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

"he earliest and the latest are
hus far apart in time, and the
books are of widely diverse na

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

Jesus to help them and guide

(UP) A committee of the Paci

today undertook a study of a $1,

cated the expensive program.
The decision to refer the pro

use of existing travel agencies,
and Lee Jacobs of Seattle sug
gested a "dramatic" tourist pro
gram in California, from which
half the tourist trade comes.
