We wrote to a Bible Student asking if the beautiful change in the revised version from the “eyes of your understanding” to the “eyes of your heart,” in Ephesians 1:1818The eyes of your understanding being enlightened; that ye may know what is the hope of his calling, and what the riches of the glory of his inheritance in the saints, (Ephesians 1:18), (the Chapter to be read for June 18) had been noticed, but received word back that it had not, that day being one of those on which the reading of the word had been neglected!
We would ask our readers to study with great care the valuable article on the use of the word “World” throughout the Scriptures now appearing in the “Y. B.”
We have received 66 Bible Questions from a correspondent in Zurich who will excuse us for not answering more than 12 each month until they are finished.
Many of our correspondents must have very interesting notes and jottings on the margins of their Bibles. We should be glad to receive them that they may be inserted for the good of others. It is not well to keep good things to ourselves.
We are compelled to make this number also 24 pages, chiefly owing to the large number of Bible Queries, and we should very much like to keep it this size, so as to be able to continue the articles now appearing monthly. To do this, however, without incurring a serious loss to the publishers, the circulation must be considerably increased, and we would therefore earnestly trust that our readers will use every endeavor to make the magazine known. We should much regret to have to curtail the space allotted to the Bible Queries.
“One who desires to learn more,” (see The Note Book, “Young Believer” for April) writes as follows:— “I feel more and more that terrible ignorance of the Word is at the bottom of much evil amongst young christians, and just where one would least expect it, because it is often assumed they know things when they live among those who are well taught. They never really learn anything to which they have not given time and thought in studying the Bible for themselves.” We hope our readers will lay these weighty words to heart.
