ANNUAL BIBLE SUNDAY
A universal Bible Sunday, a day
to be set. aside by the church worl»l
of America, was endorsed in a reso
lution adopted at the missionary
conference in Moody church, at
Chicago last June, held in connec
tion with, the International Sunday
School Convention.
The resolution follows: —
"Believing that in this crisis of
the world's history the truth and j
authority, the unity and the su- I
preme educational value of the Holy |
Scripture should be maintained mo»e
faithfully than ever, we most heart- j
ily approve the propositi for an an
nual Bible day, and recommend its |
suitable observance in the churches
and Sunday schools of North Ameri- i
ca.'*
The following reasons were given
for the resolution;—
"At present there is no provision
in the schema of Sunday school
lecsous for a periodical review of
the Scriptures as a whole, and it
Is suggested that the third Suuday
before Christmas be taken as an an
nual review day, when the Bible
shall be the special subject of con
sideration, not only in the Sun
day schools, but in the press, in
the churches and wherever men
meet, to the end that there may
be the widest challenge for its ac
ceptance of the word of the living
God.
"That this should be observed on
one common day throughout the
world will appear in studying the
history of Christmas. Though the
observance of Christmas can be trac
ed back to the second century, that
joyful festival was at first celebrat
ed at various times of the year from
November on till May, just as the
idea occurred to the scattered com
munities of christians, and the day
Only became universally honored
among christian people when, in
the fifth century, an agreement was
reached between the eastern aQd
western churches to recognize a
common date.
"For a uumher of years past in
various parts of the world, the idea
of an annual Bible day has bee.i
making its way. It has been ob
served sporadically in Great Brit
ain, the United States, Canada.
Australia, south Africa and in the
mission churches of North Africa.
It has been established in places
in China, while in Korea it is cele
brated on a national scale, and in
1912 was made the occasion of
general thanksgiving to commemo
rate the completion of the Bible in
the Korean language. In parts
of India it has become an import
ant annual event, and it is note
worthy that in a number of cases
the Hindoos and Mohammedans
have joined the christains in pay
ing honor to the Bible and its teach
ings.
"As was the case when Christ
mas began to be celebrated, there
is as yet no consensus of action as
to the date of annual Bible day, but
with such an agreement christians
in every land will be one in this
as they are ttoe world over in the
celebration of Christmas. Last
year In. Canada the five principal
denominations of christians at their
convention in Toronto and elsewhere
joined in approving of the third
Sunday before Christmas. One
consideration leading to this agree
ment was that for a number of
years past a Bible Sunday has been
observed in the churches of New
York, and other places, on the first
Sunday in December, in commemo
ration of the rounding of the Bibl9
society there, and because in a
cycle of sev-n years this anniversary
would coincide four times with the
second Sunday in Advent of the
Episcopal church of the United
States and the Anglican churches of
the British Empire, at which time
special acknowledgement is made
of the divine authority and inspira
tion of the Script utss.
"The third Sunday before Christ
mas seems naturally indicate^, not
only because it takes advantage of
a usage already well established in
many parta of the warld, but be
cause, for statistical purposes, it
affords time to gather the results of
the annual work of the world's prin
cipai Bible societies, missionary so
cieties and other organizations
specially related to the spread of
the Gospel. A day devoted to the
review of the Word of God should
be separate and free from the dis
tractions of other annual events.
Therefore it should not coincide
with the close of the calendar year,
because then the attention of the
press and public is taken up with
retrospects of the scientific, fin
ancial, commercial and other mater
ial affairs of the world.
"What should be the effect of
such an annual review of the Bible
when it becomes universally cele
brated? Is it not reasonable to ex
pect that if all people can be in
duced to think of the same thing
at the same time, such concentration
of thought will lead to a more
earnest investigation of the subject,
and when applied to the Bible it
must lead to a more reverent study
and a deeper understanding of i's
eternal truths. This annual re
view will increase in its appeal to
the intelligence of mankind as
time goes on, for new wonders
will appear in the advance of its
great mission and in the remark
able growth of its circulation and
translation into new languages."
