Christ and the life of Christ is at this moment inspiring the literature of the world as never before, and raising it up a witness against waste and want and war.

Have been reading "Genesis" several Sundays, not as a Christian reads for "spiritual consolation," "instruction," etc., not as aninfidel reads to carp and quarrel and criticize, but as one who wishes to be informed and furnished in the earliest and most wonderful of all literary productions.
