What says A m o i R. Wells?—•

"Closer ts the Lord's protection than a near Investing wall;

Closer than a moat about me, oloaer than a tower tall;

Closer than a ault of armor, or my hands and feet can he;

For agalnat mine own assai l ing. Hla protection keepeth me."

* The J e w s who had returned from the

'Babylonian exi le were In a capital po­sit ion to adopt an electric re l ig ion: and they had leaning that way . They were surrounded by an aasortment of c r e e d s virtues. Most of the popular dlvinl- l ag at the Church of the Aacenalon will ttea were easy-going, a sk ing nothing j D # u follows-

Billy Sunday campaign. It w a s not a one-man meet ing; Bsra had with him a eorpe of assistants , Judiciously placed. He was after results, and not after a reputation for himaelf. The occasion waa a prepared one. aa an­ticipated oae; and aa enthuslaattc one. far the "set together" aplrlt had bold of the people.

•Aad Gave the » * . • • " A man was speaking upon the possi-

hilltiea of Mesopotamia's cotton crop, hut he took It for granted that his hearers were more familiar with g e o g -raphy than was the case, so he was surprised when a friend said to him, "A man was te l l ing me about your speech upon the possibil it ies of cotton in China" The speaker had not been careful to make hia hearera under­stand, which is aa truly the s p e a k e r s responsibility a s It to the listener's Moat pereona listen to the Bible wi th­out expecting to understand It aa they understand the newspaper. Their kaowledge of Mesopotamia Is a s hasy as their knowledge of the Hltt i tes , or the lands of raul's journeys. A Sun­day school teacher who exhibited with pride a map of Bible landa ahowlng Ur of the Chaldeea aa down In the land of Edom waa not y*ry much embar­rassed when the mistake waa pointed out. The aaaumptlon la that all that pertalne to tha Bible la somewhat vsgu and conjctural. One doea not expect to comprehend the ntble aa he doea a book of travela or a history or a novel.

That atate of mind waa r iven a aevere Jolt by Bsra, who in thla great | l l lble-readlng aaaembly had the law read ao that the record runs, "And they read In the book of the law dlatlnctly, and gave the sense, ao that they uo-deratood the reading." No other book Is read so unlntel l lgently a s the Scrip­tures. Philip's question to the Bthlo-piaa eunuch might wel l be repeated to many a Christian at his private devo­tions. "Understandeet thou w h a t thou r a a d e s t r

Often the Bible Is treated a s a sort of charm or incantation, to he read because there If virtue In It. hut not because It Is understood. Some folk, fol lowing this good-luck method, open

their Bible a t random for their dai ly reeding, t rus t ing to be guided thereby, thought it is usually the bookbinder and not the Spirit who determlaea tha lafjag a t which the volume will opea most easily. The only Bible reading that to worth the time spent upon It Is Bible reading which gives the read­er the sense of what he has read. Otherwise, on» might as well read l a s t year's almanac, or a volume of cunei ­form Inscriptions.

T a e Speaker W s e Made a H i t . At a great Philadelphia convention

a few years a g o a professor In Haver* ford col lege read the Scripture lesson. I have forgot ten even the namee of the dist inguished speaker* of the eve ­ning, but I have not forgotten how Rufua M. J o n e s read the thirteenth chapter of Corinthians, as if It were living l i terature, and a s If be meant very word. That. I fancy, is the sort of reading of the Pentateuch which the multitude of J e w s alongside of tha water gate heard that day so long ago .

Small wonder that they wept aad shouted "Amen!" and bowed t h e m ­selves to the earth In contrition, and listened for dear l ife for six short hours. No sermons are long w h e n they are messages of life, from l iv ing men to l iv ing men. Emotions? Of courss there w a s emotion. There to always emotion when hearts are deep­ly stirred. There is emotion w h e n a man tel ls a woman of his love. There is emotion over the birth of the first­born. There Is emotion at the dea th­bed. There is emotion when a coun­try's call la heard by patr iots The stirring of the deep alwaya producea emotion, and the academic objection to emotion in connection with rel igion is little less than absurd.

The lesson of this whole lesson to obvious. It Is that the surest w a y 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 an e v a n g e l i s t The entrance of the Word g ives l ight and life and fortitude and conviction and lowl ines s and peace. Tha people who have come upon a revival of Bible-study have the best reason to he glad and gateful , aa the Jewa after the featlval of atudy of the law. They celebrated because they had learned anew the Pentateuch; how much greater should be the ce le ­bration of those who have the l i v ing Gospel a s their l i ght and their strength!
