It may be helpful to some who are
wondering If the IJlblo Is tho Word of
God, If we stuto
some reasons why
Christian men and
women Mleve the
lilhle.
It Is not a mark
of learning, as
some would hnve
us thlnif, to dis
believe the Bible.
Mr. G I a d s t o ne,
England's great
est s t a t e s m an,
suld, "It has been
my prlvll'-ge to
know Intimately
sixty great men
nnd all but six of
them were earnest
acknowledged Christians."
Belief In the Bible Is not a leap In
tho dark. It Is not attempting to be
lieve It when we hnve no evidence
whether It Is true or not. Belief In the
Bible rests upon evldeneo which to
those who believe In tho Bible Is suf
ficient for them to accept lt as the
Word of God or man.
I. Ono evldeneo upon which our be
lief In the Bible rests, Is Its own testi
mony. Believing lt Is unfnlr to Judge
lt without hearing what It may have to
soy for itself we listen to Its own tes
timony. One does not rend far In the Bible
before he comes to such statements as
these: "Thus suld tho Lord," or
"The Lord said." These phrases, or
like ones, occur over five hundred times
In the first five books of the Bible, and
over twelve hundred times in the
prophetlcnl books. In addition to this
we find that the men who wrote the
Old and New Testaments claim their
utterances to be divinely Inspired. And
the New Testament tells us that "holy
men of old spake as they were moved
by the Spirit of God." nnd thnt "all
Scripture Is given by Inspiration of
God," that Is, God-breathed.
Besides this, the book assumes to
speak authoritatively from God to man.
Now with this testimony before us, we
are shut up to one of two conclusions;
either It Is what lt claims to be, or It
Is a fraud. Having exnmlned, studied
and tested the book with the acid test
of experience, we are persuaded that
Its lofty clnlm Is established.
II. Another evidence which hns led
us to this conclusion nnd upon which
we rest our belief Is the unity.
While It Is a library of sixty-six
books, It Is nevertheless one single
book and while lt wns written by about
forty different writers, lt has a single
ness of iftan and purpose. This In the
face of the fact thnt Its authors wrote
over a period of something like fif
teen hundred years. There is only one
wny to account for this unity nnd
that Is by believing thnt there was a
grent architectural mind that designed
and executed his plan.
III. Again nn evidence upon which
we rest our btdief in the Bible Is Its
teaching.
It is the one book thnt tells us nbont
God; who ho Is nnd whnt he Is; that
tells tis about man, whence he came,
whnt he Is, and whither ho Is going.
It reveals the love of God In the plan
nnd purpose of redemption through
Christ. Without the Bible, we should
by searching try to find out God nnd
by guessing to discover ourselves. By
It, we have come to know God, whom
to know aright Is life everlasting, and
to know ourselves.
Whnt wns snld of our Lord can be
said of the Bible: No book ever
spake like this book. It Is, Indeed, a
lamp unto our feet nnd a light unto
our path and shows us the way to thnt
city whose builder nnd maker Is God.
IV. A fourth evidence upon which
our belief rests Is fulfilled prophecy.
Take for Instnnce tho prophecies
concerning Christ of which there are
three hundred and thlrry-three In the
Old Testament. All the prophecies
concerning his first advent have min
utely been fulfilled. These prophecies
Stand the severest tests, so thnt we
know thnt we nre not deceived ns to
their fulfillment so there wns no pos
sible wny for the prophet to hnve
known how they were coming out. But
they came out as predicted. This Is
only one of mnny lines of prophecy,
which we would exnmlne. Those con
cerning the Jews which led a court
preacher, when asked by his sovereign
to prove the Scriptures, In ono word
to answer: "The Jews, your majesty,
the Jews." And the prophecies con
cerning the grent political systems of
the world ; such ns Babylon, Medo-Per-sla,'
Greece, nnd Borne.
Let anyone, who Is In doubt about
the Scriptures study the evidence of
prophecy nnd he will find ground for
fnlth In the Bible.
V. Then finally, the evidence of whnt
tho Bible does is ground for our be
lief In lt. By its fruits It can be
Judged. It hns civilized nations, trans
formed the lives of millions, given
hope to the hopeless, cheer to tho
downhenrted, comfort to the sorrow
ing, consolation to the dying nnd tnken
hell out of life nnd put heaven lu.
What the Bible does gives us ground
to believe It must be of God.

"A peasnnt of Suvoy heard of the
death of the second of his sons, killed
In the Vosges, as he was setting orth

ing. The oxen were yoken In front
of the house. The pottmnn handed

"Ho went Into the house to fetch
his spectacles to read In the presence
of his wife, who, anxious, hud fol
lowed him, and In that of the neigh
bors, who already knew the news; then
banding the paper to the companion
of his life of labor, said simply: 'God
found them ready.' He added slowly :
'My poor wife.' And he went off to
the plowing." From "A Crusader In

dying for our sine.
The grand climax of the yonrs les
roiih thus far Is reached In this one.
If the significance of the crucifixion Is
not apprehended, all the lessons thus
far are meaningless. It Is not a mat
ter of learning lessons taught by a
great teacher, or Imitating the example
of a great nnd good mnn, but of ap
prehending the vicarious atonement
made by thu world's Bedeemer. Christ
snves, not by his ethics, but by his
shed blood. His death was purposeful
and absolutely voluntary.
I. Jesus Arraigned Before Pilate (vv.
1-15).
In tho early morning, nfter the mock
trial before the high priest, they bound
Jesus and delivered hlin to Pilate.
They act freely In this according to
tho evil desires of their own hearts,
yet he was delivered up by tho deter
minate counsel nnd foreknowledge of
God. The Jews would gladly hnve
killed him, but they had not the au
thority to do so. They delivered hlin
to the Gentile governor, thus Involv
ing the Jews nnd the Gentiles In the
crowning act of tho world's sin. Pilate
questioned him without delay, for they
accused him of pretending to be a king
a reliel. "Thou snyest," wns bis only
reply. To the slanderous accusations
of the chief priests and elders he made
no reply, to the utter astonishment of
Pilate. Pilate sought to release him
becnuse he wns convinced of his Inno
cence. After several unsuccessful ef
forts to escnpe responslbllty the ex
pedient of letting the people choose
between Burabbns nnd Jesus wns re
sorted to. He no doubt thought thnt
they would choose Jesus rnther than
the notorious Barabbas. Many today
are seeking to escaK responsibility
like Pilate, nnd others are making the
awful choice of Burabbus Instead of
Christ.
II. Jesus Crowned With Thorns (vv.
lO-'JO).
Knowing that Jesis had been con
demned for claiming to be Israel's
king, they In mockery crown ilin wlth
a wreath of thorns, and snlute him
"King of the Jews." Not only this, but
they smote him on the head and spit
upon him nnd went through a process
of mock worship. The crown of thorns
typifies the curse which he bore for
man's sin,
III. Jesus Crucified (vv. 21-11).
1. Led nwny to the place of crucifix
ion (vv. 21-23).
At first they compelled him to benr
his own cross, but when physical weak
ness made this Impossible, they com
pelled Simon tho Cyrenlan to bear lt
for him. It Is beautiful to note that
the son of this Cyrenlan whu bore the
cross of Jesus came to believe on him
(Romans 10:13). Because of the
scourging and cruel Indignities heaped
upon him, they nctunlly were obliged
to hear him to Golgotha. His face wns
marked by the thorns end cruel blows,
so that there was "no form or comeli
ness" (Isa. 53:2). All this he endured
for us. lie drank this bitter cup to Its
very dregs and refused to drink tho
"wine mingled with myrrh," which
would have deadened his pain. He
went nil the wny In his sufferings.
2. Gumbllng for the clothing of the
Lord (vv. 21, 25).
Having nailed him to the cross they
gnmbled for the seamless robe under
the very cross where he was dying, nnd
In their heartless cruelty they sat
down to watch him die (Mutt. 27:30)
3. The superscription (v. 20).
It was customary to place over the
victim on the Cross the name and
crime of the offender. Though Pilate
did this In mockery to vex the Jews,1
the title wns absolutely true. He was
Indeed their King. They had long
looked for hlin, and now when he came
they crucified him. Though ho wore a
crown of thorns In derision, be will
come ngaln wearing a crown of glory,
and before him all shall bow.
4. Between two'thieves (vv. 27, 28)
This added to his shame. His Identi
fication with two robbers was the ful'
fillment of the Scripture "Numbered
with the transgressors."
5. The dying Savior reviled (vv. 29-
82).
This reviling wns engnged In by
;he pnssers-by, the chief priests nnd
the thieves who were crucified with
him. In this nameless agony nnd
shame they taunted hlin by bidding
him come down from the cross, nnd de
risively saying, "He saved others, hlnv
self he cannot snve." They uneon
sclously uttered a grent truth. Ho
could not save himself nnd others, so
he chose to de to snve others.
0. Darkness upon the land (v. 33),
This was nt noonday. So shocking
wns this crime that nature threw
around the Son of God n shroud to hide
him from tho gnzo of u Godless com
pnny.
7. The cry from the Cross (vv. 34
37).
What nwful nngulsh when God laid
the world's sins upon his beloved Son 1
When the price wns fully pnld. Jesus
dismissed his spirit No one took bhj
life ; he gave lt up. His death wus un
like that of any other.
8. Tho rent veil (v. 38).
This symbolized the giving up of his
life (Heb. 10:20).
0. The centurion's confession (v. 39)
10. The lingering group of women
(w. 40, 41).
They who hnd lovingly ministered
to him In life were waiting to see
where they could bury his precious
body. ..... ,

Bridging the Gap
From Steer to Steak
Live stock is raised on the
farms and ranches of the West.
Meat is eaten in the large cities
of the East, and by our boys in
France thousands of miles
away.
The day of transporting live
animals from ranch to seaboard
and overseas has passed. There
was too much waste. The mod
ern packer locates his large and
specialized plants in the produc
ing regions. He ships the dressed
beef in refrigerator cars, and
holds it in his own refrigerated
branch warehouses until deliv
ered to the retailer. For ship
ment to foreign ports, he
transfersthe meat to refrigerated
ships.
By means of his nation-wide organ
ization the modern packer maintains a
continuous flow of meats to all parts
of the country, so that each retailer
gets just the quantity and quality of
meat his trade demands, and at the
time he wants it.
Swift & Company recently shipped
1,000 carloads of meat products in one
week to our Armies and to the Allies.
Bridging the gap from ranch to con
sumer can be done successfully and
at low unit costs and profits only by
large business organizations.
Swift & Company's profit on meat,
always so small as to have practically
no effect on prices, is now limited by
the Government to about 2 cents on
each dollar of sales.
