Hovel) Company. I»r. Moore ha* been associated with j the Intellectual and religious life of! Virginia for a number of years, dur- ! :ng which time he has come to bo regarded as an authority on all dues- I tiona in his chosen field of endeavor, fhe appearance of his new work, en title "The Indispensable Hook,” Is a matter of much Interest. His pbas for universal acquaintance with the Bible as the one indispensable hook >f the world are baaed op the facts •it its great influence for good in the manifold aspects of human life. Tiie modern tendency of th-- coun try towards prapmantUm is regarded by the author an idle theory and tain motion have no place in this invalu able volume. HI* arguments are pre sented logically and simply, but are free from the didactic element that is u once distasteful and boring to read ers at large. The book is one that .•an be read v, 1th enjoyment alike by ministers and by laymen. Convincing In its arguments, supported by num erous quotations from the writing on the word of Hod by men of letters of various belief, theological discussions and questions of doctrine are barred from Its paces, as Mr. Moore sets forth the need for Ibfn book on its own merits. Says the author In the opening chapter, when he apeak* of the Bible ns the Palladium of our fathers who Fettled this country to secure religious liberty; 'The only guarantee of our civilisation and charm t- r and culture, nup freedom and prosperity and pow er. is Up word ol God.” It belongs to the literature of knowledge and to the literature of power, and Its place in the literary vulture- of a nation is of foremost important. Mr. Moore laments the Ignorance of the average college student in regard to thi*. tie greatest of all books, when even sole ly considered from a literary view point. Th<- literature of th** world is rich in allusions to its lore, and, as shown by a careful te,st, the greater number of these arc meaningless to many who to graduated from the highest universities of America. The fundamental basis of our gov ernment is shown to have been de rived from the form of government which God ordained for the Hebrews. The part the Bible ha* played in moulding our national Ideals is re vealed In a chapter entitled "The Bible and National Ideals," which is con cluded thus: "As It is to the Bible we are indebted for the existence of our national ideal* and Republican institutions, so to the Bible we must look for their preservation through out the future" Mr. Moore urges th<- use of the Bible ut a text-book in our public schools. He does not advocate Its enforced use by Protestants, Catholics and Jews, but that any parent should be permitted to have his children Instructed In It* teachings if lie desires to do so. He urges the necessity for such instruc tion. hut does not enter into the method of such. The benetlcent Influence of this book and its teachings on the moral and benevolent life of a country Is shown by the comparison of moral conditions In heathen and Christian lands. The picture of what a civilisation would be where its precepts were carried out universally is vividly painted. As to the force of the Bible in one's spiritual life. Mr. Moore quotes the suc cinct statement of Mwight L. Moody, who said: "I know the Bible is In spired la-cause it inspires me." Tile word of God is living and active, as is shown by the following striking para graph ‘ from the concluding pages of Mr. Moore's book. Here is the real se cret of the pow er of tills l*ook. Not its incomparable wealth of literature, nor its Incomparable wealth of moral teaching, but its Evangel—Its revela tion of a resurrection of the Lamb of God. that taketh away the sin of the world. That meets the deepest need oi the soul. “And I. tf I be lifted up,” said Jesus, “will draw all men unto me." FOLK TALES EVERY CHILD KHOt'LD KNOW. Edited by Ham ilton W. Mabie.
