' t SUNDAY SCHOOL LESSON Ail Books of the Bible Tell Story Of How Men Sought and Found God Scripture: Psalm 145: Proverbs 2:1-9; II Corinthians Sa il Peter 1:21 By WILLIAM E. GILROY, D. D. Peter says in his second epistle that "holy, men of God spake as they were moved by the Holy Ghost." That is the origin of the Bible, and the Bible itself is the proof of what Peter says. It hears upon it the marks of its origin in the lives of holy men. It has lived through the ages be cause it is the book of life; be cause it has brought to succes sive generations of men and wo men the light, and help, and Suidance- they have needed. It Is the book that tells of God. and of Jesus Christ, and of the Chris tian way of living. We speak of the Bible as "it," hen we really ought to say "they" for the Bible is not one ok, but many; Our Bible con sists of 66 Iiooks, 39 in the Old Testament and 27 in the New Ti"'ament. ; These books origi nally were separate writings, and the writing of them occu pied at least several centuries, "he earliest and the latest are hus far apart in time, and the books are of widely diverse na ture. Some are history, some are Prophecy, some are poetry, some romance, some are sermon ic. , What all the books of the .Biblff save In common is that they tell j"e story of how men were seek "jK God and finding Him, and "ig the "revelation of God "wn.

He had been confined to a hos pital at Condon since the attack. His condition is said to be great ly improved. realism, dealing with human sin and tragedy, as well as with tri umDhant faith and achievement. That the Bible should have been so marvelously preserved through the ages is only less wonderful than that it should ever have been written at all. How much do we value it? What is it worth to us? We rev erence it, but do we read it? And do we read it intelligently, rec ognizing the variety and the dif ferences in the books? If we read the Bible aright, we shall realize that it is not all of one piece. It is a record of man's quest of God, and men did not find God all at once. Patriarchs did things that would have been unworthy of apostles, because they knew God only partially. Even the apostles were a long time coming to the full truth con cerning God, though they had Jesus to help them and guide them It is very important to erap this fact of the progressive revelation in the Bible. From Genesis to Revelation is like the progress from the candle to the powerful electric light. It is a record of llflht, but of increasing ugh'- '' o'J, ...., This coming woe is BiDie Week."
