THE BIBLE AND THE POKER DECK.

Over 100000 Bibles sold in this country last

1t strikes thinking people that the sale of eight million
copies of the Bible in single year is rather significant

Why this phenomenal demands
Certainly there must be something between the overs
of this old book that the people want On the very low
level OF demand and supply must be said the book fills
a great need or great longing of human nature.
Its friends contend that it finds the human heart at
lower depths and at otier heights than any other volume
in all the WORLD that it fits the human soul the fits
the land, the air fits the mountains. Certainly at

is there intimate connection between this Bible
buying and the great obvious revival of the national
science, or is it only coincidence!
Is it not plausible to connect the growing spirituality
of our day. as shown by the national senstveness,
shown by the flaming of moral protest against wrong
doing in public and private affairs, with the phenomenal
growing interest in the Old and New Testament?
We are holding no brief for the promotion of defense
of the Bible 1t is abudanty able take of itself
But is 1t not possible the Post Photographer is mistaken
IN comparing the tumbng of the leaves of the Bible with
the shutting of the cards in the poker deck?
There must be something in the old book-which has

great spiritual hunger and thirst Else eight million
people last year did not know what they wanted.

he could take it or let it alone.
No, we are not going to give you
