BIBLE READING.
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.

Meanwhile, Eugene Craig had
taken full charge of the control

f'usuuers over 10 ms mysterious col

interested in the control room, and
with Dinny he looked the place over

But Ruth and Foster reached the

greeted Dinny warmly. Ruth was

This was a staggering blow to

seemed to be snatched from her.
However, she insisted that the
