"The Book of Books"

The Rev. Roher, B. Hull preached in
the Tabernacle Baptist Church on The
Book of Books" The text was read
fran Ac.s xiii. A, of the revised edition
OF the New Tes,ament-"Almost the
whole city was gathered together to hear
the Word Of God"
The speaker said that manYwould per-.

which had been made in the Testament
by the new edition. HIS own opinion
was that all the passages suggested by
the American Revision Committee and
rejected by the English Committee
ought 10 have been accepted. Even in
this they would not have gone too far to
suit the Baptists, who we're anxious to
get at the exact meaning Of the Word.
