I told them how I read it. I de termined to read it through in one year.' After relating some details in reading this Bible, I casually asked the group if they knew when their copies of the Bible had been printed. Most of the members didn’t know. Someone guessed for an an swer. Then I asked them how they would find out. One member said, “ Look for the date in the front.” I said, “ That is a good idea. What do you find?” They looked for the date. One fellow yelled, “ 1611.” I asked them, “Why do you sup- pose it was translated in 1611?” No one knew the answer. Then I said, “ Say, that’s strange . . . If no one knows the answer, how about finding out why our Bi bles have this date? Who will try to find out?” Several of these youthful pros pectors in the Bible volunteered. I showed them where to get the an swer in the encyclopedia in the pub lic library. I asked them to write their answers on a sheet of paper. Then I said, “ That reminds me of another idea. Why was the Bible printed anyway? What is it all about?” Immediately the group began to give their views. One said, “ To tell about God.” Another added, “ It tells us how to be saved.” Still another chimed in, “ I don’t know.” Then I suggested that since they had so many answers, it might be worthwhile to see if these answers were true. How about looking into the Bible itself? CONTINUED
