Truly this witness of God is against you. In this building are "signs
and wonders" even to this day, and as surely also are the eyes of Jehovah
open upon all the ways of the children of men.
Know ye not that the accumulated forces and results of centuries have
been bequeathed to the present generation as a legal heritage for culture
and profit?
Happily for us God has not left Himself without witnesses. Long before
God made bare His arm through Moses, and wrought miracles to convince
Pharaoh and the Egyptians, He had wrought one miracle, a miracle which
would cover the ages; not to be seen by a few only, or last for a day,
but to be seen by the millions and last for centuries.
In this Pyramid we have a valuable inheritance. Its finish, its beauty,
its magnitude provokes our criticism, and yet must command our
admiration. This watchman on the walls of time, this sentinel in charge
of the secrets and treasures of the sires of long ago, this prophet in
the wilderness in rugged garb, proclaiming the will of Heaven, as then
made known, and now manifest, this Daniel who can interpret for us the
future, this mile-stone of the ages, we do revere.
By it we are enabled to adjust our chronological dates, rectify history
in some of its most important points, and judge more correctly of the
attainments of our ancestors; nay, more and better, to form a truer
estimate of ourselves and discern the finger of God in the manipulations
of men, and an overruling Providence in the rise and fall of nations.
These signs and wonders confirm God's Word, for they prove inspiration a
fact; inspiration of a kind and in the very manner demanded by the
unbelieving scientists. Here is a building superhuman, and of course in
part supernatural, like the Bible. In this building the human and the
Divine blend.
If any deny this, it remains with them to account for it, and show how a
people so far back in the world's history could be so wise and learned;
how they could embody so much of the sciences. One thing is certain, if
the Divine had nothing to do with this building, then we are left to the
conclusion that man was much superior to what the Darwinian theory
admits. If void of the Divine, then the development theory is destroyed.
If we admit the Divine, then it follows that inspiration is a fact.
The building is there, and it was there in the day of E
