The Bible a
Universal Book
By REV. A. C. DIXON, D. D.,
Pastor of the Chicago Arm. Moodr')
Church, Chicago.
The Hiblo is tiol
Intended oxcln
sively for Chris
tians. The word
"Christian" occurs
In It. only threw
times. The read
ing of It makes
Christians, and
Christians g e t
most out of it, for
they believe, love
and study its
pages. Iiut the
Hible is for the
wicked as well as
for the good. Us
law, as Paul declares, Is for evildoers,
while its Gospel is for all who will
accept it.
If you would trace the history of the
material universe, you may have any
theory of evolution or mutation, hut
you will come at last to a point where
you need and must have the first
words of Genesis: "In the beginning
God." If you study the history of na
tions and would trace them to their
origin and early developments, you
cannot do without the Bible. If you.
would know the history of jurispru
dence and would be a well-eimlpped
lawyer or judge, you must study the
Hible, for it contains the foundation
of law and all civilized nations.
History of Literature.
If you would study the history of
literature you must know your Bible,
for hundreds of thousands of volumes
in our great libraries were written bo
cause the Bible exists. Theology,
which Is the science of God, the great
est science In the world, Is unintel
ligible without the Bible; and arch
aeology, that fascinating . science,
which with pick and shovel has un
earthed the burled treasures of Egypt
and Assyria, is inexplicable without
the Bible. The poet's corner cannot
be appreciated without a knowledge of
the Bible. It will be conceded by all
lovers of poetry that among the great
est lingllsh-speaking poets are
Shakespeare, Tennyson, Longfellow
and Browning, and a knowledge of
the Bible is absolutely essential to an
understanding of any one of them.
They teem with Biblical allusions.
Milton and much of Byron are sealed
books to the man ignorant of the
Bible. Indeed, if you would write
poetry, you cannot become great if
you ignore the great thoughts about
God, eternity, life, love and immortal
ity which the Bible contains. Take
out of English literature the classic
books that demand a knowledge of
the Bible for their proper apprecia
tion, and you have blotted the sun out
of our literary sky.
The History of Art.
Would you study the history of art
in sculpture and painting, you must be
acquainted with the Bible, for the
best paintings of the old masters
and the finest statuary were inspired
for the most part by scenes and ideals
drawn from the Bible. You must re
main ignorant of the genius of Raph
ael and Michelangelo If you refuse
to know the Bible, for tho scenes and
characters they depicted with brush and
chisel were Biblical. The paintings of
Dore, Tissot and Sargent, modern
master artists, cannot be understood
without a knowledge of the Bible.
The great musicians, whose master
pieces have thrilled the souls of mil
lions, cannot be interpreted and ap
preciated without a knowledge of the
Bible. Handel's oratorios of the
"Messiah," "Esther," "Saul," "Joshua."
"Jephtha" and "Israel In Egypt," all of
them masterpieces of musical compo
sition, cannot be understood without
a knowledge of the Bible. Mendels
sohn's "Elijah" and Beethoven's
"Mount of Olives" are enigmas with
out Biblical knowledge.
lie is "the Son of Man." There is
something exceedingly emphatic in
that expression. "Son of Man," writes
Frederick W. Robertson; "our Master
is not called the Son of Mary, but as
if the blood of the whole human race
were in his veins. He calls himself
the Son of Man. He was not tho
Asiatic. He was not tho European.
He was not tho .lew. He was not
the type of that century stamped with
its peculiarities. He was not tho
mechanic. He was not tho aristocrat.
But ho was the man." No one could
mistake Mohammed for such a "Son
or Man." He was a son of Arabia,
and nothing more. The Koran Is,
therefore, a sectarian book, and Mo
hammedanism is cruelly sectarian.
Buddha was a son of India, and noth
ing more. No one could mistake him
for a "Son of man." His writings are,
therefore, sectarian. They are not
adapted to the occidental mind. Con
fucius was a son of China, and noth
ing more. His writings are therefore
sectarian in their national narrowness.
Zoroaster was just a son of Persia.
Only Christ is the universal Man.
HE REALIZED $38 PER ACRE. HIS
OAT8 $37 PER ACRE IN SOUTH

CANADA.
Coaldale, AHa, Can., Nov. 19, 1907.
Sir: 1 beg to say that this year wo
had 349 acres of grain, consisting of I
197 ncres of spring wheat and 152 j
acres of oats. The average yield of
wheat was 38 bushels per aero and
oats 74 bushels. We were offered
$1.00 per bushel for wheat and f0
cents for oats, making tho acre val
ues for the two crops $38.00 and $37.00
respectively.
We also had 50 tons of hay worth
$13.00 per ton, and 500 bushels of po
tatoes, worth 60 centB per bushel, tho
latter off 2 acres of ground.
Our best yields this year were 107
: cres of wheat, making 41 bUBhels per
aero nt $1. 00 per bushel, would bo
$41.00 per acre; 17 acres of oats, yield
ing 95 bushels per acre were sold for
50 cents per bushel. Proceeds, $47.00
per acre.
I might add that 50 acres of our oats
were "stubbled in."
During tho spring of 190C, we hired
about 300 acres broken by steam. We
put in and harvested 55 acres of grain
last year, did the remainder of our
breaking, worked up tho ground and
seeded this year's entire crop, put in
seven acres of alfalfa and five acres
of garden potatoes, trees, etc., all
with one four-horse team. During har
vest we hired other teams, but, aside
from this, and part of the breaking,
the one team did tho work of raising
practically 19,000 bushels of grain,
worth $12,000.
Yours truly,
W. H. PAWSON, JR.

Warner, Alta, Canada, Jan. 9, 1908.
Dear Sir: This Is tho first year of
farming in this settlement. Mr. A. L.
Warner raised twenty-live hundred
and fifteen bushels of fine winter
wheat on one hundred acres of break
ing and Tenny brothers had sixty
acres that went thirty bushels per
acre. The winter wheat that is in
this year looks fi ne.
Spring wheat here went thirty bush
els per acre, oats fifty to eighty, bar
ley fifty, and flax ten to fifteen on
sod.
The settlers here are all well
pleased with the country. The stock
have not required any feed except
the grass up to this date and are. all
fat. Yours truly.
