S. STROM Main Street McCormick, S. C. ^/v Vy CLnrlos E. Diatan. * The Holy Scriptures. Lesson for April 28th. Psalm 19:7-14. Golden Text: Psalm 119:97. The Bible is necessary for three reasons. First of all, our religion is a historical faith. It is based on certain facts in history, and the documents that witness to these facts must obviously be given a central place in the thought of the Christian Church. Harnack, the great scholar, once said: “If you would know Jesus, you must read your Gospels. There is no other way,” Exactly! Secondly, the Holy Scriptures constitute an authoritative stand ard of both faith and practice. A serious defect of modern religion is its lack of authority. The result often is a confused church, appar ently without an anchor. Now no sane person wants to continually drift about, with nothing upon which to lay hold. You and I need a sure rock for a place of standing. The Bible is such. Freely and rev erently interpreted, it is a most reliable foundation. Think of Luther, wrestling in vain for peace. What saved him? It was his Bible. Opening the sacred pages he came to those great words, “The just shall live by faith.” In the third place, the Bible sat isfies the deepest cravings of man’s soul. Consider the craving for beauty. The Bible/ is wondrously beautiful in diction, imagery, and imaginative power. Who can meas- ure the grandeur of the book of Job, the sublimity of the psalms^ the simplicity of the gospel of John? Then there is the craving for guidance.: “One beam in a dark place,” said Cromwell, “hath ex- ■ ceeding much refreshment in it.’* The Scriptures shed many beams into this sad world where men stumble in the dark. Finally, therei Is the craving for comfort. Com fort, at bottom, is man’s prime need. And we find it in such phrases as “Let not your heart be troubled.” The Bible indeed is the most helpful volume in the world to those in trouble.
