Time of Trouble
Lesson for I tU , UM
Th e r e is nothing modern about trouble. Nothing old-fashioned
either. You can’t be up-to-date In
any century U you
don’t know about
the troubles going
round. If you met
W illiam Shake*
speare and Julius
Caesar and Budd*
ha and Metbuse* lah all at once,
the one thing you
could all talk about and under* Dr. Forema*
stand one another perfectly (pro*, vided you spoke the same Ian*
guage) is Trouble.
F«an“We have nothing to fear ex*
cept fear itself.” sold a great Amcricfin President. That I*
sometimes true, but only when there is nothing really to be
afraid of. At any rate, ever
since the human race began, peo.
pie have been afraid both of what
was likely to happen and what not likely to happen. They have
been afraid of what was really
there, and afraid of ghosts born of their own imaginations. Fear
is not aU ba'tt; when it is no pnore than knowing the danger exists,
it is a good thing. It is good to
know that poisons hurt, that there
is a ditch across the highway,
that the curve ahead is a sharp
one. A healthy fear of such things
is good and keeps us alive. But there is fear which is paralysis,
“butterflies in the stomach,” first cousin to panic; and this kind
of fear only adda to whatever
danger or trouble there may be. Now we can read. In Psalm M.
that poet’s pointed words about fear; and It is plain that men in
his time had the tam e terrors
as ourselves. One feels here the
dread of violent ^change; and is
not exactly that, under its currcnt
form of communism, what we are
terrified of in our time? One feels tn this Psahn also the dread of
war; and in our times with the H*bomb and the C*bomb threat
ening us—not Just the boys that go to war. but every roan, wom
an and child on the planet—who
can sleep with an easy mind?
Lontllntii f
Another kind of trouble is lone
liness. Psalm 142 brings this out;
the writer felt that no one was
on his side, no one even cafed
whether he lived or died. He
speaks too of the worst ki^d of
loneliness—or one of the most
painful kinds—that Is to say* being in prison. We should re
member always that there are in this world today an
eighty million refugees, that is to
say, people who have Uterally no
home and are. perhaps for the
rest of their lives, strangers in
strange lands, people who live
behind barbed wire, people no* body wants. We cannot forget the
mlUions. of others who would per
haps rather be refugees, if they
dared, than live where and as
they have to live, as slaves of some police state, under the lash
of taskmasters from whom there is no appeal. But even if all the
cruel governments in the world
were abolished tonight: even if
all the millions of refugees tound
home and shelter; there still
would be as there have always
been, millions who could echo the Psalmist’s plaint, “No man cared
for my souL" Loneliness—the flrst
men knew ii, oa dark hunted nights in a wilderness they did
not understand and could not yet control: the last men will know
It, on a dark hunted day among the skyscrapers fleeing vainly
from the invisible poisons of fhe
radioactive air. And in between
the flrst men and the last, where
is the human being who has not
at some Ume or other felt himseU
deserted and alone?
M ItOurHtlplRTm lilfl
The Psalm-writera knew all this; and yet they could ting.
They sang because above aU the troubles of time they kept touch
with the eternal Ood. “He wiU
help," they said. How does God
help the believer in time of trouble? He does not always help by
keeping an ombreUa of miracle
over the heads of the saints. Not •
even Jesus was without tears and
death. Read these Psalms to see bow God was their “help in
ages past" as he Is 'for year* to come.” Men of faith, they were
able to rise under their troubles,
they found courage through con* tact with the God of all. They <
knew, as ’we sometimes forget,
that God made this worid, that
^ It is still His, that above all etrtti*
ly powers in His sovereign power;
that in His own time, in His 6Wn
way. His will be the victory.

At that time the Pacific North-
west waa covered with hardwood
foresU like those of the Missis*
slppl Valley today. Coastal south*
em California waa cavered with
subtropical forests, and today’s southern deserts were oak and pine
woodlands. During this era Nevada
had vegetation similar to that now found on the southwestern flank
at tha Sierra Nevada where red
wood and pines mingle with oaks and chaparral. The regkm had an
annual rainfall «f 25-M inches. Drainage waa westward to the
ocean. Today most of Nevada
drains Into low areaa wtthin the

moise. westerly winds, which car
ried rain to the Nevada area,
were blocked. ThH and other fac
tors caused the forests to die out and the region became desert.

Just exactly what I wanted.** And Ralf^ had to. a ^ , in hoo*

Well, who pui-. for It? Ralph
thought now. Sn long as they rui
what they wanted but did
they? Maybe Julie and Jim had
been trying to show him thal they wanted , something from him
Something he picked out. Rniph thought again of his boyhood prc.>;-
ents that had been made espe
cially for Itlm. Why. he realized ttial was what made them special
The children were right then AU he did was pay for their giri.^.
This year be could pay double and take a chance that he would
choose things they liked. It’ was subpased to be the, thought, not-
the ^Ift that counted anyway.
Why, last Christmas It was thfli Jim had given him thnt awftii

Getting The Spirit

would be practical or not. appre- elatad or not. Molly was first and
that waa easy for Ralph knew she had banted a watch for vears.
The children were harder. Julie was in college, ^ e ^lad .every

wasn!t entirely practical, < but he
knew It would be appreciated.

He bot^rht several rolls of fllm

Our Coiin£> And
Social Security
By Loute H. Clement, Manager.
I ain going to dwote this article
to a discussion of bow ihe 1954
amendments will aifect Govern*
meitt employees.' Onder the new
law, about ihr« and;, a half inll-
lion more Stale and local govern
ment employees iwill be eligible
for social security coverage for the
first time beginning ]im. 1, 1955.
In. the past, only those State
and local government employees
who were not under a Siate ot lo
cal retirement plan could be
brought li'nder the old-age and
survivors Insurance program at
the option of their State.
The new law makes it possible
for those who are under State or
Ipcal govemmeni systems to . fie
brought under the old-age and
survivors Insurance without dis
solving their retirement plan. This
means that these employees will
NOT lose the protection of the
State or local retirement system
The majority of the employees
uiider the existing retirement plan
must vote favorably for social set
curlty before they can be \>rought
under It. The eniplbyee* alieady
under a State or local retirement plan will be notified about the vo
ting at least 90 days before it is to
take place. And the vote will be
taken by secret written ballot. The
only State'or local groups not un
der the new law. are firemen and
policemen.

Th e worst trouble U not what
most people think. When you
say *‘il the woxst eotnes to 1h« worst," what do you mean? You
. usually mean that it J t comes to losing your Job. or
it we are defeat* ed In war, or it
you lose your
health, or-die. The inspired men who
wrote the Bible did not (hinit such
events were good; they did not pray
tor them to hap
pen b u t rath e r Dr> FeremM
that they would not happen. Still, as we saw last week, even in the
midst ot terrible troiibles they could sing because they knew that
God is over all and they telt
themselves on his side, at his side.
BrtakincWHtiQQ4
But what happens- when a man
cannot that.he Is on God's
side? How docs it feel to know
God is against you, not lor you?
How does it feel to be on the
other side ot a wail from God?
Some ot the Psalmists had been
through an experience which we
call by the simple name of Sin.
Now sin is not merely single acts,
it is the whole dark business of
breaking with God. Sin is the
state ot things when a man and God are no longer partners. Sin
is losing the one support a man
can count on in time o( trouble.
If the worst comes to the worst. It is not death or pain or failure
that is most to be feared, it is being loose and lost in the world
without God. God never breaks
with a man unless the man has broken ilrst. But vfhen a man
has as good as acted as if t^ re was no God at aU; when he has
as good as said to God. "Go your way and I'll go mine"; when he
has done what God does not want
done and toiled to do what God
wants done; when he has refused
God’s help, refused to associate
with God's people, refused even
to spc.-ik to God, what can God do with such a man?*He could blast
him out ot existence in a (wink* ling, or ho could compel his obedi
ence; but God. does not operate
that way. In the simple, chilling
words of- S t Paul (Romans I)
God “gives up” such a man. He
lets the man go his own way.
WHfeout Hopt
So long as a man is unaware ot hte sin in God’s sight, be can be
pretty gay. A good many joUy
people have gone the broad road to destruction. But once a man
begins to see that there is a
break between him and God, once
he realizes what he has done, he
enters the most terri&ing experi*
enc« it is possible tor human be«
ings to have. For now he knows
. . . and how can he mend it? How
can be come back? If Cod were
his friend he would not tear any
enemy, any trouble, any disaster. Even death would only bring
him to the presence of his hearv* enly Father. But what if he has
thrown away and despised the
IrJendship of God? What if death
gniy brings him face to face with
the condemning Judge? < A. man
who has bccome aware of what
sin is. what his own sin is. knows
. that unless God can do something
•bout it, he is without hope in
this world or the next. It is of no
usf to believe in the victory ot eternal love it he himself has
been.lighting on the wrong side. Even it he makes a complete
turn>about this very day, what
* about all the worse*than*wasted
days before? He has done the
damage, he has let loose evil
in the world. Unless God comes
to his rescue he is truly lost; but what cVaim has he on God? Why
should God bother with him, a man who has never bothered about God?
•ThMHaitOillvtnriMySevl*
Tliose who have known and loved God best have thanked him
for many blessings; but ISce the Psalmists ot old. the greatest
blessing and the one which under*
lies all others and makes them
bright, is the forgiving love of
God. God's f<»rgtvene86 is not at
all the same thing as toolcing the
^tber way as a careless police*
man might when « driver runs
through a red light tt Is not
God’s saying that it reaUy makes
no difference. It is God's uncon
querable love reaching &CTOSS the
gulf between himself and us who have sinned. Three things we
need to remember about this: one
is that God's forgiveae« is never
forced on any one. never prom
ised to those who do not turn from
theix stoB to God. . One^U tti»t
when a man has known Ibt real forgiveness of God be show* ft to
a changed life.

back by fly* o*clock. 80 T<nnmy started walking slowly (ow«fd the
Reeder fkrm. as he had a lot ot thinking to
In the small sitting room Aunt
Lucy and Tinde Pete were ta1k« Ihg. Aunt Lucy faislsted that two
doUara was an awful lot to pay
for a dog. They were poor people
after «U and could only afford
to give Tommy sensible things.U ncle P ete thought Tommy
should have the puppy he wantfd. He was only seven, and needed a playmate.
Tommy was w.alking along still slowly, trying not to think how
wonderfttl it would be If be could have this little puppy. His name
was Blaze, and he was a runt;
that’s why he cost only two dol* lairs. Tom n^ tiuivght how the pup
would frolic along beside him and «wag his tail, and how they’d race
over the fields when sprhig was
here. But no use thinking about
Blaze. He had to get a Job.
It was when £e was passing the
big house M^iere Mr. Robert 'ni«l*
“CMld you give U te me in

cher. lived, that the idea came.
Tommy went hi and asked Mr. Thatcher for a job. Mr- Thatchor
was said to a bad*tempered.
stin ^ old man, but Tommy wasn’t going to be afraid of him. He said.
"1 need some Christmas money,
ahd I thought you might give me
a Job to do.’*
The old man asked grumpily. "What do you want tor Christ-
masT”
B is Xm as Wish
Tommy explained dbout the dog
and Mr. Thatcher said. '’All right, you can go to work in-tbe orchard,
cleaning out under the treet.**
Tommy found the rake and other tools and went to work with
vim. A little before five, the Job
was done. Mr. Tliatcher took a
look.at it, and said he'd earned the two dijllars.
’^Could you ^ve it to me in
new shiny dollars?” Tommy asked.
The old -man nodded. ’’Thought
you were going to buy a puppy?”
“Hope, Can’t have the puppy. Christmas is for giving.”
The oM man put two silver dollars in his hand. He said softly.
*'GUid you reminded me. Tommy, r d almost forgotten.*'
Then it. was Christmas. After
breakfast Tommy proudly laid a
shining silver dollar in Aunt Lucy’s
hand and 'one. hi Uncle Pete’s.
They were both so surprised for
a mofneot they didn’t speak Then
Aunt Lucy nodded at .Unele Pete.
He left the room and they heard
the chugiUng of the old Ford'as it went down the lane.
’The dollar shines pretty, doesn’t it?” Tommy asked.
”Xfs beautiful, Tommy. Thank
you.'* Aunt iMcy’s voice sounded dioked up.
Ib e Real Thing
When CThde Pete came back. t\e gave Tommy two packages mit
tens fnxn Atmt Lucy and shoes
from Uncle Pete. ’’Just what I
need^** Tommy exclaimed and
gave them both a big hug. Undo Pete cleared his throat. 'Tommy,
your real present is on the back p o r^ in a basket.”
It was Blase, the pupny. Tommy
gave a cryi of joy. He ran back
to the sitting room, the puppy In
his arms. ’*Oh, thank you. Un-?> Pete. Thank you.. Aunt Lury
Thank y«ni a-million!”

ST. LUKE
Ltike the author of the third
cospeI,was not an *|mtle; how.
ever many people rate him along
with the members of. the Qnomm
of the twelve apostles due to the
fact the MhipllerB of onr Bible used
his writlnga along with th«"*post-
les. One Bible conmeutatcr says,
;‘It la quite possible that St. Luke
nanuinltled alave; Anti,
stlns the surgeon of Julias Caesar,
and Antonins Hass, the physician
of Augustus, were freed men. Luke
nowhere clyes bis name In either
of the .two writtlngs which from
the first have been assigned to him;
but he Is three times named by St,
Faut (Col. 4:10, 14; Fblhm 14; t
Tim. 4:11) These nntlces of him
tell us that he wss. a Gentile and
a physielan, very dear to the Apns
tie, as being bis fellnw.worker in
spreaklng the faith and hla attend,
ant In both the Roman tmpriaon-
ments It Is worth nothing that
in all three places his brother.
Evsniiellst Mark Is mentioned also.
In fOnr other passa^ In the New
Testament Luke by uaing the first
person, tells us a good deal about
himself (Luke 1:1.4, Acts 16:10-17;
ao;5-2i |S:27;. and these
contains all that' Is]
really known the life of St. L>ike”
Biblical Encyclopedia.
We have no record that Luke
ever saw the Christ In person dur.
Ingjesus ministry; be nuiy have
learned the details of Jaaus mlnis.|
try from the apostles. It he did
he learned them well because lie
does a splendid Job in relating them
in tbe third gospel. And In the
Acta we note that thia epistle was
written to a friend of rbe author
hm usa he stan out by ao addccas.'
Ing him as smb. It could lie that
Fanl converted Lake to the go>
pel and took th* faithful convert a.
long with him aa' his .'e
We know Paul .was converted' to
the gospel after the crucffixton- of
lesus; and was converted by the re.
snrrecied Lord after be had aa,
eended Into heaven when he let tbe
light fall upon Panl^aul) m hb
way to persecute tbe Saints, Mnl
for awhile prnched to the Jews
but was esp^ally chnsen to preach
to the Gentiles; and In as mnch as
Luke was a Gentile and fellow.
Irompanlon to Paul It could he that
[he was one of PunVs eonvens. and
later teamed the detail, nf Christ's
ministry from the, living members
of tbe Quorum of the twelve Apos.
ties All these ideaa shout the
conversion of St. Luke la based up.
on the facts that he Is no where r&
fered to as being an apostle or
seventy or even one nf the deacons,
and the fact Christ fcrbsde the *■
postles Vo preach to Gentltea until
after Ills emdhxlon and Paul
the apostle chosen after Jesus
death and resurrection to open np
the mission to the Gentllea and re
ferred to Luke as Ms friend snd
co-worker It gives os' room to sps.
cutate thst Luke was converted to
the gospel by Paul and hecnme so
well versed in tbe.teaebtngs be
wrote epistles to friends about the

those who wouid obev Him, and In

Think It over—Are we doing

Ssmnel S Lelbowlii aald: "The

may be barely out of knee pant<
la eiore brazen, more cynical a ^
more sadistle thsn the toughest
gsngster of the Capone era." From
The Voice, aMeihodlat temperance
magazine, we. find, these words:
'Binerage alcohol has become
msjor factor In divorce,'a major
factor In highway deaths, a major
factor In crime, ' It has contrlhnt-
ed nearly 7,000,000 alcoholics and
problem drinkers in one generation
of American people; It soaks op]
^,000,000,000 annually from the
U. S.'pockethooks.'
Think it over. He said that He
would give blessings upon those
who would serve Him, aiM a curse
upon those who would nbt obey.
Jesus ssid, ‘‘If ye loye Me, keep
My commandments.” Do we re.

enjoy the happenings of long ago.
We found out over 50 vears ago
that it is hard to please every*

We understand that so...e news*

articles that the pastors of the
churches wish printed. The Re

preachers do not even take our

The Living Gkid
l^soo for December Vt, UM
1 ^ 0 ALL men “yearn for God” ?Plainly^ they do not. Many ig- nore him, many wish they eoulit
be sure he did not exist, tome oven spend a good deal ot effort trying to show that there is no God. Many even so*cai)ed religious peo« pie, church mem- r bers ol the more lukewarm sort, cannot by any stretch of the imagination be said to “ yearn” Jor God. Some people at)e so Habby by temperament that they never yearn lor anything or Dr. Fereman nnyonc in their whole lives. Like oysters, they take what comes their way and think as Uttle as possible. Nevertheless and for all that, the longing for God is the deepest longing ot which the hu> man heart is capable. Those who - have known this desire know that there is no other which is so in> tense. ^
Only the IIvIuk Qod SallifiHMen do cry out for the living God. as the Psalmist said. Men do not really care for dead gods.A deity who is only a name, a definition in a catechism, «n article in n creed, a hypothesis in a philosopher’s mind, « concept, an idea; a god who is spun tike cob- wcb out of a thinker’s brain, a god wlio is another name for a 'Wish, a god who is no more than a mirage, a reilection of a man's own ego on the blank curtain of empty eternity.— such a god no one wants. It is only the living God who sutisfles. Indeed, the great .s<>ints have always believed that only the living God could inspire In men this deep desire for himselC. K\u what is meant by the “Uvir.g” God? First of all it means the wenver of destiny. A God who made the universe and threw It out to whirl forever untended and forgotten, might be a majcstlc deity but not the living God for whom the - saints have yearned. T.'ic living God is one
who i.<: here, now, weaving at his loom of time a.id space, living in the hearts and I'^'nds of his children. controllint^ by his providence Ihe course uf history, •‘preserving and governing all his creatures” as an old creed expresses it. To such a God we dare to pray: of such a God we may eji- pect concern, a hand stretched out to lift the falling.
Qod tha Friind“God is my friend" Is the most stirring thought a man can hava. A God who ifould not be a friend but only a creator, a Judge, would not be the living God of the psalmists’ prayers. Yet when we speak of God as a friend, we have to avoid two mistakes. One is to think that he is a friend to all alike, that it makes no dlflerenca at all to him what we do, he it tor us no matter what, that whatever we pray for he is bound to do for us. No: as we were thinking last week, God can be against men. He wUl not say "Yes” to foolish or wicked prayers. He is
for good Lnd against evil, an4 be plays no favorites. Another mistake Is to think of him like some human friends, persons who wish us well but can’t do anything else about it. Human friendship is often no more than weak and helpless sympathy. The friendship ot God comes from the heart ot reality
itself. In spite of our human friends we may be destroyed; but as St Paul put it. If God be for us, who can be (successfully) acalnst
us? t
Till Ullflfitligiic 8otf
Both in the Bible <as in Psalm
102) and out (as in Christian the* ' ology) we hear about the unchanging or the unchangeable. God. We
have to be careful to think of this as the Bible shows us. and not to make a caricature out ot the idea. God is the living God; let us keep ^ that in mind at all times. He is not unchanging as a statue is. A doll is made sm|Ung; cuddle the doU or leave It in Ibe rain, and the don smiles on. But God is no doll! God is not unehanfing as a formula is In mathematics. Any mathemaUcal law, any law ol
phj sics, or astronomy lor instance, is unchangeable; but it is not a
living' thing: It knows nothing, tt cares fop nothing, it can be used by evil men and good. God on the contrary is the divine person, not a what, not a thing, but infinite. • personal, loving.—our Father. His uncbangingness is not tte samaj ness of a doU, not the inflexibUltr of a formula. It is the changelei^ ness of a fatherly

U It’s far away, your eyes have to point almost straight ahead. It It’a cloae, they should turn inward.But the muscles of seme: ayes rebel against a p r^ r pointing' job. Eyes may have a tendency to point outward (exoptaoris). or

Such deviation can occur In viewing both distant objeete and nearby ones, but the distance and the near phoria conditions are usually differentAU this has to do wltti binocular vision, because, unless your two eyes point correctly, they won’t produce Images that correapond and you’U see double.

Christmas Gitt
All over the country, Ameri
cans have been p:oving this year
that they can reduce traffic ac
cidents if thev accept the personal
responsibility to drive and walk as
they' want others to drive and
walk. I
Insisting on a sound, year-round
program of traffic safety is quite aa
important as insisting on, a year-
round program of health, educa
tion, fire prevention, and crime
control. It Is all part of good
citizenship. It is essential to the
wel&re of the community.
Make courtesy and the golden
rule oi the road your theme this
holiday season. The best Christ
mas gift is a acddent free record
for the rest of the year.

*^H B day after Chrietmas lota usdown with « thud. So do«s the
day after any (roat occasion. Ihe songs have been sung, the candtea
have burned down, some o< ^ toys have already
been broken, the
dishes have to ke
washed . . . w«
feel tired and flat.For some, it is al«
most a relief to
get back to woric. w ith C hristm aa
“out ,of our *ys- te m .” Now we
should not be surprised at this, nor cry about it.
After the Mount ol Transfiguration
comes a sick boy in a dusty val* ley. After every high day comes a
long string of low days. Religion, the religion ot the Bible is not a
thing intended only for Sundays
and holidays. It Ii religion for the
clammy , day after.
JJh% OW OountiUr
There is one book In the Old
Testament which many readers
And bard to understand, more
than any other. It hardly eeiuns
to fit In with the rest of the Bible. Where other writers sing, tbit one
Just talks. Where other writers soar into the heavens, thia one
considers heaven to be so ter away that it is not worth while to
talk about it. Where other Bible
writers are full of hope and optl* mism, this one ia glMmy to his
very bones. Be could w dl be
called the Philosopher of .the
Morning After. We have to re*
member one or (wo things about
"Ecclesiastes" aa the . writer Is not too eppropriatelr called. He is
not what wo would tall a 'preach*
er” for that is what the name Ec* clesiastes means. He it more like
a columnist, a giver el advice, a counselor. He is not A Christian,
and. so we must notf expect that he will come up to the height
from' which a Christian tees life. He is an old man. and has **had
everything” except haWineas. He
is not a complete cynic,—4hat is to say. there are some things in
which he does believe. « But hit beliefs are held, so to tpeak» un
der a cloudy sky. It is a wonder
ful thing that in tbe Providence
of God U\is book was Inchided.lii
our Bible, for it gives us just what
we need when we too are let-down
on some dark day after Christ*
maa. The old counselor catcbta
ut on the rebound and gtvet ut, if we WiU listen, tome unexcHInf
and perhaps unhopeful but atlll useful advice for our Days Alter,
Pan !■« SlnttoThe fav o r^ retrain of ihe Old
Counselor is ‘'Vanity of Vanltlet.'*
Emptiness ot Bmptinest—life to him it like one of thete nests «C.
boxes sometimes seen on tba toy countert: you open the bIf one
and And one not quite to Me Tou open that and it boldt a tUfhUj
smaller one . . . and to «0 ttS : you come to the thiiest box ol iE '

the World Council of
W Churchws was meeting In
EVantton; ill., last Auviikt. the representatives of the mnrc> thnn
100 - churches who wcrp •voi k- ing and,, praying and. planning
there .together naturally did not ;ag ree on every* i
thing: You couldn’t ?
get together 600 j outstanding, mem
bers of even one ,' denomination to-
gettier and expect >
them nevef tn ar- i
gue about any- j
thing. But there was one pnJni on '
which all w ere Dr. Foreman agreed nt Evnnston: every church
there represented accepts the au> thority of the Bible as the Word
of'God. Over and over .leain in
manys. dlRcrent problems, the
question would come up: Wwi
. does the Bible say? Those who accuRCd the World Council of
“mrdern'sm” just do not ■know
the Council or the churches that
compose it. From the he.-jinnina
of Chi-istinn history the Bible has been tlie lop authority for individ
ual Christians and for churches.
Llv* Wlret ^
One of the most dlstinguistied
Uvinp translators of the Bible Is
J. B. Phillips, whose- trnnRlnlinnfi
of the OoHpels and U»p F-nistleR arc w dely used. He says hi spimk-
in»i of his work that he olten had the name impressi<rh a man would
have who comes on live wires in an old house. The Bible was writ
ten long ago, before a word at
(ha finguaga t e d ' comatotb axiitance. It wat written In
the ^’Middle Catt” by a number of authors over several, centuries
ot time. On the face of it you would think such a collection of
writings would be a literary curiosity but nothing more.' On the
contrary, our generation like ev
ery generation before ut hat found the Bible tpeaking diraetly to the
heart, speaking alio to the condi* tlont and circumstance! of every
era. If tha Bible did net do thit, if it wera not (at tita writer to
the Hebrawt putt it) ‘living and powerful.” ao amount'of preach
ing by tha church could,have taved it from balng forgotten. The
Bible hat many who wlU tpeak
for it; but it doet not need many te tpeak for it, for it wlU tpeak
fbr itteU. As (^eridge taid, it
hat a way of ‘ydfaig”- US where
wa are. Piit into a m an't handt a . nb le he can read ^ an d thit in
America mMQs a Bible In pretent- day EngUth. net in the language
of Shaketpaare. for m ott pertont —and he will discover that he
holds a. Book that it more- than
a book, a Book that it more aUva than he it.
