SYSTEMATIC BIBLE STUDY
By Editor
WHEN the Master was here in person, one of the texts in which He emphasized the importance of Bible study is this: "Search the Scriptures; for in them ye think ye have eternal life: and they are they which testify of Me." John 5:39. Searching the Scriptures until we become familiar with each and every sacred text, is one of the pleasurable objects set before the Christian. The reason why so many people find their religious duties irksome is because they have not become intelligent Bible Christians. They have not familiarized themselves with the Bible. They have not studied the Word verse by verse and chapter by chapter and book by book, all the way through. We trust that the importance of reading the Bible for yourself, until you become familiar with every one of its sacred utterances, will engage an ever-increasing army among our readers who have the object before them of reading the Bible through at least once each year. Following the program that we are suggesting for 1914, the following is the— SCHEDULE FOR THE WEEK ENDING FEBRUARY 14
Read one chapter in Genesis each week-day, and on the Sabbath the two chapters in Exodus. Read one psalm each day during the week. Read one chapter in Luke each week-day, and two on the Sabbath. Keep in mind the suggested help that may be received from reading "Patriarchs and Prophets" in the study of the first part of the Old Testament, and "The Desire of Ages" in studying the story of the life of Christ as revealed in the Gospels.
