God's Word!

"This Word of God, the masterpiece of God, the Book above and beyond all books as a river is beyond a rill in reach, as the sun is beyond a candle in brightness, as Niagra is above and beyond a mud puddle in glory, is immortal in its hopes---a complete code of the laws, the most entertaining and authentic history ever published, the best covenant ever made, the best deed ever written, the best will ever executed, it comes to us drenched in the tears of millions of contritions, worn with the fingers of agony and death, expounded by the greatest intellects, steeped in the prayers of many saints, stained with the blood of martyrs. The accuracies of its statements and prophecies is substantiated by every turn of the excavator's spade in Bible lands, by history, by multitudinous inscriptions deciphered among classic ruins, by the unlocking of Egyptian hieroglyphics.
From rusty coins and corroded marbles we find confirmations of its own veracity. Infinite in height, infinite in depth, it is---and will forerver be. Volumes that would fill the shelves of many libraries have been written on single chapters, single verses, single words. Yet those chapters and verses are as fresh, as fertile, as inexhaustible as ever. The fountain in which drying martyrs cooled their hot faces, the pillow on which saints of all ages have rested their heads, it breaks the fetters of the slave, takes the heat out of life's fierce fever, the pain out of parting, the sting out of death, the gloom out of the grave.
Addressing itself to be the universal conscience, speaking with binding claims, commanding the obedience of all mankind, the one and only hope of information concerning divine revelation, the world's creation, the soul's salvation, human destiny and the realities of eternity, it offers the first and demands the last by its unequivocal, 'Thus saith the Lord'."
