The Bible teaches religion because it tells us of men who had religion. As I read the Bible I come into contact with real men, men of flesh and blood, men who possess my nature, my needs, my thoughts, my hopes and my fears. I read the outpourings of their souls : lam admitted into the innermost chambers of their hearts. They tell me of the faith that is m them, and they show me how that faith has brought them out of darkness into light, how the God m whom they trusted has helped and saved them. It is the story of the growth of man's spiritual nature, of the struggle and the storm and the stress through which he came to the light of the perfect knowledge of God; and it reflects with unveiled face, as m a mirror, the glory of God m the lives of men who have sought and found him. — Bqv, Richard Brook, M.A. • f In honouring God and doing Hia work put forth all thy strength."
