S 9 Director of Bible Couim, Moody Bible laMihit. Y & Chicago ) TEXT-Jolin 6:39. I. Read through at one sitting the entire book you are studying. This task does not take as much time as one might imagine. Seven teen of the twenty seven books of the New Testa ment can be read carefully In less than half an hour each; five (Ro mans, i Corinthi ans, Hebrews, Revelation) In one hour each, and the historical books as follows: Matthew, two hours; Mark, one hour and a quarter; Luke, two hours and a quarter; John, one hour and three-quarters; Acta, two hours and a quarter. Without this continual reading It is Impossible to get the general thought of the book you are studying. In this general reading through of the book your purpose is not to ana lyze, nor la It even to get an outline, but to get an Impression; therefore, pay no attention to chapter marks. One is sometimes hindered In Bible study by stopping at the end of a chapter. For lnstanco, John 7 ends with the words: "And every man unto his own house;" chapter 8:1 reads: "Jesus went unto the mount of Ol ives." Now, suppose we end with the first clause, have we not stopped In the midst of a beautiful thought? The thought is this: That while every man had his own home to which to go, that while the foxes had holes and the birds of the air had nests, yet Jesus had no place to call bis own, so he went to the mount of Olives. To obvi ate the difficulty of which we are speaking It Is well to read the Revised Version. II. Read the book over and over again. In the second reading of tho book you will see things that you did not see clearly, If at all, In the first reading. What at first sight was dim and misty will, in the third or fourth reading, begin to assume clear and definite outline. A careful and repeated reading of tho gospel of Matthew, as here sug gested reveals the fact that it has a threefold division, each introduced by tho words, "From that time Jesus be gan." Reading up to 4:17 we come to a point which marks the first divi sion from the second: "From that time Jesus began to preach." These words are an indication of the outline of the book: (1) Jesus' perioa of prep aration, 1:4-16; (2) Jesus' period of evangolistlc effort, 4:17-16:21; (3) Je sus' period of passion, 16:21-28:20; Indicated by the words, "From that time forth began Jesus to show unto his disciples, how that ... he must suffer." This brief outline Is sufficient to Illustrate the great advantage of the continuous reading of the book un der study. III. Read the book prayerfully. Re member that the Bible is in a very real sense no ordinary book. It Is an extraordinary production; It Is a su pernatural work. The Spirit of God Inspired Its writers. The same power must illumine. Its readers if they are to understand Its meaning. We ought never to attempt the reading of God's Word without the prayer of David in our hearts: "Open thou mine eyes, that I may behold wondrous things out of thy law." (See I Cor. 2:9-16; Issa. 20: 10-12.) IV. Read the Book without the ubo of any helps. This does not mean that we aro to despise or lightly esteem all that God has said to the race through godly men. But we must allow the Bible to speak for itself. V. Suggestions for the study of the Eplutlo to the Epheslans: 1. Begin by reading the epistle through three times at one sitting, making no special effort to do any thing more than catch tho author's spirit and the drift of his argument. Read now for general impression only, 2. Read the book through the fourth timo carefully and thoughtfully for tho purpose of finding out and classifying questions of Introduction, such as, Who wrote the book? Why was it written? What was the character of the people to whom it was written? Have by your side as many sheets of paper as there are questions of in troduction. Write a headline on each sheet, viz: On sheet one The author; who wrote the book? Sheet two The persons addressed; to whom written? SlK-et three When written? Sheet our Why written? Now begin to read the text care fully, prayerfully and thoughtfully. Chapter 1, verse 1, gives us two points tho author of the book and the per sons addressed. Now write down on Sheet one, "Paul, 1:1;" and on Sheet two write "the saints which are at Ephesus, and the faithful in Christ Jesus, 1:1." Rend through the epistle with these questions In mind, and whenever an answer occurs write it down on its respective sheet, giving the words of tbe text and the exact reference. Unkind Comment Recently while going through a cem etery In a California town the visitor came upon this on a tombstone: "I would lot live alway."

' U. convention by Mrs. Frances E. Beau champ of Kentucky.) Why do wo have blind babies? We do not have blind calves, blind colts, blind pigs, and blind lambs. While the problem confronts us the statis tician steps up behind us and tells us that G8 per cent of all tho children that are born blind come into this world thus hampered because the grimy hand of the liquor trafllc, through the drink habit of the parents or grandparents lifted itself out of the past und projected itself Into the fu ture, and closed the eyes of tho chil dren before they were born. The sci entists tell us that so far as the blight upon future generations is con cerned, a man would better get hilari ously drunk now and then and stay sober the rest of the time, than to bo a constant, moderate drinker, contin ually taking into his system small quantities of alcohol. I ask you to estimate how many blind children we have in the United States, count the cost to the slate of maintaining its institutions for tho blind, and then put It down as part of the tribute we annually render to King Alcohol that he may go ou In his work of putting out the eyes of generations that are to come. Why should America have deaf chll dren? As you are pondering upon this problem the statistician again steps up behind you and says, as In the case of the blind, that about G8 out of every 100 (taking the average throughout the land) of all these chll dren who are born deaf, are the vic tims of this same great destroyer, the liquor traffic. If the lower animals were fed on alcohol, as Is the hlghor animal, they would have deaf colts, and deaf calves, and deaf pigs, and deaf lambs. Did you ever think what this means? What It means In eco nomic loss to the nation From 25 to 50 per cent of all the insane In this nation are victims of alcohol used sometimes on the pre scription of the physician; sometimes constantly In patent nostrums; often in moderate quantities, and frequent' ly to excess. Illinois, Indiana, Ohio, New York, Pennsylvania and Kentucky are the six great whisky producing states of thiB nation. Illinois, Indiana, Ohio, Pennsylvania, New York and Keu tucky have tho Inrgest percentage of Insanity of any of the states of this nation. Do you call that coincidence? I don't. I call it cause and effect. You can't trample God's laws under foot and go unwhlpped of Justice. Sometimes I get a good deal mixed up on the question of who the crlm lnals are. Often I am quite convinced that the poor fellow behind the bars is not half so bad as the man who walks down the street, prides himself on his strength, and uts Into tho box a ballot to enthrone in office men who ho knows will not enforce the law. I want you to go with mo to the prison for a little while at the time the men fall in line to march to their cells at night. If you have such a splendid Christian warden as we have in our Kentucky state reformatory and iu our state penitentiary, you can say to him, "Won't you call that line to a halt and order every man who came here for offenses committed when he was under the influence of alcoholic liquor, as shown by the evi dence adduced in the triul, to step out of that line over here." If you are not up on statistics you will be amazed at the results, if you were In Kentucky Eli out of every 100 of these men, according to the decisions of the courts, would step out and form a new line. If you were la New York according to the decisions of the courts, 92 out of every 100 would stpp forward. I ask you, which is more of a criminal, the man who votes to establish an institution to make crlm lnals, or the poor fellow, who with muddled brain commits some offense for which he is sentenced to the peni tentiary? "WOMEN MUST BE WON OVER!" In a three-page Illustrated artlclo, the Brewers' Journal recently urged the "trade" to puRh the homo consump tion of beer. "Newspaper advertising for beer," it said, "should bo doslgned to attract and appeul to women bb well as to men, for If beer is to be used In the home women must be won over to it." Tho temperance forces, particularly the VV. C. T. V., will meet this move on tho part of the brewery Interests by bringing to tho women of the country the truth concerning tho results of beer drinking upon them selves and upon their children. They will with more energy than ever con tinue to enlighten the homemakers and tho homekeepers of America us to tho nature and effects of the homo destroyer which is In beer us well as in the stronger drinks. HEAVENLY CONDITIONS. A country clergyman !u Russia, writing of the Improved conditions in that country under prohibition, says: "The old women in tho villages can hardly believe their own eyes and ears, so changed are their men folk.

This was the period of Israel's transition from a nomadic to an ag ricultural life. The record we have Is an alternate succession of Idolatry and subjugation with a return to Je hovah and to liberty. I. "Gideon and All the People," vv. 1-8. Rallying about him his clanBmen Gideon chose a position at the spring nf Ilnrnd near Jezreel. his back to Mt. Gllboa and tho Midlanites to the north next to Mt. Moreh. He thus con trnllPrt thn fords of the Jordan and could prevent the enemy from return- In to their homes n tne desert coun try. Outwardly the great discrepancy of numbers made the situation look dubious for Israel, but In reality the danger was that the army was too large, since when the victory was gained they might "vaunt themselves, individuals and churches usually count their strength according to num bers. (See II Cor. 12:9.) If we desire God's strenRtb it must be as we our selves are weak (Isa. 40:29). God Ib sometimes limited by having too many unri not enouch of the right sort. When God delivers he leaves no room for boasting (Eph. 2:8, 9; Rom. 3:27). r.nri ran save as well by the few as by the many (I Samuel 14:6), and fre- -1 quently uses tne wean ana uespiseu rhinc to confound the mighty (I Cor. 1:27, 28), that "no flesh should glory In his presence" (1 Cor. 1:29). These were two tests whereby Oiaeon wai his warriors: (1) "Go to tirnrlnim . . . whosoever Is fearful . . . let him return" (v. 8). It is not well to criticize too severely the 22,000 who returned; even in tno uar rir-n not onlv Peter, but all the disci pies forsook the Master and fled. God does not choose men because they are bprnps hut to make heroes of them by the power of his might. (2) There la vpt Another sift ng. Ood gives uia eon the clre (v. 4), viz., to decide by hi.ir method of drinking. Those who drank "as a dog lappeth," were those not to be taken off guard even while drinking. II, Gideon's Second Assurance, vv 9.15. It was absurd, humanly speak ing, for 300 men to expect to defeat 1S5.000. God "strengthened" Gideon (v. 11). Gideon and Phurah, at Gods rnmmand. entered the valley and drew near the Midlanite host. Avoiding the guard, if any, they drew near enough to hear a man telling his dream to "his follow." The latter Interprets this as nothing else than the "sword of Gideon" (v. 14). Gideon worshiped God and at once returned to arouse the camp of Israel. III. The Sword of the Lord and of Gideon, vv. 16-23. In all probability these men wore their usual weapons as soldiers and carried food for their use In pursuing the enemy. However, for this midnight attack they needed only three weapons, lamps, pitchers and trumpets. Each of these have a spiritual suggestion for the Christian. (See Matt. 25:4; Ps. 119:105; also It rnr 4:6. 7. and Ezek. 33:3. 6: I. Cor. 14:8.) Gideon's stratacem of dividing his men into three companies and then as the pitchers are broken to blow the trumpet caused a lively panic Atnnne tho Mldianltes. That Gideon had faith and courage in himself, and In tho word of Jehovah, is suggested in nls words, "Look on me and do likewise." We are to look to tho cap tii i ii nf our salvation" (lleb. 13:2) and by our lives of obedience prove the rfiivntion of our life (Jonn 15:14, 11:21). As already suggested, there were nrobably no defenses surrouna Ing the enemy and In the darkness C.ldfon and his men easily approached tim rnnin It is easv to imaclne the scene the midnight hour, the army suddenly awakened by a deafening shout, the blasts of trumpets, the 300 torches flashing forth amid the crash of earthenware, and all of this in dense darkness. The Midlanites in the confusion turned their weapons agulnst each otner and lied towaro the Jordan and into the regions be vnnd toward the desert, "'hers fol lowed by the ten thousand, 1. ng to ward Succoth and Penuel. Ae of tills day have our wars and battles against tho wrongs, the principalities and powers of evil, which are around us and within us. Such battles re- auire the same courage, and skill, and consecration of ourselves, as did 'the wars of those ancients against the enemies that threatened tno very ev istence of the people of God. God's work In this world Is often done by a few persons who have had a vision of him. who have grown In character and devotion, nnd who use the simple weapons of lumps, pitchers and trumpets, even as that small com pany of one hundred and twenty on tho duy of Pentecost, filled with the Spirit of God, led the forces hich ultimately overthrew Invincible Rome The reformation under Luther, the work of the Puritans.

TO SECURE SOUND SLUMBER Conditions Must Be Right, Especially to Man Who Must Quiet Ac tivity of Brain, Many men and women, especially thohe past their first youth, find dllll culty lu procuring the Bound, restful sleep so necessary to keep mind and body fit. Although, physically, the body is tired out, the bruin is as alert as ever, and perfect oblivion Is Impos sible. A well-known physician gives some interesting advice on the matter. "Insomnia," he states, "Is one of the penalties of the increasing stroln modern life throws upon our brains. The mnn who works with his muscles and lives In the open air Is rarely a victim of sleeplessness. The essentials for a good night's rest are nientul repose, a requisite amount of muscular fatigue, comfort ahel body heat and plenty of ventila tion. 'The most difficult t$ secure lit les sened bruin activity. An excellent plan Is to take a brisk half-hour's walk JiiBt before bedtime, followed by a hot bath and a rub-down, and then a cupful of warm milk and a biscuit or two as one gets Into lied.

"The type in which the sleeper sud denly awakes un hour or bo after hav ing fallen asleep usiiully means that more out door muscular exercise Is re quired." The Value of Enemies.
