USE AND ABuSE OF BIBLE
THEME OF DOCTOR BOYD.
Value of Book Not So Much in
Words, but in the Christ
Portrayed.

The Reverend Doctor w. ". Boyd. pastor
OF the Second Baptist Church. took for his
theme yesterday morning THE Bible of Tc-
Day." and for his text John xvii. II. Thy
Word is truth" He said:
THE Bible has been ikened to a great
symphony played by some magnificent or
chestra, In which the same theme is taken
up by one instrument after another and re-
peated with endless variation and ever
increasing beauty and power. This theme
is that God loves men despite their sinful
ness and is working through the ages to
save them from the penalty and power of
their sins. The one idea running through
the whole of Scripture is Gods redemption
OF mankind by His SIN, Jesus Christ.
The Bible is not a book. but a collection
OF books. written IN different ages by diff
ferert authors. without conference with
each other or a conscious common purpose.
And yet a common unity makes all these
separate books really one book. because
the hand that writes them Is a historical
unity. In its essence the Bible is n book OF
history. the history of redemption.
The value of the Bible is not in its words.
but in the Christ whose portrait is contained
in the words. And he best uses the book
who knows how to look beneath its words
and phrases and sees the living Christ
whose image they enshrine..
The school of Christ has one textbook.
Every pupil must use the Bible. All other
ever helps he uses; they must be in every
cpse means toward a clearer knowledge of
the Word of God.
The Bible is of inestimable value, be-
chief means by which the Holy Spirit works
in the hearts and lives of men. The Bible
itself shows us that before men had a writ
ten revelation from God, He made private
revelations of Himself to individual men.
And by means of these private revelations
the Bible came to be. But now that all
these revelations are gathered together IN
the complete and final ~utterances of the
Scriptures. now that God has made this
authoritative public revelation to men. all
the processes of divine grace IN the life Of
man are wrought, by the spirit through

The text OF Scripture given above Is
from the lips Of the Master, and is taken
from his wonderful Sermon on the Mount

This sermon abounds in many OF the subIi-
NEST truths that have ever been taught in
the world. and the one to which 1 invite
especial attention to-day is so clear, force
ful and true that 1t commands our closest
ard most careful consideration.
In the lays when Jesus spake these words
there were just as many hypocrttes and de-
ceivers as there are in this day and gem

standard by which we might assuredly know
the true from the false is just as unerring
and practical to-day as then. He warned
his disciples to beware of these wolves IN

that he wanted them to examine them
