Three Certain Truths.

II the Bible had never been written
there are still three things that the
universe has stamped indelibly on the
mind of man, wherever the Bible pre-
walls and wherever it does not. Those
three things are the idea of God, the
conviction of moral accountability, the
belief in life beyond the grave. It
is the glory of our English Bible and
1t is the glory of the Christian re-.
ligion that they have expressed and
embodied these fundamental ines.
capable ideas in way that transcends
all other records and all other incar
