KING GEORGE

The Action of a Leader.

People, you have heard of an important matter that is being dealt with at present. It is not a new matter, but during this time of war, that is, just recently it has occupied the thoughts of the leaders of the English Empire. That matter is something we are very familiar with – the prohibition of alcohol. Perhaps you will tell us to take on a different issue saying that it is an issue of the past. But we would make it clear to you that although the issue is an old one it is one that comes up in different ways at various times.

THE HOLY BIBLE (II)

This name, the Bible, is not used in the books of the Old Testament or the New Testament. One important name used in the Old Testament is ‘the Law of Jehovah’ [the LORD], which a person is to hold to if he wishes to be blessed by God. This is the thing for which people were condemned by the prophets – not listening to the instruction of the Lord (Isaiah 30.9). That person is blessed ‘who delights in the law of the Lord and who meditates on that law day and night.’ (Psalm 1.2)

THE HOLY BIBLE.

‘The Bible is a great treasure.’ Perhaps all of us would be quick to agree with this saying. But were we asked why it is said to be a great treasure most would be perplexed to give an answer. There are some who do not know what things are found in the Bible but have only heard vague references to it. Some hear with their ears when some chapters are read in church but their minds are wandering elsewhere and they do not grasp what they are hearing with their ears;
