Overview

"Transcripts from Tape of the Month. ""Man doth not live by bread only, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of Jehovah doth man live.""-Deuteronomy 8:3.Thus is it asserted that the WORD and the WORDS of Jehovah constitute the food of the New nature. As in the natural sphere so in the spiritual, the desire (or appetite) for the food which is the proper support of each respectively, is the sign of natural and spiritual health. Attention to diet is becoming more and more recognized as essential to nutrition and growth.A low condition of bodily health is produced by inattention to the laws of nature as to suitable diet. As this leads to the ""drug habit,"" or to the immoderate use of stimulants in the natural sphere, so it is in the spiritual sphere. A low condition of spiritual health is produced by improper feeding or the neglect of necessary food, which is the Word of God; and the end is a resort to all the many modern fashions and novel methods and widely advertised nostrums in the Religious world in the attempt to remedy the inevitable results.The Root of all the evils which abound in the spiritual sphere at the present day lies in the fact that the Word and the words of God are not fed upon, digested, and assimilated, as they ought to be. If we ask the question, Why is this the case? the answer is, The Bible is not enjoyed because the Bible is not understood. The methods and rules by which alone such an understanding may be gained are not known or followed; hence the Bible is a neglected book.The question Philip addressed to the Eunuch (Acts 8:30,31) is still greatly needed: Understandest thou what thou readest?And the Eunuch's answer is only too true to-day: How can I, except some man should guide me?The following pages are transcripts about Bible Study with the object of furnishing a ""How To Guide."" Certain canons or principles are laid down, and each is illustrated by applying them to certain passages by way of examples. These are intended to be taken only as examples; and the principles involved are intended to be used for the elucidation of other passages in the course of Bible study."
