a mind and spirit Man needs food for his character, his mind and spirit lust as much as he needs it tor bone and muscle. Now the Bible 1$ food for On growing Christian. we have been told that a hundred times by preachers, and It is true. But no food does you the slightest good if you leave It on the pantry shelf or In the freezer. Borne people’s Bibles are so to speak In a deep-freeze, and stay there. No wonder some people's souls are thin. ■ From Childhood Acquainted— 1 * Most people, when they are grown up, like the foods they learned to eat when children. If you never learned to eat rhubarb, or hominy, or squash, or oysters, when you were little, you aren't going to be very fond of them, probably, after you are grown. It Is exactly the same way with tha ' Bible. As a rule (there are exceptions, of course), the Christians who get the most out of the Bible are those who, like Timothy, were “from childhood acquainted with the sacred writings.” The first god best start toward knowing the Bible and loving it and getting the most out of it, all your life, is to hear it and memorize it when you are small. (By the way, h Is never too late to begin committing Bible passagea to memory.) The best thing Christian parents can do for their children' la to see that they are as familiar as possible with God’s book, the book to grow by. A child wIH not understand all ha memorizes, of course; but he will be layigg the foundation for understanding -to later -years. Tfieri" a- - can learn, and Juniors in the church school are usually taught, how to find things in the Bible. They learn the books In order; they know what is poetry and what is history and what is Gospel, and so on. They can learn to find their way around in the Bible, so to speak, and this is a tremendous advantage later on. ttndy Is Hard Work It cannot be too often repeated: Growing calls for effort. Maturity) never comes without struggle. So with the Bible. Food for the soul, food for the character it is; but it cannot be simply absorbed like salt in hot water. If we are to grow by this book of God, we have to study it not just read it A few verses read at the sleepiest time of day are better than no verses at all; but real Bible study calls for more serious effort. If the reader is interested, he should ask his pastor to recommend some books that his denomination would approve, to help the serious student to get a more thorough understanding of Scripture. A Bible dictionary, a Bible atlas, and if possibls a one-volume commentary on the Bible, are basic helps. Many churches publish dqy-by-day booklets wjth Bible passages for every day, and these are useful for devotional hours; but they are often hop-skip-and-jump in the use of Scripture and do not always give the kind of help needed (for example) in studying some particular book like Job or Romans. Certainly every Sunday school ought to make it possible for every teacher to own or at least to borrow the helps needed for a real study of the Sunday school lessons. The reason why so many Christians get so tittle out of the Bible is simply that they won’t put enough time on it Live Wires ie an Old Hense' One of the most helpful translators of the Bible In our times. J. B. Phillips, whose “Letters to Young Churches'* has helped so many to understand Paul’s letters, says that In his work as a translator bo hai often felt like an electrician Installing fixtures In an. old house and finding Uva wires everywhere. The Bible la an ancient book; but It is a living book. The writer to the Hebrews thinks of it not as bread but as a sword. The Bible does mors than comfort and strengthen us; It challenges, rebukes, startles uo by its divine Insight into our darkest hearts. Wo never grow by the Bible If wo era never made ashamed by 1L - 1 Covetousness contracts and deadens the feellaga.—Mant. He who loaea his courage loses all.

Getting Ready Far Church ' By Mrs. James R. Meadows I)o you just go to church. Or do you get ready to go first? Do you ever make any definite preparation, for the Sunday morning worship? Do you have the matter on your mind In advance? Do you plan for It both for yourself and, for those In your home, or for those whom you may influence? Do you pray for the service? Do you pray that the sermon and other parts of the worship may be helpful to you and others? Do you pray that the pastor may be given Divine guidance in the preaching? Do you really desire a blessing for the day? Do you pray for the unconverted, who may be in the congregation? Do you make your Sunday School an excuse or an inspiration for -the other services to follow?
