DRi H ER B ER T ’S SUGGESTION '“ I t [is lamentably true that to-day the Bible


means little to our people; evei, amongW regular churoh^oers .the! reading of I : has-grievously deolined ahd ignorance of its teabhingjis one of the iniiili causes of religious wpakness.” I ■ ; ! Thesp words of the Bishop otBlackbtim iccur


in thelMarch issue of the'Blaickbuni {Diocesan Leaflet] in -which Dr. Herbert! referring t^ the forthboping fourth centenary [of the Refc^rnm- tion, states, as far as the Reformation hi England was cohoerned,'ah event of prime importance was the issue of the Injunctions of 16'38 for a Bible in. Englisli'to be'set.up in every parish phhrch that all might rend it.


. ! ' ' | , “ Here,,.'therefore, is the point/of our coin-


melnoration this? year,:’ writes the: .Bishop. “But the mere.'commemoratibriof'aii Kiatoric fact would be: a barren thing. The putipose!is to bring back' the! Bible to: ourj people' as {their precious heritage from God, to helpj thein to realise Jits value 'and-tb 'give 'it,: througli ,their reading of it, that place in their daily lives] that Bhall enable themtollveby it.’i ', '{ ! ;] ' .Aftei! deploring the: decline In .the heading of


the Bible, Dr! Herbert points.but that|this is at a tinle hhen the labours of spholars, summpning to theiij.aid mhehiew knowledge] haS;madB the Bible almuch more living book'tban ever before, full of just those lessons and that guidance] jdst that Divine revelation and that hupanh inspira­ tion wbich.are needed by modebi peoplejin.a: 'modenl world.''


' ■ ' ! ' ■' | • | •I He! suggests .that, as ohe partibf the prepard-,


tion for the commemoration of the Reformation, Lenten sermons might well be ttsed ascour^es'pf instnibl ion on the Bible, both in itself arid in out Englisn version. ;
