DARE WE PAY THE PRICE?
Thia year of nineteen twenty-five
ia memorable as the four hundredth
anniversary of the translation of the
New Testament from the Greek lan
guage into the language of the com
mon people of the English race.
. The cost of the gift of the open
Bible "in the language of the masses"
of the nations and tribes of men, con
stitutes a long, a glorious, but a tragic
chapter in history. Not a foot of its
progress has been made but the foot-
printa of its messengers have been
marked with their own blood.
No one can think seriously of this
without asking the question, why is
this so? And with thia question the
other, What has been the motive that
haa prompted the persistent deter
mination for its distribution? and
why the opposition? Has the con
tention been marked, by each of the
opposing forces', by simply brutish
spite and defiance?
I answer, on neither side has it been
aimply by spite or defiance. It exists
immeasurably deeper than these tem
pers. No one can read the life
sketches of the men who have kept its
teachings imperishable, without being
convinced, and deeply impressed with
the fact that they have been men of
marked sincerity, and of earnest
yearning for the uplift and best wel
fare of their own, and other people,
and have alike seen in the scriptures
the greatest transforming agency
known to men.
But why the opposition? ' Some
thing far deeper than "spite" or "de
fiance" has marked the activity. No
where under the sun ia there to be
found words so penetrating, and per
sonal, and universal in their applica
tion. No man can entertain sin in
his life and read its pages without
feeling a sting of guilt and condem
nation. Turn where he will, the
"handwriting" is on the wall. The
sinner and the Bible have never been
pleasant company. The greatest proof
of its divine origin is in the hate
which the ungodly have for it.
This contention is a Jiving issue,
and will be to the end of time. The
loss of the Bible to the public school
it- no less a product of this warfare
than the consignment to the flames
of the unfinished work of Tyndale,
of the burning of his body at the
stake. To preserve the open Bible
is not a whit less an issue today
than when Wycliff, and Erasmus, and
Tyndale, and Luther stood as martyrs
to its truth. The widespread scoff, of
ridicule of today is no less a weapon
in the hands of its enemies than was
the faggot and the cross of ages past.
The burlesque insiduously injected
into almost every movie film is an
insult to decent thought and a crime
against human life. The cost of the
past has been great. The cost of the
winking attitude of parenthood of
today, will be written in the blasted
lives of the childhood of America to
the third and fourth generation. Dare
we pay the price?

Pastor Methodist Community Church.
