BIBLE POINTS The Bible Is shallow enough that the most timid swimmer may enJor Its waters without fear. It is deep enough for the most ex– pert swimmer to enjoy without touch– ing bottom. Its critics have been legion, but it Is still here; they are gone. It is the root of all good civil law, and good practice. It has comforted mlllions, as no other book can comfort; and still continues to do so. When nations ignored its teachings, they fell. It tells what was, what is, and what w111 be-an epitome of life from the cradle to the grave, and then beyond. It Is God's vital and inviolate word. and can never be set aside.-John , Watson.
WHO WILL GO? If the world today Is Indifferent to our Christ, it Is because they cannot see Him for our Inertia. May this great Tolce sound In our hearts until it ·finds a response like that of Isaiah: "Whom shall I send, and who will go for us? Then said I, Here am I; send me." "And who wlll go for Me to the lower side of New York, or into the slums of other cities, or into the industrial centers of the Middle West, among the black folk in the South, to China and Japan and Africa, and the Islands of the Sea? Who will go to My people, whose cry doth wrap itself like a blazing fire of pain around My sensitive soul? Who will go for Me?" And say unto Him, "Lord, here am I; blood bought and blood clean1ed, Spirit regenerated, here am I; aend me?"-Harrl1 E. Kirk.
