Close Connection.

By George Frederick Pentecost

THE engineers who directed the work of the Hoosac tunnel started two gangs of men from opposite sides of the mount. So accurate was their survey, that when they met midway in the mount, the walls of the excavations, approaching from the different starting-points, joined within less than an inch. The practical working of the bore proved the scientific accuracy of the survey. Man, starting from the side of his human need, reaching upward toward God, is met by the revelation in Christ coming down from God, a revelation that exactly fits his need. This perfect match between the human need and the heavenly supply is the perfect proof of the divine origin of the Bible.—G. F. Pentecost.
