Shall rayon be soaked or scrubbed? The question Is often asked, "How can you got the dirt and soil out of rayon If you duii't soak or scrub it?" Wlilti' rayou may be soaked, but col- ored ones are likely to become streak- ed or amudged If soaked even for a ehort time.

THK PKAISE OF THE SCBIPTUBES, Psahn 19: 7-14. IL THK PKOtrrABLKNESS OF 8CRIPTVKK, 2 Timothy 3: 14-17. I.NTROULCTION^It is difficult for U3 in this land and age of liberty to realize the privilege which is ours i i having an open Bible in our own tongue. .The DM Testament was written originally in Hebrew, and th« New Testament in Greek, and for m long time it. was a sealed book to the commo npeople. It was • only after many a struggle and many a labor that men were able t<J get the Bible translated into English. We believe that in these two parts of Scripture, which go together, we have a faithful account of the gradual unfolding of the mind and purpose of God. We see how Christ is prefigured in the pro- phecies more and more clearly till at last he comes as the word of God in the flesh. We should therefore, learn to prize this book Auguatine said. "Scripture is a long letter sent to us from our beavenly home." L THE PRAISE OK THE SCKIPTURBB. Psalm 19: 7-14. V's. 7-9. The writer of this P.<talm had a very small Bible, only tht Law, but he is so full of piaise of this that he puts us to shame when we rem- ember how grcatlv enriched our BiWe is. There are three featurec to be noticed in these verses: 1. Each verse speaks cf the law under a new name, by which the writer calls attention to the many- sidedness of God's word. We should read Psalm W9 to see this same fea- ture carried still farther. 2. Each verse selects out one particular qual- ity cf the law, such as perfection, re- liability, righteousness, purity, clean- ness, truthfulness. 3. Each verse points out some result whic*- fellows from the jtudy of the law. He im- parts restoration, wisdom, joy, clear- ness of vision, patience. No wonder he praises such a book! V. 10. And he is, therefore, amply justified when he goes on to speak of its value in the highest terms; it is more valuable than fine gold, its mes- sage brings more sweetness than honey. Vs. 11-1.3. The result of Bible study is that it drives the mind in upon itfelf and reveals the real nature of the heart. Tho dark places now be- come more manifest, and secret faults begin to show themselves. All of ihis impels the reader to pray to God for cleansing; and we have in v. 14 the verj- fine example of a prayer such as n sincere reader of CkkI's word would have to make. II. THE PROFITABLENESS OK SCRIPTURE. 2 Timothy 3: 14-17. y. 14. This IS one of the Pastoral Epistles, so called because they deal with tlie different problems which arise in the life of a minister or pas- tor. -Ajnong these duties an import- ant place must be Hssigi.ed to the right use of the Bible, which is the authority for our knowledge of the way of .liilvation. It contains a reve- lation of the mind of God. The true pastor, therefore, must rest his in- struction on the book. Paul warns Timothy that he will meet with many kinds of evil, but if he is sure of his scriptural knowledge, there will bo no danger of his failure. He reminds Timothy that he has been brought up in this way. Those here referred to are his mother and ffrandmother, see chap. 1: n. V. 15. The Holy Scriptures are tho iKioks of the Gld 'Testament, for as 3fet the New Testament had not been in- cluded in the sacred list. The Chris- tians made much use of the Old Testa- ment, and read certain passages in their services. Paul often quotes the Law and the Prophets, and draws many lessons from these scriptures. .-Vt a lat<"r time the word scripture was applied to the New Testament, and now ".scriptures" means our Bible. The .Tews were taught to study- the scriptures from an early age. The regulation was that a child should be- gin to loam the law by heart when li\ • years old. Paul .says that theae scripture*! make men wise unto sal- vation, by which he may mean that they predict the coming of Christ, and prepare the way for the jjospel to be preache<l. Jesus also had said that the scriptures testiiied of himself. But Paul is careful to add that it is not the mere reading that .«!aves. 'The book is not a fetish. It is faith which is quickened by the reading of the Bible. The .scriptures bring us to Christ who saves. v. 1C>. The.se -scripturovs are here said to be- inspin-d. that is, thep are ; filled with the spirit of God. and be- conu' the living oracles of God. Pee .Arts 7: ."i^. We may compare the swords of 2 Peter 1: 21, "Holy men of Ciod spake as they wt-re moved by the Holy Ghost." Paul is thus certain .that the truths ot the Old Testament are not mere human wisdom, but they are the e.\pression. of the mind and V. ill of God. The church has always accepte<l this positioti for the New and Old alike. This passage has been summed up in the following words, ''the Holy Scripture teaches the ignor- ant, convicts the evil and prejudiced, corrects the fallen and erring, and trains in righteousness all men." V. 17. The .-itudy of tho Bible 1.; ings such rich results, that if on«> has a well-dispo.sed mind he will be (•V strengthened by these inspired vTords, that he will l>e made perfectly fit to undertake all kinds of Christian woi;k. •♦- - Tb" w riling of history Is now ra- tiarded as genteel employment for 'i* man ot comfaitable means who has retired from 1 ••Incss.- Philip Cued- alia. â- i II : ^mm MMwaiib â- ^iMMMlMM jIL
