“What is the Bible" was the sub-

ject of the sermon delivered by Rev. Dr. R.. Moorhead Legals at St. James' Church yesterday morning. This was the second of ii pre-Eas- ter series.

Following was the sermon: IX Peter 1~2l-"H0ly men of old

spoke as they were moved by the Holy Ghost."

Suppusing I were addressing a

iialhrruis of People who knew nuth- lnir of the Bible, or u literary soci- ety which was mainly interested in the Bible as a book, I would deal very differently with the subject of the Bible from the way ln which I um lcd to do this moming. Be- CRUSS. Sl>€aking_.a5 I am, to a con- gregation of Christian people who accept tho Bible as Gods Book, and who prufr-.s_s to use it us their guide to salvation, I feel limi I necd do little more than to rr-fresh your minds about the importance and preclousness of the Bock. In spite of what are culled "!1br‘rzrl vic‘.vr." ?\h0l1f. thc- Blhiv, rw- run luv flint our Churr-li ns is wimlr- 1»..~ud_r, hy. ally L0 the old cuncr-lution of the Bible which is expr;-.,<rr1 for us lu our subordinate s-tnnd.i1‘<ls of lmlrvf, the Wesimiristor Cori!/~.'slo:r and our Cather-isms; und tlr.1t,_ wc know, is flint "tire Scriptures prin- cipally teach what man is to believe concerning God, and what duty God rvquires of man," and further that "thc word of God, which is con- tained in the Scripture of the old and new teslaments, is the only rule to direct us how we may glorify and enjoy God." Which just means this. that we, as members of the great Presbyterian Church, hold the book we call the Bible as the supreme rule of our faith and as the supreme directory for the living of our lives. And so what I am going tp try and do just now is to present you with four or five examples of how the Bible justifies its claim in our text to be the bool! which holy men of old Wrote as they were moved by the Holy Ghost.: that this book is divine in is sense-'that no other book is, 11 book apart. from all other books and ln s class by itself. The first evidence of the divine authorship of the Bible to which I cali your at- tention is the astonishing harmony of its contents and unity of its paris. When you recall that the Bible consists of sixty-six separate books which were written by at least forty different authors, ranging in occupation from kings to fishermen, and that a period of fifteen hun- dred _vrurs elapsed from the writ- ing of the first chapter to the writ- ing of the last chapter, you would ordln;r.11y expect to find variance, discurfi, :ill sorts of discrepancies in the \ _ But you find nothing of the kind. On the contrary, you find a harmonious whole, the _histories fitting with cxaotness into the prophecies, and the prophecies dove- talling into the Gospels. Of no oth- er book or collection of books on any one subject can this be said. This notable feature of the Bible in itself must lend you to the conclusion that it is of more than human workman- ship, thai; the Divine Hand is evid- ent in it all, that the only way to account for the "lay-out" oi' the Bible is that “Holy men of old spnlre ss they were moved by the Holy Ghost."

Again, you have rvidciicc of the

divine authorship of thc Bible in the perfection of its standard of morality. Take the ten command- ments and place them side by side with the teaching of Jesus Christ, especially with thc Sermon on thc Mount, which is really their highest interpretation, and you have laid down for human conduct every duty that man should fulfil, and every wrong from which msn should ub- sf.ain_ The laws that have been made by men hs\c often had. by force of ci1'<‘.urnstance;<_ to be alter- :-d_ added to, srrhlrscted from, and sometimes to br' erased altogether from the sintiitc-books of nations. But. in the moral code of the Bible, we have a set of invrs covering com- plciely the outward. and inward im- pulses of mankind. so inclusive and perfect that human codes have bas- cd themselves upon it, and that it has ricvr-r needed to bc revised. Surely this too justifies the Bibles claim that "holy mon of old spoke as they wen* nroved by thc Holy Ghost."

Still niroiiicr vvidriico of thc Bib-

lc`s dlvlnc uuiirorshlp is io bc seen in the striking and rcniarknblc ful- fillment of its prophecies. I may have used the illustrations I am ii- bout in give you on a. fornwr occu- s1on_ but. ilicy will stnnrl i'cp¢‘i.tinn.

Another convincing evidence J the divinity of the Bible is funi:-' ed by its vital power. The very forC’ of God flows through its pagesfgip' ing it a perennial freshness and vib- slity which no other book has. There are some of you who read your Bible regularly. yet you never' tire of it. its most fiunillar passages never grow stale. You all hear if. read and explained and enforced here in our church se_rvlces from week to week, and Yet it is ever new, and its bo.si.-known verses un- fslluigiy interest and hold you no matter how frequently you hear them. Other books grow old \and pass into obscurity and oblivion. Scientific books of even fifty years ago are out, of date today, behind I the times, useless to inform a swift- l

ly-moving world. But the Bible holds its own as the one book com- ! pletely adapted to the needs of men land women today as much as-is was before its ink was dry. It l by fri: thc largest circulation of any fbook 111 tI.c world fudiiy. und, in thc I i-iri-u:n.-.t.:1n<-r.~, that could only be 1 the rose with a book oi which it is Maid--"holy mon of old spoke as they ‘Wore moved by the Holy Ghost.”`."Z`, I Anil lastly, the highest. c\'idcr& of all for ilic divine- sources of tht* Bible is that it changes tin- hear-L and life and leads the soul back to God. This is so evident., so weli- known to everybody, that it requires no elaboration. There are those be- fore me this morning for whom the Bible has done this. There are thosl known to you for whom the Bible has done this. Blessed by tue Spir- it of God, the reading of this Book is daily working the miracle of lead- ing men and women out, of darkness into light, and out of death into life. We should by every means possible seek to get at the iremel_ the very heart and centre of what the Bible is and why it was given to us. There are a thousand reasons why we ‘ should value the Bible. There is its literary charm which makes it so well worth our reading for the sake of its purity of style and beauty of expression. There is the invaluable mass of historical annals which it alone contains. There is the human appeal of it, the biographies of men and women like ourselves in their' .struggle with the problems of life. There is the uplift of lt, the stimulus you find on every page to play tha mari and put your best foot forwarii But. these features of this marvel- lous book are far from being the 5- sence of the Bible. If this were all that the Bible contained, it could never have won the place it has in' the affection and reverence of men and women. It has something mli than that to give us. The Bible owes its uniqueness to the fact that I gives God to us in Jesus Christ, Hia son. It is the loving and merciful message of the Eternal Father to you and me, His children. A.nd'i¢ is not a mere message or record-i ts ra power that leads us Gros, and when we are led Cross we come as near to men may come in this mo

when the world needed such a Book as this it is today when so man! seem to have lost their balance and their bearings. Only when the Christ of the Bible is supreme in the worlds hearts can we have peace and concord. and a prosperity and happiness that go down to bed»- rock.
