Our Bible Band

By Editor

We have heard from a goodly number of our Bible Band, tho we would have been glad to hear from more. The replies, we presume, are typical of all. The results are not what we wished, but we shall abide with the majority of our Band, as we said we would. The following is the result of our inquiry:

For one year, 47 per cent.

For two years, 40 per cent.

Undecided, 13 per cent.

One-year course in chronological order, 31 per cent.

One-year course in Biblical order, 1.6 per cent.

One-year course, Old Testament in morning and New in the evening, 13 per cent.

Two-year course, chronological order, 25 per cent.

Two-year course, Biblical order, 15 per cent.

As a decided plurality preferred the one-year course to the two, and a decided majority the chronological order to any other, we shall follow the course of last year.

Our remembrancer this year is not a book-mark, but we think something better. It is a pamphlet giving facts about the Book we are reading, just what every one wants to know about the Bible, in condensed and reliable form. It contains in part the following:

Where we got our Bible; the language of the original; ancient manuscripts and versions of the Hebrew, Greek, Latin, and Syriac; noted English translations; interesting facts about the Bible; how the manuscripts were first written, punctuation, etc., and other important facts not generally found. It will also contain the schedule of the year. This will be sent on receipt of ten cents, to any who desire to join our Band for 1911. Please act quickly.
