MANY persons in these days are saying and writing much against the Bible as our fathers knew it, on which their souls were fed, and which strengthened and encouraged them in the trials which fall to the lot of all. Let me ask these souls one question.
Take from us the belief in the Bible, the Saviour from sin which it reveals, the Friend and Helper in all days of trial and darkness, the hope of seeing Him when He comes, and of greeting our loved ones who have entered the dark river of death—take all this from us, and what have you to give us in its place?
We who have for fourscore years trusted that word ask the question.
Of the blessed home beyond, that Book says: "Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love Him."
What can the Bible critics give us in exchange for this hope?
