a revelation such as the Bible. If someone were to hand me a book that was as simple

revealed His whole will and wisdom,' I would shake my head and say, 'I cannot believe it;
that is too easy to be a perfect revelation of infinite wisdom.' There must be, in
any complete revelation of God's mind and will and character and being, things hard for
the beginner to understand; and the wisest and best of us are but beginners." R.A.
Torrey
"My advice to Sunday Schools no matter what their
denomination is: Hold fast to the Bible as the sheet anchor of your liberties; write its

are indebted for the progress made in true civilization and to this we must look as our
guide in the future. 'Righteousness exalteth a nation, but sin is a reproach to any people
(Proverbs 14:34)'." Ulysses S. Grant
"At this time I both read and studied all kinds
of literature: cosmography, histories, chronicles, and philosophy and other arts , to
which our Lord opened my mind unmistakably to the fact that it was possible to navigate
from here to the Indies, and He evoked in me the will for the execution of it; and with
this fire I came to Your Highnesses. All those who heard of my plan disregarded it
mockingly and with laughter. All the sciences of which I spoke were of no profit to
me nor the authorities in them; only in Your Highnesses my faith, and my stay. Who
would doubt that this light did not come from the Holy Spirit, anyway as far as I am
concerned, which comforted with rays of marvelous clarity and with its Holy and Sacred
Scriptures." Christopher Columbus
"All that we hear and read should be measured for
accuracy by the standard of the Bible and the 'Holy Ghost filter'." Betty
Miller
