Those who have not received the Bible are far behind. I was asked what tangible, good results have come to us for the Bible. For when you turn your back upon the Bible, you turn your back upon all that is uplifting and ennobling. Witness the agreement of the description in Rom. 1 with the actual circumstances.
Man falls in such cases below the brute.
As for social order, the Bible is the book whose influence has raised woman and exalted her. In lands uninfluenced by the Bible, woman is mostly man's slave, beast of burden, and the object of his brutish lusts. God did not make the woman inferior. He committed to her the sacred trust of bearing children and molding their lives for immortality. In regard to all social order, the Bible is the only book that raises the standard of right to control the power of might.
