Within this space. he says. we ear,

We say thu preacher In question Is
proud Of his discovery, and he doubt
less 10. We suppose he thinks that
this SHOW Of superior knowledge on
his part will rank him among the
great refornners OF his day. but we
fear he Is mistaken. We fear he will
find that the people are moro amused
at his discovery than delighted, or, per-
haps. It would be better TO say that
the people will be more amused at him
than at his discovery. In this work-a.-
day world OF average men and women
some Of us know very little about the
Bible, and some Of US use very little
OF what we know. Even at this, there
are few men. good, bad or Indifferent.
who will not rlso up in arms at any
such plan as that proposed by this
Western preacher. We may not read
tho Bible. all OF us, but we love, revere
and cherish the great old Book;
It would perhaps be possible to print
in 100 pages u the great vital teach
ings OF Scripture. They might be put
in even less space. The Sermon on
the Mount, the last few chapters OF st.
Johns Gospel. st. Pnul's charge to the
Church at Corinth and few other pas
sages Of the New Testament contain
the letter and the application OF that
which Christ and His Disciples taught.
we suppose 1t would also be possible
to digest the Old Testament and to
print in about fifty pages Of type the
fundamental doctrines OF the old Law,
the Ten Commandments, the teachings
Of Moses. the most beautiful Psalms
and the Messianc prophecies OF Isaiah.
From these the world might get
enough Of Scripture to live Its daily
life and to fight its daily fight.
This is not all OF the Bible, the
| Western cleric to- the contrary not
withstandtng Altogether apart from
its Divine origin and ethical teaching
