The Fundamentals. a supposition discredits the prevalent critical scholarship, rather than the Sacred Scriptures. But pfesent space forbids further enumeration of particu lars. I t is sufficient to say that while many more positive con firmations of the seemingly improbable statements of the sa cred historians can be adduced, there have been no discoveries which necessarily contravene their statements. The cases al ready here enumerated relate to such widely separated times and places, and furnish explanations so unexpected, yet natu ral, to difficulties that have been thought insuperable, that their testimony cannot be ignored or rejected. That this history should be confirmed in so many cases and in such a remarka ble manner by monuments uncovered 3,000 years after their erection, can be nothing else than providential. Surely, God has seen to it that the failing faith of these later days should not be left to grope in darkness. When the faith of many was waning and many heralds of truth were tempted to speak with uncertain sound, the very stones have cried out with a voice that only the deaf could fail to hear. Both in the writ ing and in the preservation of the Bible we behold the handi work of God.
