' SATURDAY NIGHT
BIBLE READERS
WHAT ABOUT THE
CHURCH
By B. D. Stevenson
There Is nothing wrong with the
Church. It has always been anti
always will be the best channel for
giving Christianity to the world.
The only trouble is with a few peo-
ple in the church but the main
trouble is with a lot of folks who
ought to be in the Church and are
hot. Ought to regularly attend and
do not and ought to know Ood and
do not, ought to read the Bible—
God’s Inspired Word—and do not.
The ihaln purpose of Saturday
Night Bible Readers Is to intro-
duce these multitudes who for the
most part know neither the inside
of a Church nor the inside of the
Bible to the importance in these
days of confusion and distress of
knowing what God has to say to
manklnS. Saturday night is select-
ed because that night should be re-
deemed from a night of revelry and
riotous living.
A good preacher friend of the
writer after reading-over the var-
ious articles in this series that have
already been published expostu-
lated at the idea of reading an en-
tire book in an evening, lie- claims
that the Bible must be studied
carefully verse by verse.
And he is right.
But we are still urging the read-
ing of an entire book in an even-
ing-,'.'. -
Fifty per cent of the people of
America are not connected with
any Church and the Bible -is prac-
tically unknown to them and their
first task is to read it through from
cover to cover and read and read
and keep on reading. From time
to time suggestions will be made
for more systematic study of the
Bible.
Of the other fifty per cent of the
people, far too many have practi-
cally no acquaintance with the Bi-
ble and regularly devoting Satur-
day night to wide reading is their
first step. Sunday , School teachers
and other-Church workers who reg-
ularly study the' Bible can well de-
vote Saturday night either to care-
ful study or wide and extensive
reading.
There are choice - parts of the
Bible which will aid anyone in their
effort to gain a familiarity with
the Word, and some familiarity
with the Book is of vast advantage
in a prelude to a careful study.
One of The best places to start
reading the Bible 1b to begin at
the beginning and read the bOok
of Genesis or as much as can be
read In an evening being careful to
carry all the connections in mind.
Then fojjow with the other books
of the Bible and Especially Exodus
and Deuteronomy.
Heading schedules have been de-
vised wherebV by reading three
chapters« each day and five on
Sunday one can .read the Bible
through in one year and it is. a
good plan. But along with this
general reading one of the most
profitable plans is in addition to
this general reading to select a book
such aA’the Gospel of John and read
it through from beginning to end
not once aiyear but once a week or
at least once a month for an entire
year. Become thoroughly acquaint-
ed with it and filled with its mean-
ing. Then the following year select
another book. *

THE OLD JUDGE SAYS...
“Glad you dropped .in, Judge. I was just
trying to explain to Mary what you told u9
down at lodge last night...about all the
graia used to distill war-alcohol not really
being used up. She didn’t realise it, either.”
“It’s true, Mary. Wherever the govern-
ment has permitted distillers to purchase
the ttuipment necessary to reprocess the
used grain, at least 50% of the feed value
(25% l>y weight) of the whole grain is
being recovered and returned to farms like
yours In the form of premium-quality live-
stock feed. Only the starch Is removed
during distilling...the part recovered is a
highly-prized concentrate containing valu-
able proteins^ fats and carbohydrates. The
distilling industry really has taken a leading
part in the development of new cattle and
poultry feed products from reprocessed
grain...products rich in vitamins Bi and
Ba... eo essential to satisfactory growth
and production. And the recovery of grain
will apply also to the making of whiskey
when production ia resumed.”
