ARE YOU A BEREAN?

By Mrs. W. C. Sisley

MRS. W. C. SISLEY. (Battle Creek, Mich.)

If you are not a Berean, now is your opportunity to become one. Since our missionary society has taken up the study of the book of Daniel, that dear old book which in the past has received much study by many of us, we find new pleasure in again considering the familiar texts. And as we read again, in Dan. 2: 28, how God revealed to Nebuchadnezzar “what shall be in the latter days,” we see that the intelligence concerns us infinitely more than it could anyone else: that it is for us. There is a special meaning in the injunction, “Study the books of Daniel and the Revelation.”

Let us study them,—study them with a heart, with a purpose,—and see if our hearts will not burn within us to tell the news to some one else. It is too good to keep. Get your missionary readers to study with you. Visit, write, get others interested whenever possible. Our Berean Circle has no confines. No one is shut out. A circle may be composed of one lone person or of many persons—the more the better.

The outline studies in the REVIEW, Instructor, and Missionary Magazine are just the thing to use in connection with the Bible, “Thoughts on Daniel,” etc.

May God give us each a proper appreciation of our privileges, and may we be, every one, Bereans indeed.
