| llhIs. Here rs one very popuhI "a
cuae men are giving now. II is that they
don't understand the Bible. They say
that is the reason 1 don't become a
l Christian The man that says he
doesn't become a Christian because he
cannot reason out everything In the
Bible has never read II through. We
/ are not expected TO understand every
! thing In the Bible. God never Intended
that we should do this
! There ~ no book In the wide world
| condemned like the Bible, and do not
| think that there has ever been one Of
I the men who have condemned 1t ever
| read the Bible through. The man that
/ Knows the least about II " the man
( that talks the most against II. You
say there are 50 many mysteries about
IT, II is stated that the ungodly shall
not understand 1t. | am glad that
there Is great many things In the
Bible that / don't understand; that l
am unable TO fathom out; II makes II
| more fascinating for me to study. The
old book has never worn out; It Will
never wear out. II has been handed
DOWN from generation to generation
Tor six thousand years. Millions and
millions have given up their lives
for 1t; they have endured all kinds Of
tprtures 10 preserve It's truths. / thank
God that I live In this country where
We haze the Bible ! have come from
Mexico where they have not the Bible.
Don't let any man give up the Old
BOOK, Pass by the things you do not
understand, and may be when you
read IL over ten years afterwards you
WIZ understand II better. I don't have
my trouble In understanding the Bible.
l believe It,
l suppose there are 900 people here
,u-HlBnt VINO give thla excuse Tor not
becoming Christian. l expect TO be-
come christian but not lust now.
