THE CIRCLE OF THE EARTH
Sir,—ln reply to "Kimah" may I say I wrote (in weakness if you because I considered tho honour of God s Word was at stake. The Bible is God's Word and is the most pithy, logical and true Book ever printed in our language. Hence its beautiful way of telling the initiated (not the fools; they don't need to know) that our earth is a comparative sphere. I never said that either Job or Isaiah said that tho world was round (they thought that everybody knew that probably), but that the Bible emphatically does say so. The British scientists who have investigated the Great Pyramid, all with one accord apparently, affirm that its architect knew, not only tljat the world was round, but its distanco from the sun as well.
