“Bible Day”

By Editor

THE International Sunday School Association appointed Sunday, November 28, as “Bible Day.” The Christian Observer of November 17 pointed out the purpose of the plan:—

It is desired that on that day special efforts should be made to emphasize the need of a great revival of daily Bible reading in homes and schools. There is imperative need today for a more thorough knowledge of the Word of God, for the Bible is without age or date or time in its practical value for men. It meets the needs of the human heart in all ages, and is divinely adapted to the requirements of all sorts and conditions of men. It brings to us that which is invaluable in human life, for as President Wilson says, “It classifies moral values,” indicating that men are not judged according to their wits but according to their characters. The test of any man's character is his squaring his conduct with the standards that he knows to be the standards of purity and rectitude. The wise pastor will use this opportunity, when the thoughts of men are turned in a special way toward the Bible, to impress upon his people the value of daily prayerful reading and study of the Word of God. Sunday-school teachers will emphasize to their pupils the need in every life of a thorough knowledge of God's Word.

We can heartily approve the plan of reading the Bible daily.
