A BUSY housekeeper thus tells how she began to memorize the Bible:— At first, being long unused to such study, it was difficult for me to learn even one verse correctly, but, with determination to have every “and” and “the” right, I can now commit to memory accurately and rapidly. I find, too, that the constant repetition of high thoughts and noble language improves my own thought and expression, especially in prayer. While committing the Bible to memory, cares, worries, bitter thoughts, vain regrets, morbid fancies, and all the jumble of things that lumber an unoccupied mind are crowded out. By frequent repetition, rich meanings often stand out clearly in the lines, which would otherwise escape my notice. This growing familiarity with the Bible makes it ready for use in guiding my own way and in helping others. How can I walk and talk with God unless I have in mind some word of his to which I can respond, or which satisfies my own questions and aspirations? Sometimes I may be deprived of reading, and then what riches I shall have in this store of Bible verse hid in my heart! Often at twilight or in helpless hours I say the sweet words over with a sense of comfort and companionship, that otherwise I should miss. Then besides all this, I believe that one of the great joys of heaven will consist in tracing out God’s providences in the light of his Word, and for that reason I can never be too familiar with the Bible.—The Christian.
