The Bible

Editor

Three hundred Harvard students are said to have recently listened for an hour with eager attention, as a professor read, without comment, portions of the English Bible. "The old book," says the Congregationalist, "is still the most fascinating volume extant."

Boston Evening Transcript.

The Bible is not only "the most fascinating volume extant," but it is likewise the most practical, when one is able to discern the underlying Principle taught therein from Genesis to Revelation. The real worth of the Bible is realized only as its teachings are understood and put into practice. As a work of literature it is unsurpassed by anything of ancient or modern times. For this reason one may read or hear it read with the greatest satisfaction; but when one begins to see that the Bible is philosophical and Scientific in its teachings, it becomes a book of practical value to him. Then he is doubly interested in its perusal, for he finds therein that which not only entertains but helps him as well. It unlocks the mystery of the future, it solves the mystery of the present, and he finds himself strengthened for the struggle of life.
