FAMILY BIBLE READING.

[To THE EDITOR Or rue " SPECTATOR."] SIE,—The groat importance of the above (and its neglect) is my only excuse for an addition to the corresponUence. May I suggest :—

"(1) Provide large print Bibles. To follow the text helps to keep the attention. (2) Keep it short. It is a busy time of the day, especially to servants.

(3) Do not read a whole chapter unless it is all on one subject.

(4) Some prefer the Revised to the Authorized Version, or a 'modern English translation, e.g., Weymouth's or Moffat's, may help to explain difficult passages.

(5) Read slowly, attend to stops."
