The Ubiquitous Bible.—There is no book on earth that has furnished the forceful figures, the clear, direct language that the Bible has. Were it not divine, this would indeed be a wonder. All writers of good English use it. These thoughts are suggested by an article in a recent great magazine which pleads for improvement in agricultural lands, rather than to use money in speculation; and says that "such improvement would make living cheaper and life happier, and life would be put on a sure economic basis," and closes by saying, "Moth does not corrupt that; nor can thieves break through and steal; nor can change nor circumstance nor panic take it away." Of course this is speaking in an

accommodated sense, for even land itself is not sure in this world. Our Lord uses the figure to show us something of far more worth than anything that men can get in this life, whether land or gold.
