THE BIBLE.

THE charge has been made by skeptics that the Bible will not stand investigation, and that in order to believe, the Gospel preachers must take a partisan and one-sided view. We deny any such absurd charge. The Bible is itself a book of investigation, and it challenges the investigation of the critics of the world, as it has done from the beginning. The proof of its truthfulness is sufficiently established by the fact that it has stood all tests. It stands to-day unshaken in spite of the fact that shrewd men have investigated it and criticized it in all ages. The Bible is the fairest book ever written. The cold, cruel truth is told, even about the Lord's elect. There is no attempt at concealment. Both sides of the story are told, nothing concealed, nothing extenuated. If there is one great, important lesson that this Book of God teaches, it is the lesson of fairness. It enjoins and encourages every man to get all the facts to be obtained, to give them intelligent consideration, weigh them in the scales of his judgment, and then draw his conclusions.—Richmond Times.
