President Coolidge and The Book A LET TER w r i t te n by President Coolidge to the organizer of a Bible Class, in Washington, was' made public through the daily papers the past month. He deplores,7the fact that “popular fa miliarity with the Scriptures is not as great at the present time as it has been in the past in American.life.’l " : Mr, Coolidge’s letter declared that the foundations of American society and government rest so much on the teach ings of the Bible that “it would be dif ficult to support them if faith in these teachings should cease to be practically universal in our country.” : “Everyone who has given the matter any thought,” the President said, “knows of the great literary value of the Bible and the broad culture, aside from its re ligious aspect, that comes from a general familiarity with it. Although-it has been the subject of most careful and painstak ing study for hundreds o f years, its most thorough students find in it a constant revelation of new thoughts and new ideals which minister to the spiritual na ture of the race. “It would be difficult to conceive of any kind of religious instruction which omit ted to place its main emphasis on the precepts of this great book. It has been the source of inspiration and comfort to those who have had the privilege of com ing in contact with it, and wherever it goes it raises the whole standard of hu man relationship.” The Sweetest Burden Samuel Rutherford said: “Christ’s Cross is the sweetest burden that ever I bore; it is such a burden as wings are to a bird, or sails to a ship, to carry me for ward to my harbor.”
