The Second Lesson
&IL—This article was most helpful and interesting. I have often felt' how much more intelligible the lessons would be—both from the Old and New Testaments which are read in churches—if a short explanation was given by the reader of the circumstances, background and occasion of the lection. This, I believe, is already the practice in some churches, and helps to make the reading more understandable and most to the hearers. Such a procedure would, of course, have to be most carefully done and prepared beforelland. So many churchgoers have the most foggy conception as to what the lessons are meant to teach, and this practice might help to clear up some of the difficulties and make for a more intelligent appreciation of the Word of God.—Yours faithfully, C. 0.
