How Readest Thou?

By Editor

"How Readest Thou?"—It is an old, old question. How do you read the Bible? Is it in a haphazard sort of way, a little here and a little there? a verse or so taken out of its connection, a portion of a chapter once a day? Of course such reading is better than none, and there are many short passages, verses, sentences, in the Scripture which are mines of light and wisdom and power and comfort; but this reading alone will furnish but a poor knowledge of the riches of the Bible. To help suggestively those who wish to get a more general knowledge of the wonderful Book, we will present a series of articles, one on each book of the Bible. The writer has read the Book through more than a score of times, beside much special study; has read it in Greek, German, French; and the New Testament also in Latin and Hollandish. Yet the articles will be written in simple English style, adapted to all readers. The author of these articles is Pastor F. D. Starr, of Forest, Idaho. They should be a special help to the young.
