sunday school lesson february 3 lesson v the holy scriptures psalm 19 714 2 tim 3 1417 golden text open thou min eyes that 1 may behold won drous things out of thy law psalm 119 18 analysis i thk mtaisk of the scbiwures psalm 19 714 ii the profitableness of scripture 2 timothy 3 1417 introduction it is difficult for us in this land and age of liberty to realize the privilege which is ours in having an open bible in our own tongue the old testament was written originally in hebrew and the new testament in greek and for a long time it was a sealed book to the comma npeople it was only after many a struggle and many a labor that men were able to get the bible translated into english we believe that in these two parts of scripture which go together we have a faithful account of the gradual unfolding of the mind and purpose of god we sec how christ is prefigured in the pro phecies more and more clearly till at last he comes as the word of god in the flesh we should therefore learn to prize this book augustine said scripture is a long letter sent to us from our heavenly home i the rraise ok the scriptures psalm 19 714 vs 79 the writer of this psalm had a very small bible only the law but he is so fuli of piaiso of this that he puts us to shame when we rem ember how greatly enriched our bible is there are throe featurec to be noticed in these verses 1 each verse speaks of the law under a new name by which the writer calls attention to the many- sidedness of gods word we should read psalm 119 to see this same fea ture carried still farther 2 each verse selects out one particular qual ity cf the law such as perfection re liability righteousness purity clean ness truthfulness 3 each verse points out some result whic- fellows from the jtudy of the law he im parts restoration wisdom joy clear ness of vision patience no wonder he oralses such a book v 10 and he is therefore amply justified when he goes on to speak of its value in the highest terms it is more valuable than fine gold its mes sage brings more sweetness than honey vs 1113 the result of bible study is that it drives the mind in upon itself and reveals the real nature of the heart the dark places now be come more manifest and secret faults begin to show themselves all of this impels the reader to pray to god for cleansing and we have in v 14 the very fine example of a prayer such as a sincere reader of gods word would have to make ii the profitableness of scripture 2 timothy 3 1417 v 14 this is one of the pastoral epistles so called because they deal with the different problems which arise in the life of a minister or pas tor among these duties an import- is quickened by tho reading of the bible tho scripture bring us to christ who saves v 16 these scriptures are here said to bo inspired that is then are dllad with the- spirit of god and be come the living oracle of goi sea acts 7 38 we may compare the words of 2 peter 1 21 holy men of god spake as they were moved by the holy ghost paul is thus certain that the truths of the old testament are not mere human wisdom but they are tha expression of the mind and vill of goof the church has always accepted this position for the new and old alike this passage has been summed up in the following words the holy scripture teaches the ignor ant convicts the evil and prejudiced corrects the fallen and erring and trains in righteousness all men v 17 the study ot the bible brings such rich results that if one has a welldisposed mind he will be so strengthened by these inspired words that he will be made perfectly it to undertake all kind of christian work ant place must be assigied to the right use of the bible which is tho authority for our knowledge of the way of salvation it contains a reve lation of the mind of god the true pastor therefore must rest his in struction on the book paul warns timothy that he will meet with many kinds of evil but if he is sure of hi3 scriptural knowledge there will be no danger of his failure he reminds timothy that he has been brought up in this way those here referred to are his mother and grandmother see cha 1 5 v 15 the holy scriptures are the boo of the old testament for as yet the now testament had not been in cluded in the sacred list the chris tians made much use of the old testa ment and read certain passages in their services paul often quotes the law and the prophets and draws many lessons from these scriptures at a later time the word scripture was applied to the new testament and now scriptures means our bible the jews were taught to study the scriptures from an early age the regulation was that a child should be gin to learn the law by heart when five years old paul says that these scriptures make men wise unto sal vation by which he may mean that they predict the coming of christ and prepare the way for the gospel to be preached jesus also had said that the scriptures testified of himself but paul is careful to add that it is not the mere reading that saves the book is not a fetish it is faith which an army joke fifty kegs of fine old navy- rum vanish in transit at halifax halifax ns one of the strangest disappearances of liquor
