Wonderful Book! full of the words, ways, and works of God! His love, His light, His power, His
majesty, His glory, all shine forth from its precious pages. Do we not join the Psalmist in saying,
"I esteem all thy precepts concerning all things to be right?" (Psalm 119:128).

"How valuable must Scripture be even for the knowledge of Nature! It should in every way be the
firm ground of the naturalist, and its induction as reliable as that directly from nature; the
microscope also being as great a revealer in the one case as in the other. Ah, how little patient,
believing work has been done in this direction with regard to Scripture! the neglect of which has
shut us out so much from the light it could have given in matters hidden from the mere man of
science. . . . What a thing it would be to have a faithful company of devout explorers giving
themselves to explore nature with the light of Scripture, and Scripture also, one may reverently
say, in the light of nature. For both are God’s books and both alike truthful, and Christ the theme
of and the key to both."

FRAGMENT
Mr. F. W. Grant made a significant utterance shortly before his departure. Sitting propped in his
chair, with the word of God before him, as was his custom through the days of weary, helpless
waiting, he turned to the writer of these lines, and with a depth of pathos, glancing at his Bible,
said, "Oh, the Book, the BOOK, the BOOK!" It seemed as though he said, "What a fulness there;
how little I have grasped it; how feebly expressed its thoughts."
