THE WORDS OF GOD.

A PECULIARITY of the Bible is that its every portion continues to give out new meanings to him who continues in its reverent study. A Bible text may bear upon its face an obvious meaning apparent to all; but beyond this surface meaning there is always a meaning profounder than that which first shows itself to the casual reader. And there is literally no end to this new disclosing of truth to him who perseveres in new searching for truth. “The words that I speak unto you, they are spirit and they are life,” says our Lord; and herein the words of the Bible are different from all other words. However much any one of us may know about any Bible text, there is more for us to learn from that text than all that we have learned thus far.—Sunday School Times.
