Quotable Quotes

The Bible, we say is on the side of humanity. It is also true that Humanity is on the side of the Bible In all the great crises of Bible history. That it has never failed to do this is in

itself a reason for anticipating that it never will. That "even in the very thick of what are called the Dark Ages there never failed a succession of godly people whose best life was fed from the life of God in the Scriptures.

This power to quicken the life of the soul is the glory of the Bible.The march of the centuries is ever forward toward a world-wide acceptance of monotheism. This was the Hebrew faith, which spoke to Moses in the burning bush in the wilderness, and by the firmness with which it was held and the clearness with which it was preached, you can measure the growth or decline of the Hebrew people For the Bible to reach any heathen land today, is for this great central truth to sound the death-knell of idolatry, as certainly as did the preaching of Paul in Athens declare that, with its strong insistence on the one God in whom all live and move and have their being, the polytheism of the old world must pass away But in revealing the unity of God, this book also reveals the unity of man, and his close relation to his Creator. That God should give His Son for us ceases to perplex us when we believe in Him as Creator and so loving man; and as father and so akin to man. Man is never for a moment regarded by this Book apart from this high origin and this endearing relationship.

CLARENCE A. BARBOUR, D.D.

"People are often unreasonable and self-centred, forgive them anyway

If you are kind, people may accuse you of ulterior motives. Be kind anyway

If you are honest, people may cheat you. Be honest anyway.

If you find happiness, people may be jealous. Be happy anyway.

The good you do today may be forgotten tomorrow. Do good anyway.

Give the world the best you have and it may never be enough. give your best anyway.

For you see, in the end it is between you and God. It was never between you and them anyway."
