Family Bible Readings

By Jennie Thayer

The beauty of the Bible consists in its perfect adaptation to the needs of humanity. It meets the wants of all classes in the most varied circumstances of life. It brings instruction to the ignorant, reproof to the erring, pardon to the penitent; promises a way of escape to the tempted, light to those who are in darkness, strength to the weak, rest to the heavy-laden, riches to the poor, love to the outcast, friends to the friendless, a Father to the fatherless, health to the sick, life to the dead; gives courage to the faint-hearted, hope to the despondent, comfort to the sorrowing, bread to the hungry, and water of life to the thirsty.
Every individual, however weak, sinful, tried, tempted, perplexed, persecuted, or cast down, can come to its pages, and find the help he needs. Here he learns of that Saviour who has been tempted in all points as we are, yet without sin; who died that we might live, and ever liveth to make intercession for us. Here he finds a God of infinite love and mercy, who tenderly cares for even the least of his creatures. Here he finds the hope of eternal life in the world restored to its Eden beauty, and freed from all traces of the blight of sin; and here he reads the rules that must direct his life in order that he may be fitted to enjoy this world of purity and holiness. Yet how few, even of those who profess to prize the Sacred Volume, realize what a treasure-house of blessings it opens to them, and what beauty and harmony there are in its teachings when rightly understood.
Ever since Satan's first lie to the human race in Eden, he has continued the work of leading man to believe that God's Word is not to be relied upon, that he does not tell the truth, and therefore we should not be careful to obey him. Those whom he can not deceive in this way, he endeavors to persuade that God is so particular and exacting with the creatures of his hand that it is useless to ask for mercy at his throne of justice. Thus he labors to secure the souls for whom Christ died, and who, did they know the true character of God, would not listen to these suggestions of the enemy.
The Bible is the revelation of God's character, and it is by studying its teachings that man may become acquainted with his Maker. We who have received light from its pages have a special responsibility resting upon us to show to others what a wonderful book God has given to an unappreciative world, to teach them the truths that have long been hidden by the sophistry of error, and to reveal to them the character of God as it shines forth in his Word in marked contrast to the representations of Satan. It should be our daily study to know how we can do this acceptably to him whose we are and whom we serve.
In our association with our fellow men, we have an opportunity to become acquainted with their wants, and to call their attention to the passages of Scripture in which they will be likely to take an interest, and from which they may derive comfort and instruction. Surely in the thirty thousand promises of the Bible we can find plenty that will apply to every one who is in need; and by bringing these to their notice, we may awaken an interest to engage in the study of the Scriptures.
When going out to call upon our neighbors, we should ask God's blessing upon our visit, that we may indeed be a help to them, and also select a few texts that we think will be likely to meet their wants. We should endeavor to direct the conversation in such a way that they will desire to know what precious promises there are in the Word of God for them, and get them to read those promises from the Bible with us. We should not continue the reading till they become weary, but should close while their interest is at its height, and suggest that we will consider other scriptures in which they are interested, at some future time.
All this while, we should be lifting our hearts to God for wisdom and guidance, and praying that the Holy Spirit may enable the reader to see new beauty in the Sacred Word. The reading should be conducted in a manner calculated to make a serious impression upon all present, and if circumstances are favorable, it may be well to have a short prayer at its close. As we continue the readings, and consider subjects that the people are not so ready to accept, it sometimes gives them confidence in the work to have the prayer before the reading, asking that God will direct us in our search for truth, and will give us a right understanding of the question under consideration.
With great care, by noticing the ideas that seem to strike them the most favorably, we should seek to lead them on from subject to subject till they acquire a love for the study of the Bible, till they begin to comprehend the character of God, to understand that he is not an arbitrary Ruler but a loving Father, that the laws he has given to govern mankind are for their best good and must be obeyed, and that every word of God is more enduring than the “everlasting hills.”
When they have reached this point, they are prepared to read upon subjects that would previously have aroused their prejudice, and closed their ears to the truth. But even then, heavenly wisdom is needed to know how to present what are considered unpopular truths so that they will have a converting influence.
It may not be best to pursue the same course with any two individuals. A text that contains a most valuable lesson for one, will perhaps convey little meaning to another of a different nature who has had a different experience. We must make each person a special subject of study and prayer, and rely upon the Holy Spirit to lead our minds to just those passages that we can impress upon the hearts of the individuals for whom we are laboring. God has said that his word shall not return unto him void, but shall accomplish that which he pleases, and shall prosper in the thing wherein he sends it; and if we are laboring for him, guided by his Spirit, we may have confidence that the scriptures we present to the people will not be lost upon them.
At first it may be difficult to get those whom we visit to read from the Bible. Many are so unfamiliar with the Book that they can not readily turn to the passages, and may feel embarrassed at having their ignorance exposed to one who is better acquainted with it. Where a reluctance to take part in the reading is manifested, and we have reason to suppose that this may be the cause, we can mention the fact that it is not easy for most persons to find the different books, and on announcing the texts, state in what part of the Bible each book is located. We should plan to get them to read for themselves, as a more lasting impression will be made than if we do the reading.
We must not be discouraged by seeming failures; but seeking the aid of the Holy Spirit, endeavor to learn wherein we have not pursued a wise course, and lay skilful plans for renewed effort. Thus an excellent opportunity will be afforded us to develop tact, courage, faith, and perseverance. God has promised to give wisdom liberally to those who ask in faith, and he will fulfil the promise to all who comply with the conditions.
This is a work in which every lover of the Bible can have a part. None are excused because they have had no experience. If that were an excuse for idleness, few would ever gain an experience. Neither should want of talent lead us to hesitate about engaging in the work. “Men with one talent may reach a class that those with two or five talents can not approach.” God has given “to every man his work,” and “if there be first a willing mind, it is accepted according to that a man hath, and not according to that he hath not.”
We are to be ready always to give an answer to every man that asketh us a reason of the hope that is in us, and as this hope is based upon the Scriptures, is it not most appropriate that the answer should be in the form of a Bible reading? God has said that his word shall not return unto him void, but he has nowhere given a similar promise concerning our words.
One “Thus saith the Lord” sent home to the heart by his Spirit, will have more power to convert a soul to the truth than a thousand arguments from the most logical men. It is true that we might quote the texts showing the reason of our hope, but they would be less forcible than when read directly from the Word of God.
The number of our people who can leave their homes and take a course of instruction in Bible readings, with a view to devote their time to this branch of the work, is small; but if each one would prepare his heart by seeking God and taking lessons of the Great Teacher, and would improve every opportunity to magnify his Word before the world, might we not look for great results?

Loma Linda Hospital Day, March 15, 1913

THE commission of Christ to his disciples, to the seventy who were sent forth, and to all his followers down to the end of time was: “Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel.” “Heal the sick, . . . and say unto them, The kingdom of God is come nigh unto you.” This complete gospel for body and soul is committed in a special way to his remnant people for two reasons,—first, to prepare a people for translation; second, to aid in reaching the public with the message for to-day.

Purpose of the College of Medical Evangelists

Early in the history of the denomination, emphasis was laid by the spirit of prophecy upon the importance of combining medical missionary work with evangelistic effort in carrying the gospel message for this time. About four years ago plain instruction was given regarding the establishment of a school for the preparation of medical evangelists.
Following as nearly as possible the light received, the College of Medical Evangelists was chartered Dec. 9, 1910, for the purpose of educating physicians as medical missionaries.

Courses of Study Directed

It was evident from the instruction that three courses were to be given,—one preparing men and women as physicians to meet the medical requirements of State laws, to stand at the head of our institutions; another preparing a larger number of persons as physicians, to labor as evangelists; and a third, preparing a large number as nurses, for missionary service.

Present Facilities of the College

One of the best laboratories in the West has been provided for the college. In this the most of the first three years' work of the course is given. Excellent equipment has been installed, making it possible to give thorough instruction in all branches of the first half of the medical course.

Our Crying Need Now

The last half of the medical course consists very largely of hospital and dispensary practise. No hospital has as yet been provided for the college. Hospital and dispensary facilities must be provided before the opening of another school year if the college is to continue. Already the school is in jeopardy because they have not been provided. These features are required for the use of students the last two years of their course, or they will not even be admitted to examinations before State boards.
We now face the necessity of providing these needed facilities and having them in operation before September next. Otherwise we should disappoint the sixty-three students who are in the college, which would be a great injustice to the more advanced classes. In fact, unless the hospital and dispensary are provided at once, we can get no recognition as a medical school. Will the denomination come to the aid of the school to-day by raising the $20,000 needed for this hospital?

Two Great Plans

The General Conference has undertaken two great plans for delivering our institutions,—one to remove all indebtedness from our institutions, and the other to raise sufficient means to build a hospital for the medical college. The latter plan is as follows: Sabbath, March 15, has been set apart as Loma Linda Hospital day. Liberal donations and gifts are to be received from all our people in the churches on this day. It is desired that at least half as many dollars be raised by each church as there are members in the church. This would abundantly provide for the hospital.

Reasons for a Hospital

There are two great reasons why there should be a hospital. The one of primary importance to the college is to furnish opportunity for training its students in the methods of treating the sick which the Lord has given us as a people. Some have advocated that students be sent to this college for the first half of their course, and then go to an outside college to finish their course. This will never do. The most important part of our medical course is the last half, when the students are grounded in the right methods of treating the sick. These methods can be taught and demonstrated only in a properly conducted hospital under the complete control of the school.
The second great reason for a hospital is that the poor may be provided for in such a hospital. Abundant provision is made for treating the rich in our sanitariums, but little effort has been made heretofore by the denomination to provide a place where the sick poor may be brought in a medical way under the influence of the truth.
Will not all our people unite in this effort to furnish this hospital for our college at Loma Linda.
W. A. RUBLE.

News and Miscellany

Notes and clippings from the daily and weekly press
— The fall of one inch of rain is equivalent to 100 tons of water per acre of land.
— The fact has recently been brought out that a trust exists to control the tips received at all the large city restaurants, thousands of dollars being paid over for the privilege.
— During the fiscal year 1912, 838,172 immigrants were admitted to this country, a decrease of 40,415 as compared with the previous year. On the other hand, 333,262 emigrant aliens departed, an increase of 37,596 over 1911. Nearly 70,000 aliens were naturalized during the year.
— Serfdom is finally at an end in Russia, by virtue of a law adopted by the council of the empire last week, following its passage by the Duma. Although most of the serfs were emancipated in 1861, the Caucasus region was excepted from the scope of the rescript because of special conditions prevailing there, and transitional measures of a supposedly temporary nature were adopted, but only after the lapse of more than fifty years was the transitional stage terminated.
— The total wealth of the four principal nations of the world stood as follows at the latest dates: — United States, 1910 ....$125,000,000,000 Great Britain, 1909 .... 88,725,000,000 France, 1909 .......... 83,000,000,000 Germany, 1909 ......... 63,500,000,000 Grand total ..........$360,225,000,000
— Although the cattle shipped to the Chicago stock-yards during the past year exceeded in value the shipments of 1911 by $3,000,000, the supply fell so far short of the demand that prices were advanced as a result. The fact is that while the population of the country increased by 20 per cent, the cattle supply increased only 8 per cent.
— From expert investigation it appears that the light-yellow oranges are not sun-kissed into ripeness, but sweated in air-tight rooms. The fruit is picked when green, and placed in air-tight sweat-boxes heated to a temperature of 95 degrees Fahrenheit. It usually takes three or four days to give the oranges their Turkish bath. The process brings out a pale-yellow color, and they are then cooled, packed, and shipped to market labeled “sun-kissed.”

District of Columbia Conference Corporation of Seventh-Day Adventists

By J. L. McElhany; A. J. Bristol

THE second annual session of the District of Columbia Conference Corporation of Seventh-day Adventists will be held in connection with the regular session of the conference at the Memorial Church, 1210 Twelfth St., N. W. The first meeting of the legal corporation will be held Monday, March 31, 1913, at 10 A. M. The regular delegates to the conference are the members of this corporation. At this session a board of seven trustees is to be elected, and any other business transacted that may come before the corporation.

February Record of Temperance Instructor 90,967

LIVING CHIMNEYS
LIVING CHIMNEYS
In the first twenty-four days after the date of issue (February 4), the Temperance Instructor reached a circulation of 90,967 copies, 46,790 copies having been put out before the date of publication, making a total of 137,747 copies ordered out before March 1, or before the publishing date of the 1912 Temperance issue.

Successful Instructor Enterprises

Among the many enterprises associated with the Instructor sales are: the sale of the Instructor by outside Temperance organizations on the Thanksgiving Ingathering plan, applying all received above the cost of the papers on the Temperance campaign fund; the young people of a conference selling Temperance Instructors and giving their profits to the conference tent fund; the children of schools turning in all their profits for school furniture; members of families applying the profits on the 20 cent-a-week fund; and hundreds of young people depending on the Temperance Instructor sales for the coming year's school expenses.
While all of these and other good works are accomplished with the Instructor, a greater work is being done through the molding influence of the Instructor as it enters the homes of those who need it.

"The Speaker's Manual"

Few public speakers are entirely free from errors of pronunciation. Oftentimes the very best thoughts of a speaker lose their force by being conveyed to the people through words incorrectly pronounced. Sometimes this is the result of carelessness, but the hearers are apt to think it is because of ignorance of the correct form.
"Speaker's Manual" is a handy little companion for study and reference. It contains the correct pronunciation of over 2,000 words commonly mispronounced. Just the right size to fit the pocket. Bound in cloth, 25 cents; leather, 50 cents.

Return from Far Eastern Mission Visit

PROF. H. R. SALISBURY, secretary of the Educational Department of the General Conference, who left this country in October to visit India and other mission stations in the Far East, returned to Washington last week. The Lord blessed him with good health during his entire trip, and we know from letters received from our brethren in the various fields which he has visited that his work has been blessed of the Lord in the accomplishment of much good.
