entrance of the Word gives light and life and fortitude and conviction and | lowliness and peace. The people who have come upon a revival of Bible- study have the best reason to be glad and grateful, as the Jews after the! festival of study of the law. They| celebrated because they had learned anew the Pentatuch; how much greater should be the celebration of | those who have the living Gospel as | their light and their strength! TO NATIONALIZE MEDICAL PROFESSION 80 That Nobody Will be Pre- vented From Obtaining the Best Attendance. London, Dec. 5.--Dr, Christopher Addison, Minister of Reconstruction, adcording to the Daily Express, has been - appointed Minister of Public Health, and hopes to carry a bill through Parliament before ~Chiist- mas forming a new Ministry to opers ate a scheme of "revolutionary char- acter," This scheme is said to aim at the nationalization of the medical profession, involving free medical attendance for everyone without any element of charge. Premier Lloyd George, the Ex- press adds, believes the time is ripe for a change, holding that nobody should be prevented or deterred from obtaining the best medical attend- ance on the score of cost or charity.
