Our Bible Band for 1912
By Editor
SURELY there is no more important book than that which reveals God's will, and no one believing the Bible would affirm that we can be too familiar with its contents. Then, too, those who have read it most and longest, love it most and are anxious to read it more. There has come to us one objection from our busy readers, many of whom are carrying special studies like the S. S. lesson; namely, that the readings are too long. Nearly half of our correspondents last year wanted a shorter course. We have prepared a shorter schedule for 1912. It covers practically the whole history of the Bible period, beginning with Genesis and ending with the Revelation. We omit from the readings details in ceremonial instructions, genealogical records, parallel scriptures, some of the prophets and some of the poetical books. As a result we have reduced the 1189 chapters of the Bible nearly half. The schedule for these readings is published in a four-page leaflet, convenient to carry in the Bible, which will be furnished for 5 cents, and your name enrolled in Our Bible Band. If you desire the little booklet furnished last year, containing this schedule and the schedule of last year also, together with a calendar for 1912, send us 10 cents. The little booklet contains many facts concerning the Bible, as the canon, the Hebrew divisions, the original languages, manuscripts, various versions and translations, punctuation, weights, measures, money, interesting facts, Bible societies, suggestions for reading, etc., etc. It is a constant little helper to the Bible reader. Remember, the leaflet alone, 5 cents. The booklet with the two schedules, calendar for 1912, and many other facts, 10 cents. Join our Band. Act quickly. The journey through the Word will be both pleasant and profitable.
