Primarily the Bible is a handbook setting forth the way of God
with individuals. When an inventor sells his sewing-machine, or
car, he accompanies the mechanism with an illustrated handbook
describing each wheel, each lever and hidden spring. Now the
Bible is an illustrated handbook that accompanies the mechanism
of the soul, with all its mental levers and moral springs.
Having first stated the facts about life and duty and destiny,
the Bible goes on to illustrate these facts. (Text.)--N. D.
HILLIS.
