then comes Moses" A young Hebrew,
surviving the dangers to which his
people were subjected, grew up in the
favor of the court. He was educated
in the university, and was learned in
the wisdom of the Egyptians" But
a premature effort In behalf Of his peo-
pie compelled him to escape for his
life beyond the frontiers of Egypt. He
found refuge among the Midianite
where in the region of sacred noun
tain, Horeb or Sinai. There he spent
many years, seemingly lost to his peo-
pie. But at length. meditation upon
their fortunes and an experience at
the sacred mountain which he deemed
the call Of God to his uncompleted
task, brought him back to Egypt.
There he inspired his people with
the hope Of deliverance, and seizing
favorable opportunity when Egypt I'M

Out into the desert Moses led them,

had been inspired for his great task.
There for many months they remained

feet men. A national life, longer or
shorter, precedes national literature,
a religious life, more or less perfect,
precedes a religious literature. OF
course such literatures in their turn
create national and religious life, but
always the life comes first.
Here, then, is this notable book,
this wonderful body of literature, the
Bible. 1t is vastly rich in the range
of it's contents and variety of it's style.
The literature of England from Bede
to Browning is not more rich or va
ried. And yet it's unity is more strik-
ing than it's variety. What lies behind
1t all? What is the basis Of It?
There is only one answer neces-
sary though many others have been
given. The fact, the experience, the
life lying behind this vast and eter-
nally potent book, giving 1t unity, is
the long divine movement Of God in
human life and upon human life for
the redemption Of mans life from de-
struction. This is the key to 1t. This
supreme literature Of the world is
based upon the redemptive purpose,
desire and movement Of God upon and
within the human race. The Bibles
chief figure is the redeeming God, re-
vealed perfectly for mans redemption
in Jesus Christ. The basis of the
Bible seems to me to be this. And
noble basis it is. The Bible will al
ways be supremely valuable to man
with such basis as this.
