"An ever-growing intimacy with the contents of the Bible," said the-Rev. J...5. Murray in'the Kelburn Presbyterian Church, "is a necessary condition of sustained, vital Christian experience. The Bible is something more than a historic relic of a great nation, or even a record of God's dealings with: peopla of a bygone generation. It is above all. a medium through which today God speaks to the hearts, minds,' and consciences of those who hear or read its words. Our concern with it is not so much" to know historical facts about the Jews or even about Jesus Christ,,but to discover the timeless'spiritual realities which lie behind those facts; and to.let the God of truth so bring home those realities to-our-own lives that.we cannot escape theirs significance.'for ■..us.'" . ~
