SAicIrt iA , .J i'J A' lbl ' ' Studying .the Bible By REV. B. B. SUTCLIFFE Biteios txpwtmut, Montr Bibls lmuwu,Cbkia. NEWS OFTHE J rwnprurc 4" S 4 $'$' K KAKLY WAY HHOM'S. , TEXT-Sirch the 8criiiturw.-John 6:39, AU Christinas should give same time to tho study of the Illble and If our study Is to be Jt ,.f profitable a eer tain preparation Is necessary." ' This , prepara tion consists first of a . heart' de termination " to read - the Book. This Is a funda mental ' luw of HI bio study, so simple Ylmt it is sometimes set aside, to our great loss. There is no way of under standing the Book except as we reud It and reread It "and reread It; It re quires a. heart determination to do that, for pur threefold enemy will rise , up and say "no" wheu we at- tempt to read the Book. The world will say "Yon nro too busy" or you will think "There are too many Important things requiring my time to use it reading the Bible.", Many look to Uie preacher to give them their spiritual food. Tho Lord, docs give his people pastors but the pastor's study can never take the place of one's own Individual study, j The world will do what It can to op pose the reading of .the -Book. The world has a subtle ability to nil our lives so full of seemingly Important things, will bring so inuny crowding opportunities for the use of our time that we need a heart determination to make time for Bible reading. The flesh will also oppose it. We become so tired physically. It Is a remarkuble thing that one can ell down with an interesting book and be come so absorbed In It as to read far into the night and not feel sleepy, fv Hut how quickly the flesh wants, to sleep and how the head nods when we would read tlio Bible for an hour or two In tho evening, ... The devil also will hinder if he can. He will suggest the difficulty of understanding what we read, will say the Bible Is a closed hook to our minds and do all he can to bring dis couragement. Bvt if we are to come to an understanding of the truth mid keep our souls strong and henlthycwe must rend und reread the Book itself. Not books about the Bible, nor ex positions by man, but the Bible Itself. In the second place, we inusf have n heart determination to allow the Book to mean what it says. We must permit it to define Its own terms. We must muke it explain itself. I will answer questions concerning the words and terms it uses. We go to tho Bible unconsciously prejudiced. We think wc know the truth and naturally sup pose what the Bible says ought to agree with our thought. If .it does . not agree we are In danger of forc ing Into it our own ideas rather than lot It mean what It says. Wo come tc it too often for continuation instead; CHURCH OF OUU LADY OF THE ; VALLEY.

Are you prepared to handle your grain in bulk? Do not wait until Spring and Summer when you are burred with work and worried with labor shortage, but build your granerics now. Vnn run hnv tho lumber and roof ine paper for a first-class , 1000 bushel portable granary for $54.58 and it will last for years. Sacks for the same amount of grain will cost you .,$125.00 and this w6uld be a dead loss against this year's crop. A granay of this size can be moved anywhere and can be filled directly from the thresher, doing away with high priced labor handling and sewing sacks. The boys in the trenches need the sacks for sand bags for the protection of their very lives and perhaps your boy is among them. , t Spend your money ill your own valley by buying lumlier " manufactured at home. VWhen yod buy sacks part of the money goes to India.. . ' ; I BUILD YOUR XRANAIIES NOW ' I Be prepared by buildinghem before the farming season nnens un.
