The Bible True.

THE following reasons are offered for believing that the WORD OF GOD, embraced in the Old and New Testaments is true:
1. It is true, because those books give the only rational account of creation.
2. It is true, because they give the best code of laws in the world.
3. It is true, because they tell of events to come with a certainty that silences all caviling.
4. It is true, because they describe the character of man, the thoughts and intents of the heart.
5. It is true, because there is a general harmony throughout the whole. In every page, in every book, we find the same important pillars of truth. We find the same God, the same Saviour, the same Spirit, the same faith, and the same hope described.
These things show that God is the author of the Bible; and that holy men spake, and wrote, as they were moved by the Holy Spirit.
