The Bible. Wliat to Do with It.
A paper road boforo tlio Dolawaro Oounty Sun
day School Cofventlon at Ityan by Miss Julia
l'lorce.
The Bible—what to do with it We
answer use it, study it. With this
answer we will consider briefly: First
The value of bible study. Second,
The evident lack of bible study in our
Sunday Schools, and among professing
christians generally. Third, What
may be done in the Sunday Schools to
develope bible students.
As to
the value and importance of bible
study a subject about which much may
be said, we give a few scriptural state
ments. "This book of the law shall not
depart out of thy mouth but thou shalt
meditate therein day and night, that
thou mayest observe to do according to
all that Is written therein for then
thou shalt make thy way prosperous,
and then thou shalt have good success,"
JOBhua 1-8. John tells us "to search
the Bcriptures," and that "these were
more noble than those in Thessalonba
in that they received the word with all
readiness of mind, and searched the
scriptures daily, whether these things
were
BO."
Christ, himself, said "If
ye abide in me and iny words abide In
you, ye shall ask what ye will and it
shall be done unto you." How can his
words abide in us, if we do not atttdj
them "Thy words were found and I
did eat them, and thy word was unto
me the joy and rejoicing of my heart."
Jeremiah 15-16, In Romans 15-4, we
learn that "whatsoever things were
written aforetime were written for our
learning." Fronde says "The bible
thoroughly known is a literature of it
self, the rarest and richest in all depart
ments of thought and imagery." We
may truthfully add that this book con
tains the basis of the best systems of
law and political economy its philoso
phy Is the most satisfying the world has
ever known its ethical system is un
equalled in the world's history its bio
graphies are the most truthful and in
spiring ever written.
The life tendency in whatever occu
pation is loo narrow. Bible Btudy broad
ens the sympathies and the life. It leads
inward to the inner self and outward,
out of self, out of smallness, out of
wrong." It builds character, and it
builds nations. It appeals to each in
dividual in all the varying phases of
life. We might go on indefinitely with
with the value of bible study but we
hasten to prove the evident lack of the
same. Not one in four ot the profess
edly christian students in the collegeB
are systematically studying the bible.
Statistics show that fully one half of
the Christian men in the Y. M. C. A,
are engaged in no form of practical or
devotional Bible study. It has been
observed that students are a good deal
more familiar with classical references
in literature than with biblical. Recent
ly a college president, deploring the
prevalent ignorance of the teaohings of
the bible decided to make a fair test
in one of hiB classes. The Freshman
class was made up of thirty four young
men, who with one exception, were
from christian homes and. were atlili
ated with christian churches,—the Pres
byterian, Methodist, Baptist, Congre
gational and Roman Catholic denom
inations being represented. These
young men were the sons of lawyers,
preachers,teachers,merchant8 and farm
ers. To them, he gave twenty-two
quotations from Tennyson with biblical
references to be explained. The result
waB appalling. Nineteen had appar
ently never read the idyll of Ruth and
of
B. A. Baker was in town the first
last week.
The house of W. H. Gladden south
of town being finished, a dance was
given there last Tuesday evening.

Boaz. Eleven failed to apprehend "the
Manna on My Wilderness." Similar
tests have been made in many of our
colleges, with the same results.
We may turn to our home county.
For six months, we have been studying
the goBpel of John. What think you
would be the result, if we ask the aver
age member of the Sunday School
above twelve yearB of age, some such
questions as these. What do you know
of the author of this gospel? How
does John set forth Christ? What is
the central thought of the gospel
What are the great "I ams" of John's
gospel? In what verse does John set
forth the reason for writing these
things Does the word repent occur in
John? What important word occurs
nearly one hundred times? What
verseB
have you learned from Jobn'B
gospel? What is your favorite chap
ter? Can you enumerate the events of
the passion week
BB
Shall we attempt this in our S. S.?
We do not have bible study in our pub
lic schools It is not found In our homes
it is being introduced into our colleges,
but slowly. Of a number of catalogues
of schools in Iowa, recently examined
only one has bible study in tbecurri
culum. Our Y. M. and Y. W. C. A. In
the colleges are doing a great work
aldng tbiB line. But what of the many
who never go to college and who have
no bible training in the home They
muBt be reached through the Sunday
School or through the efforts of person
al workers. The question for this con
vention IB: what can be done in a practl
cal way to bring about ISBS haphazard
bible reading and more systematic bible
study in Delaware county during the
next year. With a few suggestions,
will leave this to the general discussion
of the convention.
There are three methods of bible
study the devotional, the object of
which is to deepen man's spiritual life
the practical, which is to make a man
wise Boul-winner the intellectual or
scientific, which aims to give one
scholarly grasp of the sacred writings.
These are in a measure, inseparable
one cannot be carried on without the
other, yet either of the three oujects
can be uppermost, and we believe the
last mentioned should be uppermost in
the minds of our S. S. workers. Wi
would not be misunderstood soul-win
ning is ever the
fundamental, that of the
earnest christian but you areaS. S.
teacher, you are not expected to train
your class which may be composed of
christians and non-professors to become
personal workers neither are you sup
posed to spend the hour in a devotional
study of the bible, for that requires
seclusion not found in the S. S. and we
maintain that better results would be
forthcoming if we aimed to give S. S.
pupils a grasp of bible knowledge, with
perhaps one for spiritual food and
reflection, each Sunday.
Use your bible in preference to helps
or quarterlies if one must go, let it be
the quarterly, not the bible. Early in S.S.
life, handle the bible, become familiar
with it, look up bible references rapid
ly, become familiar with the books and
number of chapters in each. If you
ask your S. S. to turn to Phil 5-3, Jude
2-4, Col. 6-1, how many would try to find
them Our junior societies are taking
up this line of mechanical work. It
has been suggested that they were do
ing the work, because our S. S. failed to
doit.
Give attention each Sunday to mem
orizing scripture. We cannot empha
size this enough, memorize, memorize,
memorize, at the time of life when the
memory 1b' most active. Remember
Ue word of Christ, "It ya abide In ma,
MliS.
they occurred each
day Simple questions, these, but
what of permanent value have the
pupils of our S. S. acquired during the
six monthB study of that most delight
ful of books, the gospel of John?
Have they a greater love and apprecia
tion of the Christ life, and a greater de
sire to know more of God as be has
manifested himself in his word? If
they haven't, whose fault is it? To
know the bible is to love it. I am not
a pessimist, on the contrary, I am a
strong optimist. Doubtless morepeo
pie are today reaching out after the
better things of the christian life than
ever before, but the current in that
direction is not swift enough nor
strong enoug. Let us do what we can
to increase its power.
and my words abide in you, etc." day of December of that year, just at
Sunday schools for bible study are now
being organized, and rondti ted after
the manner of the day school, with a
regular amount of work to be accom
plished.
We may not be able to revolutionize
ourS. S. in this way, but the past six
months we have had excellent oppor
tunities to develop scientific bible study
from a historical stand-point, from a
character standpoint, and from the
standpoint of some topics.
One thing is surely in our power, we
may each of us be ourselves, what we
wish the members of the S. S. to be
come, systematic bible students. To
thiB end, let us make the prayer of the
Psalmist our own: "Open thou mine
eyeB
that I may behold wordrous things
out of thy law."
OLD SETLEK8' REUNION.
MAROARF.T BT.AIH.
Tills paper was not road at the Reunion.
Early in the spring of 1854 my hus
band David J. Blair, of Hartland, Hur
on county, Ohio, started west to find a
location to settle where he could
In the spring of 1855 Mr. Blair with
his family started for the new Eldorado
by train, reaching Elgin, Illinois, early
in April, where we were met by fturteam
which had left Ohio the fall before,
driven by our son Charles, who remained
through the winter in southern Wiscon
sin. After a short rest hero we started
by team for Iowa, crossing, the Missis
sippi river at Dubuque and arriving at
Deacon Robinson's, a mile north of
Edgewood on the 28th of Aprii, 1855.
Here we remained for a few days get
ting the bearing of the new country and
that spring planting a few acres of corn
on the Hardin place joining Deacon
Robinson's to the west. After leaving
Deaoon Robinson's we moved into
house known afterward as the "Blair
Cave" on Sildon Bush's place on the
county line one mile west of Edgewood.
It was only 14x18 feet square anc had no
floors.
We had no houshold goods,
had been shipped from Nowallt, Ohio,
by rail and we did not get them If
or sev
eral weeks. We had no stove (ui
ourgoodg came) so we built a place ^ut
side for afire place, borrowed ^kettle
and a dripping pan, fixed upj a dry
goods box for a cupboard, got a few
slabs out of which we made a table and
benches for chairs. In this way
lived until our goods got to Dupuque,
when we went after them, and was bet
ter fixed but notwithstanding these
privations we were never hapBier as
everything was new to us and thoVoun
try looked beautiful. Mr. Blair found
an old shanty near by, which he con
verted into a cooper shop and as soon
as his tools came (with onr goods) he
went to work in the shop. He got all
the work he could do, as there was no
cooper here than.
Here we remained the first winter
during which we were getting out tim
ber for the first house built the next
spring on the homestead, a building
long since gone to decay. This first
winter was the finest we ever exper
ienced in Iowa. It was pleasant and
not very cold.
Early in the spring of 1850 we moved
to our new home. Just having had a
few acres of breaking done by Alden
Pierce, we put in a few acres of wheat
in Norman Piatt's place near the Bay
Stale Tavern on the oounty road, two
miles west of Edgewood. We now be
gan to feel like living again, as we were
settled on our own place, but while it
was a beautiful place with much to en
joy, there were also many hardships to
endure, and especially during the rigid
winter months following. Our house
was a good log one, but wood was
scarce and along distanco to haul, so
we had pretty hard times for the first
few winters.
About the first of August, of our first
summer here, a clamity fell on our
little community in the shape of
cholera. A short time before William
Stewart came west from New York
State. On his way he and his family
put np at a hotel where a cholera pa
tient had just died. They came in to
Little York (close by where we lived) aud
after they got here his wife oame down
with the cholera. A few days after
wards they sent for one our girls
to wait on her, my daughter Iva went
and so did Mary Howe. Mr. Stewarl'
two little girls was taken with it on
Sunday morning and died before night.
My daughter and Miss Howe put them
in their coffins on Tuesday night. Iva
ahd Mary Howe took the oholeru,
Mary died at half past six o'clock the
next morning and Iva died at half past
ten the same morning, this was on the
18th of August. There were in ull
twelve cases of cholera in that neighbor
hood and nine deaths, Mrs. Field and
little daughter died with it. There were
three corpse taken to the grave yard in
one day. This spread a black cloud
over the community and created a great
panic in our little settlement.
We had lots of blizzards after
the first winter we came here
During many of the frequent blizzards
it was as much as one's life was worth
to go from the house to the barn and
many people lost their lives lhat were
obliged to leave home or thai were
caught out away from home during
these storms.
After the country became settled and
the roads ienoed so they were not so
easily lost in a storm, the fatalities be
came less frequent and later on, after
shade tiees were planted and the couu
try woll improved, the fearful blizzard
became a thing of the past and our
present generation of young folks little
know what hardships their forefathers
had to endure. With the hardships and
trials endured the first few years, my
husband, already broken down in
health, was taken sick in the fall of
MN1, abd ha *u tak»n from us the lsti
the timo ho was most needed. This
was aout the breaking out of the Civil
War and soon after our eldest son, then
living at home, enlisted, leaving mo
with only my son Miles, then a little
boy, to look after the place, which we
soon had to leave, being obliged to rent
it to others. We pulled through this
severe trouble, however, and year by
get
oheaper aud better land than could be
had in that state. The first stop was
made in Gratiot county, Michigan the
next in Walworth county, Wisconsin,
thence to Dubuque, Iowa, where his old
Ohio neiKhbor Capt. West, put him on
to the fact that the very finest prairie
land In the world was for sale by the
government in Delaware county a J1.25
per acre. He and his son-in-law Edwin
Thomas, made the trip by team to Dei
aware county, were yory much im
pressed by the beautiful prairie and lo
cated half a section each, Mr. Blair's
section being the one on which the old
Blair homestead now owned by Miles
E. Blair still stands.
