and this is the word which by the
gospel is preached unto YOU"
lie said: In the making of books
there is no end. The older the book
the newer the book. The bible, the
book of books, is the oldest, yet the
newest: il is that which reveals God;
which gives us the manifestations of
Gods spirit 1t has survived the as
saults of all ages. 1t is worth more
than all repositories: it comes with
the truth of God; il is solid path
way through the way of darkness un-
til the dawning of day; it is the crea-
tive civilization power of today; ere
ativc power of individual life; secret
of successful life; it conquers the
hearts of men; it takes away the
sting of death; it is conqucring

stands solid and sure" He held his
