BIBLE CONFERENCE AT BEVERLY FARMS. 
Quarterly Meeting of the Baptist Churches of Manchester, Beverly, Wenham 
and Beverly Farms. 
The quarterly meeting of the Baptist 
churches of Manchester, Beverly, Wen- 
ham and Beverly Farms was held Thurs- 
day afternoon with the church at Beverly 
Farms. ‘The meeting took the form of 
a Bible Conference. ‘The subject was 
**The Bible in the Home, in the Church 
and in the World-Wide Field.”’ 
Rev. Frank Parker of the Wenham 
church spoke on the phase of the subject 
*“The Bible and Home,’’ in which he 
said in part: 
**'To fulfill the mission divinely in- 
tended the Bible must not only be kept 
in the house, but must be accepted as 
the supreme authority there. - It is the 
word of God, who is the lawful ruler of 
all hearts, and this fact must be fully rec- 
ognized if the Bible is to govern your 
home and mine.’’ He developed the 
subject along the line of these four 
thoughts: 1. If the Bible is to rule the 
home its Divine authority must be rec- 
ognized. 
2. If the Bible is to rule the home 
its chief character must be known and 
honored by the inmates. 
3. If the Bible is to rule the home it 
must be reverently perused, and not 
merely by ene member of the household 
at the family alter, but by each individual 
for himself. 
4. If the Bible is to rule the home its 
precepts must be obeyed. When one 
man obeys another it is implied that he 
subjects his will to the will of the other 
and works in harmony with its demands. 
** The Bible and Missions’? was dis- 
cussed by Rev. Carey W. Chamberlin of 
Beverly. He said that the religion of 
the Bible is world wide in its scope. 
The promise made to Abraham conclud- 
ed with ‘‘In thee shall all the nations of 
the earth be blessed.’’ ‘The Messianic 
Psalms are full of the prediction of world 
wide dominion for the Lord’s Annointed. 
The prophets show the vision of all the 
nations brought under the beneficent 
sway of the Messiah. In the New 
Testament the prelude of the angelic an- 
nouncement of the Savior’s birth was 
** Fear not for behold I bring you good 
tidings of great joy which shall be to all 
people.’’ In Jesus’ teachingthe Gospel 
is always for all men. ‘This is seen in 
the model prayer, in his parables and in 
his final instructions. The Acts record 
the spread of the early church, under the 
guidance of the Holy Spirit, until it was 
planted in the centers of the known 
world. In the closing messages of Rev- 
elation we hear the chorus in which 
heaven and earth unite ‘‘The kingdom 
of the world has become the kingdom of 
our Lord and his Christ and he shall

reign forever.’’ The Bible from cover 
to cover is missionary. 
Rev. Theodore L. Frost of the Man- 
chester church spoke on ‘‘ The Bible in 
the Sunday School.’’ He treated with 
the Sunday School teacher and the Bible, 
the scholar and the Bible, and the super- 
intendent and the Bible. He spoke of 
the importance of preparing the lesson 
for the class before Saturday night and in 
teaching the Bible, the Bible should be 
taught and not athletics or science or 
philosophy; these thinys are to be used 
only so far as they illustrate the lesson. 
It should be taught in sucha manner that 
the scholars should have a glimpse of the 
Christ. It should be taught in the power 
of the holy Spirit. Much that has been 
said as to the teacher is applicable in re- 
gard to the scholar. The Bible should 
be studied at the home before it is studied 
in the class. There is an old song 
“© Nothing but Leaves.’’ It applies too 
often to our Bible School. The Bible 
which should be in the hands of every 
scholar is replaced by leaves, single leaves 
some times, other times by quarterlies, 
which the scholar some times leaves be- 
hind him. ‘The superintendent should 
use some portions of the scripture, in re- 
sponsive or in unison, during the Sunday 
School lesson, and at the close of the 
Sunday School hour either the superin- 
tendent or the pastor should give a Bible 
*“chaulk talk,’? using the outline draw- 
ing furnished by some publisher or free 
hand drawing, thus enforcing the Bible 
lesson. 
In the evening a Young People’s Rally 
was held, the various C. E. societies of 
the district being represented by delega- 
tions. Rev. Dr. James A. Frances of 
the Clarendon street church, Boston, 
was the speaker of the evening. The 
meeting was at 7.30 0’clock. 
After afew introductory remarks by 
the Pastor, Rev; 42-6 8! Ponte bn 
Frances told the young people about 
winning souls to Christ, using Christ as 
an example. His theme was from John 
4. ‘*J had rather bea winner of souls,”’ 
he said, “‘then anything else. Jesus 
Christ was the great master who won 
souls. He was the only perfect man 
thatlived. He had no prejudices, and 
he always took the straight road.”’ 
After drawing a character sketch of 
the woman of Samaria he said there were 
two points to notice. 
First, she did not understand the figure 
which Jesus used about the living water; 
second, that whileshe did not understand 
what he said, it was in the way he said 
it, She was won by the kindness of 
Jesus before she really knew him. We — 
try to win souls but we blunder. We 
seem to drive people farther away from 
God. It. is the heart that draws people 
near to God. ‘‘ They that worship him 
must worship him in spirit and in truth.’’ 
Dr. Frances said in closing ‘‘ Religion 
is personal, face to face acquaintance 
with Jesus Christ; religion is not beliey- 
ing in a certain creed and then hiding it; 
itis having a personal acquaintance with - 
; 
;

God. May you all become winners to ~ 
Christ and to his Kingdom.”’ :
