'" "Men cannot be well educated without the Bible," says Dr. Nott.
"It ought, therefore, to hold a chief place in every situation of
learning throughout Christendom." "I am of the opinion," says Sir
William Jones, "that the Bible contains more true sublimity, more
exquisite beauty, more pure morality, more important history, and finer
strains of poetry and eloquence, than can be collected from all other
books, in whatever age or language they have been written." "I will
answer for it," says Romaine,
"THE LONGER YOU READ THE BIBLE
the more you will like it; it will grow sweeter and sweeter; and the
more you get into the spirit of it, the more you will get into the
spirit of Christ." "The greatest pleasures the imagination can be
entertained with," says Sir Richard Steele, "are to be found in the
Bible; and even the style of the Scriptures is more than human."
THE BIBLE IS AUTHENTIC.
It is old. It is beautiful. It is the only hope we have. If we cast it
away we become as the brutes of the field, both in spirit and in body.
The strong take from the weak and perish into nothing--this is all that
is offered us by those who reject and revile the Bible.
