Tha Great Wall of North China, or the walla about Peklag and Nanking, are not any more obsolute and inef- fective for purpoaea of defense la there modern, times thaa war* the mwly-buldt wall of Nehemlah to keep out the moat dangeroua foea of Jeru- salem. They might thwart. Sanbatlat, Toblah and Geahem. but they were un- availing against the aelflshneaa, pride, idolatry and godleasneaa of the wan- dering- hearts of the Jews The need of the returned Jewa was for the pro- tection that would save them from themselves. What says Amoi 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 assailing. Hla protection keepeth me." * The Jews who had returned from the 'Babylonian exile were In a capital po- sition to adopt an electric religion: and they had leaning that way. They were surrounded by an aasortment of creeds virtues. Most of the popular dlvinl- lag at the Church of the Aacenalon will ttea were easy-going, asking nothing j D# u follows- Billy Sunday campaign. It was not a one-man meeting; 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 an- ticipated 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 geog- raphy than was the case, so he was surprised when a friend said to him, "A man was telling me about your speech upon the possibilities of cotton in China" The speaker had not been careful to make hia hearera under- stand, which is aa truly the speakers responsibility as It to the listener's Moat pereona listen to the Bible with- out expecting to understand It aa they understand the newspaper. Their kaowledge of Mesopotamia Is as hasy as their knowledge of the Hlttites, or the lands of raul's journeys. A Sun- day 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 embar- rassed 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 riven a aevere Jolt by Bsra, who in thla great | lllble-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 unlntelllgently as the Scrip- tures. Philip's question to the Bthlo- piaa eunuch might well be repeated to many a Christian at his private devo- tions. "Understandeet thou what thou raadestr Often the Bible Is treated as a sort of charm or incantation, to he read because there If virtue In It. hut not because It Is understood. Some folk, following this good-luck method, open their Bible at random for their daily reeding, trusting to be guided thereby, thought it is usually the bookbinder and not the Spirit who determlaea tha lafjag at 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 read- er the sense of what he has read. Otherwise, on» might as well read last year's almanac, or a volume of cunei- form Inscriptions. Tae Speaker Wse Made a Hit. At a great Philadelphia convention a few years ago a professor In Haver* ford college read the Scripture lesson. I have forgotten even the namee of the distinguished speaker* of the eve- ning, but I have not forgotten how Rufua M. Jones read the thirteenth chapter of Corinthians, as if It were living literature, and as If be meant very word. That. I fancy, is the sort of reading of the Pentateuch which the multitude of Jews alongside of tha water gate heard that day so long ago. Small wonder that they wept aad 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 courss there was emotion. There to always emotion when hearts are deep- ly 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 coun- try's call la heard by patriots The stirring of the deep alwaya producea emotion, and the academic objection to emotion in connection with religion is little less than absurd. The lesson of this whole lesson to 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 an evangelist The entrance of the Word gives light and life and fortitude and conviction and lowliness 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 cele- bration of those who have the living Gospel as their light and their strength!

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!
