A  Tribute  To  The Bible

 There is a Book in our world today that is as far above humanly devised volumes as the high and holy heavens soar above lowly earth. That Book is God's Valiant Volume. It is our beautiful and beloved Bible—the Grand Old Book Divine. In the words of a moving, majestic hymn it is a book which surpasses the sages; it is a book which ascends the ages. There is no other book in all the world like it; there is indeed no other book which can duplicate it; there is indeed no other book which can supplant it. It has no superior; it has no close peer. Pious people of countless centuries have loved it. Multiplied millions have died for what it reveals. With their blood they have sealed their belief and trust in its courageous contents—the sublime story of redemptive mercy at work. Blatant infidels have hated it, burned it, mocked it, perverted it and poured unrelenting, voluminous contempt and deep disdain upon its militant—messages of towering truth. Yet in spite of their ardent and adamant opposition it lives. Too many of its professing friends have ignored it or taken it for granted. Yet it lives. Too many have thought that it needed no one to defend it and have been silent on the sideline when its messages were mocked and its inspiration was impeached. Yet it lives. Its assailants go the way of all die earth one by one and soon the world forgets they r.er existed. But the Book they fought lives on in vibrant and victorious fashion. Militantly and marvelously, it marches forth with an ever growing degree of reverence placed before its ascending authority.
