Do you mark your Bible in your daily reading? One good way is to compare what you are reading, verse by verse, with the accurate version by Mr. Darby. Only such changes need be marked as give a distinctly different meaning. If a number is put by the word, and on the margin the same number is written, with the changed word, you will have before you many helpful alterations, with which you will thus become more familiar in your study of the Word. Those who are becoming familiar with the Greek, will be able occasionally to write in the same way the word in the original. Thus, in Matt. 24:3, the margin could show that the word for "world" is αv, or age; in John 21:15 for "lovest" could be written άγαπς, and in the same verse for "I love," the word would be φιλ. In this way you would gradually find helpful suggestions.

Another helpful way of marking is to write in the divisions of the book, and the subdivisions. There is nothing more helpful than to make your own divisions, the result of study and examination, but for permanent entry in the margin, it will be found that the divisions of the Numerical Bible are clear, accurate and illuminating.

You had better not attempt too much at a time; what is done, let it be neatly and with care. India ink and a suitable pen are all that is required, also a short ruler, if you underscore words, or join them with another part of the page. The old motto, "No day without a line," will yield, if followed out, gratifying results in due time.
