It Is One Book.—“It is a well-known fact that the severest test of a railroad engineer relates to the question of his ability not to take his engine apart, but to assemble its parts together if once they are disjoined. The good colored brother was perhaps cognizant of this fact who remarked of the critical attempts of his own pastor: ‘He can take the Bible apart as good as any man I ever seed, but he can’t put it together again.’ It is a pity that anybody should want to take such a grand old Book apart. But the Bible can never really be dismembered and destroyed.”—New York Observer. And why?—The Word of God is bound together by the one life.
