years’ time, over 232,000 tracts have been received. A few dollars invested here will reach countless hundreds. Eight railroads and one bus line are co operating in this effort. The work is now being maintained in twenty-six cities in eight of the central states. The project needs the prayers and help of God’s peo ple. It is well conducted and scripturally sound. It is financed by voluntary gifts. All cemmunications should be addressed to Rev. Gustave Edwin Anderson, 5153 N. Clark St., Chicago, 111. Arabs Welcome Jews to Hebron Hebron, the scene of the 1929 riots in w h i c h sixty-six Jews were massacred, was the setting for an entirely dif ferent exhibition recently. A wireless message to The New York Times states that “ Twenty Arab notables,” on the eve o f the Jewish Feast o f Pentecost when some Jews returned to the city o f Hebron, “came out to greet the Scrolls o f the Law, which were ceremoniously reinstalled in a temporary synagogue, kissing the scrolls, begging ‘the forgiveness o f the God of Torah for Arabs having harmed Jews, and swearing to safeguard Jewish residents in the future. ‘W e have not suffered half the trials and tribulations we deserve for mur dering your brethren,’ said one ■!o f the Arabs to Haim Bajayo, a Shephardic rabbi, who conducted the scrolls back to Hebron. The same Arab guarded Jewish worship ers on their festival visit to the patriarch’s cave at Machpelah, protecting them against possible molestation. Twenty Jewish fam ilies now reside in Hebron; ten more are returning this week in view o f the friendly attitude. More are expected to return later."—T he A lliance W eekly . Knowing Our Medicine Chest Once the clumsy camel driver o f a med ical missionary caused a lot of tabloid medicines to be thrown from the camel’s back and scattered over the sands. They were all mixed up, could not be separated, and so were left lying on the ground. But one o f the quack native doctors gathered them up, and some years later the medical missionary called on him and found on a shelf a large bottle labeled “ Assorted Pills.” “These,” said he, “ are more sought than any o f my drugs. I give them only to patients whose cases I do not under stand.” This is a parable of Bible study. Too often we go to our Bibles as that native doctor went to his bottle of “ Assorted Pills.” What wonder that the Bible, used in that way, has no healing virtue for our souls! The Bible is a complete pharma copoeia. It contains a cure for every ill. But it is not to be treated as a book of necromancy.— S unday S chool T imes . God Talking to Us W e have a great many prayer meetings, but there is something just as important as prayer, and that is that we read our Bibles, that we have Bible study and Bible lectures and Bible classes, so that we may get hold of the W ord o f God. When I pray, I talk to G od ; but when I read the Bible, God is talking to m e; and it is really more impor tant that God should speak to me than that I should speak to Him. I believe we should know better how to pray if we knew our Bibles better.—D. L. M oody .
