The Book Bad Men Hate.

By Charles Henry Parkhurst

ONE reason why we believe the Bible is the word of God, is the extraordinary and indefatigable pains taken by men of obscure integrity to get rid of the Bible. The things that bad men hate, it will, as a rule, be safe for good men to believe in. Men's hearts stain through into their philosophy. It never ceases to be true that every one that doeth evil hateth the light, lest his deeds should be reproved. Light always shows the spots. Bad men congregate under the shadows. Men like to have the Bible vilified because it eases a little the pressure on their conscience. It is always possible to gather an audience to listen to an unbeliever.—C. H. Parkhurst.
