IF THERE is sny on thing, from a human standpoint, the men of this country need more than any other, it is the hshit of daily Bible reading Get a King James version of the Bi ble, or, if you prefer, an American Revised edition, and read one or two chapters every day. You will witness a marvelous change in your own con dition, in your ability to control your self, in your influence and power over your friends, your employees and your business. A large amount of the present restlessness of today, mentally, phy&ically and socially, can be attributed to the lack of Bible knowledge, Bible reading and Bible study. The Bible is supernatural. Do not read it in a careless, superficial man ner, but read it carefully, thoughtful ly, prayerfully. Read the Books of the Pentateuch and the four Gospels together. Read Daniel and Revela tion; then read the Epistles. Read the Book of John every month. Read the Little Book of Colossians every day. Read the Epistles. They are the guides and safeties for the present, everyday Christian. Forget the trash of the papers; forget the funnies and foolishness of the daily press. The most up-to-date book in the world is the Bible. Read it, study it, meditate upon its teachings and you will become a stronger man, physical ly, mentally, spiritually, morally, so- I cially, and every other way. Gel a copy of the New Testament, carry it in your pocket, make it your habit to give a copy of the New Testa ment to some one every week. Be a real propagator of the Bible. It is the world's greatest blessing, and it satisfies man's greatest need at the present moment. Read your Bible, read it daily, read it prayerfully.
