every country and language and

Men have been burned at the stake
they have been thrown to the wild
beasts in the Coliseum, they have
been suffered to rot in prison, for no
crime other than believing what the
Bible taught, and living what it
taught and having had copy of it in
their possession.
Influence OF
Bible Is Strong
Wars have been fought because
of the Bible. Cities have been de-
stroyed because of it. But it is here,
and its power and influence were
never greater in all the history of
the world than right tonight, my
friends, as you and l are here.
oh, every brewer, every bawdy-
house keeper, every gambler and ev-
cry brigand, every liar and every an
archist, and all the good-for-nothing,
God-forsaken, rag-tag and bobtail off
securing of society have been against
the Word of God. But it is the Word
of God, and millions of people who
know it is just as well as they know
that they are alive or that they know
their name.
And yet 1 suppose there are some
people looking in my face that haven't
read page in the Bible in ten years.

wake up in hell when you have been
such fool and wouldn't look into the
means that God provided to keep yon
out of there. Don't blame God if you
go. The Lord isn't to blame-not at

1t is the only book in the world
that tells US of God that it is posi-
BILE to love, of heaven to win and
hell to shun and Savior that is
able to save.
The young people go to school, 60
to college, go to the university to
learn all of philosophy, all of art, all
of science, all of literature, and yet
/, they know nothing of the Bible. And
all the rest will not save them with
out knowledge of the Bible, while if
! you know what is in the one Book
and obey that, it will save you if
you don't know beans about any of
| the others.
/ True Test Of Na
| knowledge.
But, there is nothing inconsistent
about knowing all there is to know
! in the other books and knowing the
/ Bible and living that, too
! Don't you think that l will admit
/ that anybody that doesn't believe the
/ Bible is the Word of God knows more
! than l know and that he is more
! bright? Not on your tin type! l will
never dip my colors to that guy-no
sir Never!
And these things are written,
the Bible says, THAT We might be
/ lieve that Jesus is the Christ, the
Son of God, and by believing We
might have life through his name
Now, that tells why the Bible was
written. The question is often raised
why was it written?" Here it is:
These things were written that ye
might believe that Jesus is the Christ
the Son of God, and by believing ye
might have life through his name?"
