OWENSBORO TOBACCO CO.
Pept T.C. Owensboro, By.
New Testament. As we come to the
last days of 1922, our thoughts dwell
upon the texts studied and the les
sons drawn from them.
Instead of reviewing the lessons
page bv page, I venture to call at
tention to a root question—have we
been studying the truth, or have we
occupied our time with falsehoods?
The really great question of the
world today is whether the Bible is
the word of God or the work of
man. >
If it is the work of man, it is the
greatest of imposters and must soon
er or latei? be exposed and discarded.
If, however, it is, as we believe,
the word of God, it wall live and
grow, because nothing that man has
said or can say is comparable to the
word of God.
AN UNANSWERABLE ARGUMENT
There are many arguments brought
forward in support of the, Bible—so
•many that I cannot iq a br^ef Bible
tal£ present even ah ctfjs'ttakJt of
them, but I venturd to suggest what
seems to be an unanswerable argu-i
meht and one which rests upon proof
wi,thin-our own;Teach apd within the
comprehension of all., u
The Bible is either the word o{
God or the word of man/ Those who
regard t as a man-made book should
be challenged to put,their theory to
♦he 'test. If man made the Bible, l\e
is, unless he has degenerated, able to
make as good a book today.
Judged by human, standards, man
is far better prepared to write a ;
Bible now than hh w;as when our
Bible was written. *
The characters whose words and !
deeds are recorded in the Bible were j
members of a single race; they lived j
among the hills of Palestine in a tei*- !
ritory scracely larger than one of oui j
counties.
A DIAGRAM OF MAN’S EXIST
/ ENCE'
They d d not have printing presses j
and they lacked the learning of the
schools; they had no great libraries
to consult, no steamships to carry
them around the world and make j
them acquainted with the various j
centers of ancient civilization; they
had no telegraph wires to bring them j
news from the ends of the earth and f
no newspapers to spread before them I
each morning the doings of the day
before.
Science had not unlocked Nature’s
door and revealed the secrets of
rocks below and stars above.
From what a scant'ly supplied
storehouse of knowledge they had to
draw, compared with the unlim ted
wealth of information at man’s com
mand today.
And yet these - Bible characters '
grappled jvith every problem that
confronts mankind, from th^*creation
of the world to eternal life beyond
the tomb. They gave us a diagram
of man’s existence from the cradle to
the grave and set up warning signs
at every dangerous fcoint.
The Bible gives us the story of the
b'rth, the words, the works, the
crucifixion, the resurrection, and the
ascens’on of Him whose coming was
foretold by prophecy, whose arrival
was announced by angel voices, sing
ing peace and goodwill—the story of
Him who gave to the world a code of
morality superior to anything that
the world had known before or has
known since.
A TASK FOR THE ATHEISTS
Let the atheists and the mater'al
ists produce a better Bible than ours,
if they can.
Let them collect the best of their
school to be found among the
graduates of universities—as many ,
' as they please and from every land.
Let the members of this selected
group travel where they will, consult j
such libraries as they like, and em
ploy every modern means of swift
communication.
Let them glean in the f'elds of
geology, botany, astronomy, biology '
and zoology, and then let them roam
at will wherever science has opened
a way.
Let them take advantage of all the
progress in art and in literature, in
oratory and in Wstory—let them ust;
to the full everyinstrumentality that
is employed in modern civilization.
And when they have exhausted
every source, let them embody the re
sults of their best intelligence in a
book and offer it to the world as a
substitute for this Bible of ours.
Have they the confidence that the
prophets of Baal had in their god?
Will they try? J . v
If not, what excuse will they g've?
Has man so fallen from his high
estate that we cannot rightfully ex
pect as much of him now as 19 cen
turies ago?
Or does the Bible come to us from
a source that is higher than man?
MANKIND’S MATERIAL GROWTH
But the case is even stronger. —
The opponents of the Bjble cannot
take refuge in the plea that man is
retrograding. They loudly proclaim
that ma» has grown and that he is
growing still.
They boast of a world-wictfe ad
vance and their claim is founded
upon fact. In all matters except in
the “science of how to live’’ man has
made wonderful progress, The mas
tery of the mind over the forces of
nature seems almost complete, so far
do we surpass the ancients in har
ness'ng the water, the wind and the
lightning. *
• For ages the rivers plunged down
the mountainsides and exhausted
their energies without any' appreci
able contribution to mfljy’s service;
now they are estimated as so many
units of horsepower, and we find that
their fretting and their foammg was
njerely a language which they em
ployed to tell us of their strength and
of their willingness to work for us.
And, while falling water is becoming
each day a larger factor in burden
bearing water, rising in the form of
steam, is revolutionizing the trans
portation methods of the world.
The wind, that first wh spered itt
secret of strength ( to the flapping
sail, is now turning the wheel at the
well, and our flying machines have
taken possession of the air.
THE IMPOTENCE OF i MATERIAL
THINGS
Lightning, the red. demon that,
from the dawn of creatiojj, has been
rushing down its zigzag path through
the clouds, as if ntent only upon
spreading death, metomorphosed into
an errand boy, brings us illumina
tion from the sun and carries our
messages around the globe.
Inventive genius has multiplied
the power of the human arm and
supplied the masses, with comforts of
which the rich d d not dare to dream
a few centuries ago.
Science is ferreting out the hidden
causes of disease and teaching us
how to prolong life.
In every line, except in the line of
character building, the world seems
to have been made over, but these
marvellous changes only emphasize
the fact that man, too, must .be born
aga n, while they show how impotent
are material things to touch the soul
of man and transform him into a
spiritual being.
Wherever the moral standard Is
being lifted up—wherever life is be
coming larger in the vision that di
rects it and richer in its fruitage, the
improvement is traceable to the Bible
and to the influence of the God ana
Christ of whom the Bible tells.
AN UNACCEPTED CHALLENGE
The athe st and the materialist
must confess that man should be able
to produce a better book today than
man, unaided, could have produced
in any previous age. The fact that
they have tried, time and time again,
only to fall each time more hopeless
ly, explains why they will not—why
they cannot—accept the challenge
thrown down by'the Christen world
