 ground of it's divine human origin. at | all events 1t is the most wonderful body | of Literature, the literary remains of q wonderful people, Egypt Ninevah and Babylon have their records in
 stone, and they are digging them up | today, even while the great war Is go- ing on, But the records of the Jewish race are all literary. The Bible can be studied from a devotional q historical
