, to join his family in Europe. Before this gentleman went
away, I asked him if he believed the Bible, and his reply was: "From
back to back, every word of it."

"Deluged with Blood."

A good many years ago there was a convention held in France, and those
who held it wanted to get the country to deny a God, to burn the Bible,
wanted to say that men passed away like a dog and a dumb animal. What
was the result! Not long since, that country was filled with blood. Did
you ever think what would take place if we could vote the Bible and the
ministers of the gospel and God out from among the people? My friends,
the country would be deluged with blood. Your life and mine would not be
safe in this City to-night. We could not walk through these streets with
safety. We don't know how much we owe God and the influence of His
gospel among even ungodly men.

-- There are dark and mysterious things in the Bible now, but when you
begin to trust Christ your eyes will be opened and the Bible will be
a new book to you. It will become the Book of books to you.

-- I notice if a man goes to cut up the Bible and comes to you with one
truth and says, "I don't believe this, and I don't believe that,"--I
notice when he begins to doubt portions of the Word Of God he soon
doubts it all.

-- If you will show me a Bible Christian living on the Word of God, I
will show you a joyful man. He is mounting up all the time. He has
