Iir Palmer's theme wit. "The lillile," mill whs drawn from Mutt xxlv:3S: "Heaven urid earth shall piiHH away, but my word Khali not pan away." Iir. l'almer treated the nutiji-i t uruli.T three division: First. He Hioke of tho bllde Itself. H":tiii'l. Of the evidence, of ItH In spiration. Third. Of Its ln'lestrutll)lllty. L'lnler the llrnt dlvlnlon the seitker reheiirtted with great power and well choHcii words the value of the bible n.H a hixtory, an a book of ethics anil us n book of the sublimest works of literature. It was written by Inspired men from various wulk of life, such as fishermen, kltiK", priests, lawKlv ers, prophets, tioets, historians and theologians. He said ft was invnlu uble us a text book, and that no stu dent of history could be complete In hln study without n thorough view of the bible, because It was the cradle of h. story. Dr. Palmer suld that the bible had Inspired the world's greatest artist., and furnished theme, for their paintings and stntnes, instancing Ilaplmel and Michael Angelo, The bible also had Inspired many of the world's greatest writers and was quo ted or Incorporated In much of the best literature. Thl. was Illustrated hy the many gems taken from the bible by Hhukespeare, ' the world' greatest dramatist, also by the death bed scene of Sir Walter Scott, the world's greatest historical novelist and one of the world', great poet., who said when dying: "There Is but one book and that Is the bible." The Bibl. Needed in School.. Pr. Palmer .aid that the bible was needed In nil our public schools and colleges an n text book In history, literature and ethics, and that we ought not to ollow the devil or any body else to keep It out of our schools. He would not teach sectarianism in the public schools, but the morals of the bible were needed as well ns Its historical value and literary worth. Under the second division Dr. Pal mer compared the evidence, of the Inspiration of the bible with the evi dence, of the inspiration of the Koran, the Veda, and other great religions. These all claimed to have come di rectly from the greatest God of the universe while the bible claimed that it was written by' men inspired by Ood. The mere claim of It. divine origin, which it held in common with other sacred books, wa. not sufficient to satisfy the skeptical inquirer. A Challenge Test. The flnnl test to which he challenged nW other religions to meet Christianity j was "the power which the blhle had to make bad men good." In this chal Icnjte, he Included Monnunlsm, Confuc ianism, MohenmiedanlHin and all oth ers. He clte-1 the condition of Mor mons and their practices a. evidence of their failure to meet this 'est, Dr. Paltn'r cl ilmed that the heathen darkness of the lands where the Koran and the Wdns were taught and obeyed Is sufficient proof of the falsity of their claim to divine authorship. . Under the third division Dr. Pulmer showed the Indestructibility of the bible by the fulfillment of the prophe cies concerning Egypt. That at one time It was the center of the world In power and learning, but now inslgnifl cant except for it. ruins. The bible foretold that It would be one of the least of the nations of the earth Through thousands of year, the bible had stood firm, although kingdoms had arisen and decayed. To Outlast Gibraltar. The 'speaker .aid the time might come when even Gibraltar might be washed away by the sea. but even then God's word would stand more firm than ever. Dr. Palmer closed with two touch ing scenes from his own life, one when a little boy ho stood at his mother's deathbed. She died at the age of 22. ghe kissed her husband and nix chlMren goodbye and then sang a hymn and piuised Into glory, by thin h'f know that th bible stand, firm even In death and defies It. terrors, Again, many years after he and his brothers, two beside himself being minister, of the gospel, with his sis ters, gathered at their father', death bed, Although i2 yeuT of age, his head white as the snow, he died with the bible as his guide to glory and the triumph of Christ's salvation as his crown of life. rices World's Record Breaking Dinner Sets China Crockery Glassware Ornaments Prices never so cheap Need the room for New Holiday Goods Come early just to look.
