Would that many others would be as manly. Dr. Riley, referring to the theories of. critics concerning the construction of the Pentateuch, says: “ When 4,000 years from now the living critics ex­ hume the First- Baptist Church and find my library, they will take my hooks and prove that they are- composites.
