THE SUNDAY CIRCLE

RELIGIOUS READING FOR THE HOME AWAKE! AWAKE!Awake! awake! thou heavy sprite That sleep'st the deadly sleep of sin Rise now, and walk the ways of light! •Tis not too late yet to begin. Seek Heaven early! Seek it late! True Faith still fii ds an .pen gate. Get up! get up! thou leaden man! Thy track to,endless joy or pain Yields but the model of a span Yet burns out thy life's lamp in vain! One minute bounds thy bane or .; bliss: „• • ~,,.« Then watch and labour, while time is. ■■«■*• —Thomas Campion. PRAYER O «God, Whose Spirit moves in the dark regions of man's soul like the wind that bloweth and is still; let the breathing of Thy Holy Thought move inwardly upon us; and let iny Diving Light illumine our minds; that we may be turned from gazing upon things that are passing by, o contemplate that world eternal, and the bright glory of it, which Thou showest to the humble; through Jesus Chrut our Lord. Amen. FOR EACH DAY'S MEDITATION "LIGHT AND LIFE" Sunday.—" Light is sown for the righteous, and gladness for the upright in heart. Rejoice in the. Lord, ye righteous, and give thanks at the remembrance of His holiness."—Psalm xcvii, 11 and 12. Monday.—" Jesus said I am the light of the world, he that followeth Me shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the light of life."—John viii, 12. • "I am come that they might have life."—Johi. x, 10.. ... . ■. Tuesday.—" I am come - light in the world that whosoever belleveth on Me, should" not abide in darkness."—John xii, 46. : ' ,",Let not your, heart be troubled, ye believe in God, believe also in Me." - John xiv.l. .••• • '■ Wednesday.—" Jesus said, I am the way, and the truth, and the life; no man Cometh unto the Father but by Me. '. ■

"Peace, I'leave with you, my peace I give unto you; not as the world giveth give I unto you."—John xiv, 6 and 27. Thursday.—" Blessed are they that have not seen, and yet have believed. " But these are written, that ye might believe, that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, and that believing ye might have life through His name."— John xx, 29-30. Friday.—"lt shall come to pass that whosoever shall call on the name of the Lord shall be saved. . y " Thou hast made known to me the ways of life. Thou shalt make me full of jov with Thy countenance."— Acts ii, 21 and 28. Saturday.—" These things write we unto you that your joy may be full. "This then is the message which we have heard of Him. and declare unto you. that God is light, and in Hini is no darkness at all."—1 John i, 4 and 5.—H. R. Higgens, in A.C.W. THE NEW PAGANISM An exposure of what he termed "the new paganism" was made by Professor John Baillie in May, when he lectured in Edinburgh on "The Secularists Forces in the World of Today" He declared that it was coming to be realised more and more that the outlook was best described as secularism —the tendency of people to find interest and,satisfaction in life for its own sake rather than as a preparation for eternity. They found significance in the earthly scene apart from its mysterious and divine background. A pagan might not necessarily mean a man who had no god, but/rather one who had too many gods—false gods! Such a tendency was discovered in much .odern literature. Baillie urged the need for r> return to a simple, surer faith and principle in what constituted religion. . SOME MISTAKES

Copying a manuscript is always a hazardous business. This is especially true if the passage to be copied is a long and difficult one. No matter how careful the scribe may be, he cannot escape making some errors. For this reason passages giving vastly different readings are found in some of the Bibles. Printers, too, sometimes make mistakes in setting the type, and these are occasionally missed by the proofreader. 1 In a Bible dated 1653 two examples may be mentioned. In Psalm cxix, 161, the Printer's Bible reads: "Printers have persecuted me without a cause', while 1 Cnr. vi. 9 says: " Know ye not that the unrighteous shall inherit the kingdom of heaven? " In the Geneva Whig Bible a misprint makes Matthew v, 9 say: " Blessed are th° place makers." THE BACK PEW Why do so many people attending church prefer to sit in the back pew--? asks the vicar of St. Michael's Church. Liverpool, in a London contemporary. Th" custom—or habit—is not confined 1o England. In a " wee kirk " the other Sunday I observed that four or five pews were fairly well filled—the pews in front were almost empty. Of course, it may be due to modesty—perhaps. At the same time, I think that, for the benefit of the preacher, it would be better to have the front pews well filled, says a writer in the Australian Christian World. CHRISTIAN SCIENCE CHURCHES "Man" is the subject of the'lessonsermon in all Churches of Christ. Scientist, to-morrow. The golden text is "As many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God" (Romans viii, 14). Among the citations which comprise the lesson-sermon' are the following from the Bible: " What is man. that Thou art mindful of him? and the son of man. that Thou visitest him? Thou madest him to have dominion over the works of Thy hands: Thou hast put all things under his feet." (Psalms viii. 4. 6). The lesson-sermon also contains the following .passage from the Christian Science textbook. " Science and Health with Kr-v to the Scriptures," by Mary Baker E:My: " Entirely separate from the belief and dream of material living is the Life divine, revealing spiritual understanding and the consciousness of man's dominion over the whole earth."
