DR.. Ross Visit to Berea

Dr. Johnston Ross of the Union Theological Semin-

Dr. Ross is a native Of Inverness, at the north OF
Scotland and is OF the greatest OF the imported

REASONS FOR KNOWING THE
BIBLE

He began by saying that the
American Bible Society requested
that in as many places as possible
y. attention Of the people should
be drawn today 70 the need for a
better knowledge OF the Bible and
said that. ESPECIALLY in Berea, which
was named after a town made fam
GUS by the single feat that its peo-
pie were Bible students. attention
should be drawn 10 the situation
which had developed in the Protes-
tant church. Four hundred years
ago the Protestant church chose the
Bible as the seat Of authority. and
organized religion around il. Now,
religion had not always been organ
lied around book Quite excellent
people. like Abraham. had contrived
10 he religious without the Bible or
prayer meeting. The Romans or
ganized religion around state; the
Jews around temple and an altar;
and the Catholic church around the
mass. In these systems il was not
essential that any particular book
should be widely known, but Pro-
testantism has chosen 10 make the
book central. Ignorance Of the book
among Protestants. therefore, is
more fatal than elsewhere, and in
our cities the situation is that,
though there is Bible on the pull
pit. there are practically no Bibles
in the pews, and large and impor-
tant sections Of the Bible simply
cannot be taught from the pulpit
because the people have no means
Of referring TO the textbook. This
exclusion Of the Bible from the
churches. along with the exclusion
Of the Bible from the schools, make
a situation extremely perilous. and
yet il is the situation which the
Berea students are going out 10
face. Mr. Ross then commended the
