In this book, generally called the Bible, more knowledge is at time concealed than is revealed to the ordinary reader.
Like a mine, its purest gold may not be found on the surface; its richest veins may only reward those who have the patience to toil for years.
Whose lamp of faith, no matter how dim at times, keeps steadily burning – until somehow or somewhere, the thread of gold is found that leads upwards and onwards even to the Creator Himself.
It would be rank presumption on my part if I made a attempt to elucidate even a fraction of those wonders of the Sacred Volume that are revealed to some and concealed from others.
Such an account of these revelations, may perhaps be better left in the hands of those whose profession or ministry gives them more intimate cause to interpret its meanings in support of whatever creed or religion they represent.
For me, it will be sufficient in the sort space at my disposal if I am able to call attention to one single instance – but one of radiant importance – to prove that this wonderful book not only has in its pages the evidence of Divine Design in the Creator’s construction of things – but that it contains in itself a systematic plan and design that must carry with it incontrovertible proof that not only is the Sacred Volume inspired, but that is has within itself the proofs of its inspiration, so that all mankind might believe in its message.
It has been handed down to us that the first books of the Bible were written or compiled by one of the greatest men of all time, a man called Moses.
Let us consider for a moment who this man was and what his claims are for universal respect and admiration.
Briefly, he was born of the priestly house of Levi. He was called Moses because Pharaoh’s daughter saved him from the waters of the Nile. He was adopted by her and became her son.
In this position, as the child of the great Pharaoh’s daughter, he received the highest education that was possible in that wonderful land of Egypt.
