Excerpt from The Bible, Vol. 1: Its Structure and Purpose Many who ought to have proven champions and defenders of the faith once delivered to the Saints, and to the Covenant of Christ, are faint hearted and flee in dismay. The author of this series we know; he is a man of strong convictions and of the courage of his convictions, and he shows the Spirit of David, and with sling and smooth stones gathered from the brook of the Word of God, he goes forth and meets this Philistine boaster, challenging him to battle in the name of Jehovah; His writings, we feel, are what in our day meet the needs of the great crisis. He is an intelligent advocate of the truth, and he finds and exposes the weak points. Of the foe that assails the truth. The value of his work is acknowledged every where by the friends of God's Word. We' can safely commend his books to the careful reading of all believers, and we hepe that they may have a Wide circulation, and may be called to the atten tion of many whose minds have been disturbed as to the foundation of their faith.
