A RELIGIOUS THOUGHT
BIBLE A MIRROR OF LIFE “Just as experience of life and human nature unfolds the meaning of the great classical writers, so moral and spiritual experience opens up to men the meaning and power of Scripture. At a first reading the Bible seems only an ancient book —picturesque, it may be, and sublime, but without much vital application. But when men have lived longer and suffered a while, and undergone the temptations and perplexities and bereavements of which the Bible speaks, when they have been under the cloud and passed through the sea,’ then those very trials teach them to discern in Scripture depths unseen before.”
