apportion out the list. If any one is prepared to allocate them voluntarily the cost would

be little, if each enclosed a stamped addressed envelope for reply. Each one could say

how many he is prepared to correspond with, and the topics that specially interest him, if

he wishes to follow these up. The correspondent would still be free to write to the Editor

if he desired. There would be no bands, bonds, badges, or ties of any sort: only that of

mutual fellowship in the study of God's Word.'

Yours in the Lord,

Let us know the result of your prayer over this matter.

We give below a digest of a letter received from a reader in China.

I suppose your correspondent --K. wishes to know what special Bible Studies are

occupying the minds of your readers. Since 1890 general knowledge of the Scriptures

has given place, in my case, to the following:--

1. The shape of composition, in whole and parts, of Epistles and Psalms.

Founded on works of Thos. Boys (1824, 1825) and R. B. Roe (1857).

Noting pronouns "we" and "you" in Prison Epistles; the grouping of

participles and finite verbs; synonymous use of pairs of prepositions and

cases. Place and relation of every word "for."
