How they loved
to picture its scenes. Had all the writings of the New Testament been
lost, we should have known the most important events of our Lord's life
on earth from these faded paintings and worn carvings alone.

Love, joy, peace; the love of Christ from which nothing can separate
us; the joy which even the fires of martyrdom cannot quench; the peace
which the world does not give, and cannot take away. This is the
message which these first Bible pictures bring to us all. For to the
early martyrs the Bible was what God intends it should be to us--a
living power, a Divine Voice, a constant source of strength and
inspiration on the heavenward journey.

BIBLE STORIES! Who does not love Bible Stories? Even the words
themselves bring back memories of past years, when, as children, we
listened to stirring tales of those men and women of old whose names
are so familiar, and of whom we were then first taught. Crude in style
perhaps many of the stories were, but none the less interesting.
Perhaps there were things we could not quite understand, and knowledge
had not sufficiently advanced to explain, but we accepted them all.
Now great progress has been made in research; modern discoveries in
Egypt supply the details which were lacking, and the old stories can be
told again in a new style, in the light of fuller knowledge, with added
interest, and with a force which previously had been impossible. How
wonderful the result? Our Bibles become dearer to us than ever before;
we need have no fear of being asked the reason of our belief; what we
merely accepted before is now proved for us.

Let us take, for example, the story of Moses. In this, modern
discovery has done splendid service, supplying just those details most
needed, as though his sayings and doings had been preserved for our
reading. 'Where Moses went to School' is a fascinating title.
