The Bible and Life

By Joseph Parker

THE Bible flies, flies over all nations, and showers down upon listening generations the music of heaven. The Bible only needs to be compared with other books. It asks for nothing but to be read. Other religions are poetry, idealism, struggles after the impossible. The revelation of God is poetry also, and philosophy, the highest, sublimest reasoning; but if it were only that, we might lose it. In addition to that it comes down into the life, strengthening, succoring, comforting, directing, and making good all the outline, all the substance, and all the essence of life.
