Our Bible Band.—One old lady remarked some time ago: "When I began my journey through the Word of God, I slipped two or three sheets of writing-paper in my Bible for the purpose of marking all the best points as I went along. It was only a very few readings and I had those sheets of paper full, so I arrived at the conclusion quickly that there is no best. All the Word from Genesis to Revelation is full of light; and I found it a wonderful thing to go down to the potters and learn the lesson that the Lord gave Jeremiah. I started from the beginning and have not missed a lesson. Praise the Lord."

A tablet has been discovered in Upper Egypt which records the honorable discharge of a soldier who had taken part in the siege of Jerusalem by Titus. While other historical records give us the names of some of the officers of the Roman army under Titus, this man, M. Valerius Quadratus, is the only private soldier whose name we know who fought against Jerusalem.
