F ebruary 5, 1928 Text: Isa. 43:1-2

We never prize the precious words of promise till we are placed in conditions in which their suitability and sweetness are manifested. We all of us value those golden words, “When thou zvalkest through the fire thou shalt not be burned, neither shall the flame kindle upon thee," but few if any of us have read them with the delight of the martyr Bilney, to whom this passage was a stay, while he was in prison awaiting his execution at the stake. His Bible, still preserved in the library of Corpus Christi College, Cambridge, has the passage marked with a pen in the margin. Perhaps, if all were known, every promise in the Bible has borne a special message to some one saint, and so the whole volume might be scored in the margin with mementoes of Christian ex­ perience, every one appropriate to the very letter. In the French revolution, a young man was condemned to the guillotine, and shut up in one of the prisons. He’was greatly loved by many, but there was one who loved him more than all put together. How know we this ? It was his own father, and the love he bore his son was proved in this way: When the lists were called, the father, whose name was exactly the same as the son’s, answered to the name, and the father rode in the gloomy tumbril out to the place of execution, and his head rolled beneath the axe instead of his son’s, a victim to mighty love. See here an image of the love of Christ to sinners; for thus Jesus died for the ungodly. Your Bible Reading For 1928 B y G eorge T. B. D avis . W HAT is the secret of your success and of your power?” I once asked the late Dr. J. Wilbur Chapman. Never can I forget his reply: “I find that I have power just in propor­ tion as my soul is saturated through and through with the Word of God.” Many Christians do not realize the rich blessing of soul'and delight of mind that come from reading the Bible through once each year. To many it would appear to be a strenuous undertaking, but in reality it is very simple. By reading three chapters daily, and five on Sunday, and dividing the 119th Psalm into eleven portions of sixteen verses each, one can complete the reading of the Bible through in twelve months.
