HANDBOOK ON GEOGRAPHY.

WE heard a minister say from the pulpit the other Sabbath, "I would not go to the Bible to study geography." If he had said "modern geography," it would be true. But, as a matter of fact, the Bible is the best book on ancient geography known. There is no better handbook for modern Palestine now than the old Bible. If you are going to visit either Egypt or Palestine, you will find your Bible your best guidebook. You cannot convict Moses and Joshua and the authors of the historical books of making even geographical mistakes. The Bible is the very best text-book on even geography for all those lands, in the centuries during which it was composed.—The Occident.
