Rescue the Perishing: Personal Work Made Easy
Seibert, Fred R.
Bible -- Indexes
*2nd.* Learn it. Don’t get a faint, indefinite idea of it. *Take no
“snap shot” but give it a “time exposure.”* If you want to remember any
text in after years as well as at the present time, let it make a deep,
clear, vivid impression on your mind.
*3rd.* There are a great many “methods” or “schemes” of memorizing
advanced in this day of ours, but the writer’s opinion is that the best
way of memorizing is to *get to work and do it*. If it is easily
acquired by some easy method, you may depend on it that *it will be as
easily lost*.
*4th.* Read the verses over twenty times, close your Bible, see if you
can repeat it correctly, *then to be sure, read* it again. *I have made
a practice of writing out on paper* the passages to be memorized. *Once
writing the verse is worth a dozen repetitions of it by mouth*. In
Joliet after talking on personal work one night a lady came to me and
said “How did you memorize so many passages of scripture to meet the
difficulties?” I said to her, “Did you ever ride on the train?” “Oh yes,
hundreds of times." “Did you notice the brakeman come in and call out
the station? How did he know it was the right station? He went over that
road every day, and that is what you and I have to do.
*5th. Review, Review, Review.* That’s the secret of memorizing. *Review*
every *day*. *Review* every *week*. *Review* every *year*. *Review,
Review, Review*.
How many people you hear saying: “I know the verse one day but forget it
the next.” *Well you need to review, that’s all*.
*6th.* Use the passages of Scripture. Seek occasions for talking to
persons who have difficulties. *Practice! Practice!! Practice!!!* That’s
what the *lawyer*, *preacher*, and *doctor* have to do, and that is what
I had to do. Be “seasonable” or “unseasonable,” in season or out of
season, only *seek* your *opportunity* to *practice*.
*7th.* Will you join the author in committing to memory the Gospel of
St. John in a year? Learn three verses a day and review constantly
until a chapter is repeated at one time?
Thy word have I hid in mine heart, that I might not sin against thee.
_Psalms 119:11._
Scriptures, The.
*The word of God our TESTIMONY.*
*THE WORD OF GOD IS YOUR TESTIMONY.*
BE *ready* ALWAYS to *give* an *answer* to *every man* that *asketh* you
a *reason of the hope* that is in you with *meekness* and *fear*.
_I Peter 3:15._
WHOSOEVER therefore *shall confess me before men*, him will *I confess
also before my Father* which is in *heaven*.
_Matthew 10:32._
BUT *whosoever* shall *deny me before men* him will *I also deny before
my Father* which is in *heaven*.
_Matthew 10:33._
