Reading the Bible
(by J.C. Ryle)
(Continued from last week)
5. READ THE WHOLE BIBLE AND READ IT IN AN ORDERLY WAY.
“All Scripture is given by inspiration of God and is profitable.” I know of no
better way to read the Bible than to start at the beginning and read straight
through to the end, a portion ever day, comparing Scripture with Scripture.
6. READ THE WORD OF GOD FAIRLY AND HONESTLY.
As a general rule, any passage of Scripture means what it appears to mean.
Interpret every passage in this simple manner, in its context.
7. READ THE BIBLE WITH CHRIST CONSTANTLY IN VIEW.
The whole Book is about Him. Look for Him on every page. He is there. If you
fail to see Him there, you need to read that page again.

Summer brings new insect risks
With summer now upon us, it is
time to remember how to prevent
getting West Nile Virus from
mosquitoes. But there’s also a new
emerging disease from ticks.
Lyme disease is an infection
caused by bacteria that is carried by
ticks, which can be found
throughout Ontario. While most
people have not heard of this
disease, there has been an increase
in Lyme disease cases in Ontario.
Early signs and symptoms of
Lyme disease include fever,
headache, fatigue, muscle and joint
pains. There is also a skin rash in the
shape of a bull’s eye. Public Health
Inspector Colleen Ryan says if you
have these symptoms seek medical
attention. Be sure and tell your
health care provider if you have
recently been in any wooded areas.
If untreated, Lyme disease may lead
to serious complications.
Lyme disease is spread by the bite
of deer ticks. The small black-
legged ticks cannot fly, but settle on
tall grasses and bushes until they
attach themselves to a person or
animal passing by.
Ryan says it’s important to take
precautions when walking into any
wooded area to prevent tick bites.
“You can get protection from Lyme
disease as well as West Nile Virus by
following a few simple measures.”
• Wear white or light-coloured
clothing which makes it easier to
spot and remove ticks.
• Wear long sleeve shirts and long
pants to prevent mosquito and tick
bites.
• Wear closed footwear and socks,
tuck pants into socks.
• Stay on paths where possible.
• Wear insect repellent with DEET.
• At home, shake clothes outside
and check your body for ticks.
• Brush and examine dogs for ticks
to avoid bringing the pests into the
home to bite people later or infect
the pet.
If you notice a tick on your body,
use tweezers to remove it. The tick
needs to be grasped by its front end
as close to the skin as possible. It
then needs to be pulled out gently
but firmly. The tick should be saved
in a jar and taken to your healthcare
provider for testing.
Ryan says by following these
simple steps, you can help keep your
family safe this summer season. The
health unit’s website has
more information on West Nile
Virus and Lyme disease:
