your secrets with Almighty God.'"

"Why, I read a most delightful book lately called 'Daniel Quorm'"
said Mrs. Lee, "that brought out the same idea. Daniel marked his
Bible in that way--marked texts that expressed his state of mind or
heart at the time and put the date in the margin. It occurred to me
that it would be an excellent plan. One could judge in looking over
a Bible so marked whether they were advancing or going back in their
Christian experience."

"I heard Ralph Wells say, in a Sabbath-school convention last
summer," said Miss Day, "'that it is he that doeth His will that is
to know concerning the doctrine, and that no spectacles are so
precious for right understanding of the Word as a conscience void of
offence toward God and man.' He also said in reference to Bible
study, 'Wonderful is the light one gains by simply looking out the
references.' Another good thing that I remember from him, and that I
have practised ever since is, that we 'ought to learn a verse of
Scripture each day.'"

"There is one precious way in which the Scriptures are to be used
that has not been mentioned yet," said one who had been silent thus
far, but whose face expressed lively sympathy with all she heard, "we

ought to take advantage of such a gracious permission, and bring a
promise when we come before the Lord in prayer.

"I had an old neighbour once who owned bank stock to the amount of
fifty thousand dollars, and yet he got it into his head that if he
were not very saving, he should go to the poor-house. This grew upon
him so, that he shut up all the rooms in his house, which was large
and pleasant, and he and his wife lived in the kitchen, hovering in
the coldest weather over a small fire because he thought he ought not
to afford any more, when he had only to go to the bank and present
his cheque to get all he needed. So we have only to put our names in
the promises and plead them, and they are fulfilled to us. Instead of
that, we go mourning about in the kitchen and down cellar, instead of
sitting in the 'chamber of peace.'"

"I am sorry to say that our hour is more than up," Mrs. Lewis said.
"Let us glance over what we have learned in the study of the Word: We
need the teaching of the Holy Spirit. We are to pray for light on it.
We are to love it, obey it, meditate on it, search it, desire
