H 22 On: CHEMISTRY AND CRITICISM (Continued from page 545)
expose their inner life in experience meetings, but spend their time in teaching immigrants or directing boys’ clubs, or studying social conditions. They talk little about saving souls. The religion of tomorrow is bitter be cause Christ has been taken out, just as sugar is bitter when the carbon is separated from it by heat. The Bible says: “All things were’ created by him (Christ), and for him (Christ).” Bible, sugar, salt and all things. Jesus Christ knew the delights that would be added to life by sugar, and He also knew that while man would turn against the God that made him, he would not turn against the sugar made for him, but would com plain bitterly if he did not get enough. The physical taste not being present when man read the Bible, God knew that he would turn against the Book, and so He put in that Book the most wonderful things for man’s guidance, that could be tasted only by faith. When tasted in this manner it would be like sweetness of saccharin in com parison to sugar. Saccharin is five hundred times sweeter than sugar. This wonderful sweet material has the formula, CeHoCOSChNH. There is nothing to indicate by the constituents that such a combination would be five hundred times, sweeter than sugar, and no one would have ever believed it unless it had been tested by tasting. And so the Bible must be tested by the mental taste of faith, which is 500 times that of the mental taste of education. Next to the Bible, “Piigrim’s Prog ress,” by John Bunyan, which first appeared in 1678, has been translated into more languages than any other book. According to information re ceived through the reference librarian of the New York Public library, the number now exceeds 107 languages and dialects. In commenting on this, Frank H. Mann, General Secretary of the Amer ican Bible Society said: “This is a remarkable record for any book and only goes to emphasize the more re markable record of the Bible in this respect. The Bible has been trans lated in part into 770 languages and dialects; more than seven times as many as ‘Pilgrim’s Progress.’ ’’ THE B IBLE AND PILGRIM’S PROGRESS
when accepted it will be sweet as sugar; for the Bible says: “How sweet are thy words unto my taste; yea, sweeter than honey to my mouth” (Psa. 119 :103 ). One of the common things on the breakfast, dinner and supper table is the sugar howl. The father provides plenty of sugar and passes it around to all the family at meal time, because it makes the food enjoyable. If you should ask the occupants of ten thou sand homes if they would like to have the sweetness taken out of sugar, there would be ten thousand homes saying “No!” “No!” Now, sugar makes food taste good; so the Bible gives a taste to life. For the Bible says:— “They shall hear my words; for they are sweet” (Psa. 14 1 :6 ). If some college professors, and sci entists decided to change all the sugar in the world to caramel, do you sup pose the people would stand for it? Then why should the people allow col lege professors to teach that the Bible, the only guide book in the world that a young man has, is not true? Such teachings destroy the sweetness of life. While our day is said to be far ad vanced in knowledge, yet no college professor has ever been deemed to have better judgment than a good mother who teaches her children that to have sweetness and cleanness in life is to take heed to the Word of God. The Bible says: “Wherewithal shall a young man cleanse his way? by taking heed thereto according to thy Word” (Psa. 1 1 9 :9 ). Therefore Christians should demand that the sugar of life, the Bible, must be taught in its en tirety, nothing added and nothing taken away. It must be a pitiful sight to the angels, who are so wonderful and who magnify and glorify God and His Son Jesus Christ, to see spectacled, bald- headed and dyspeptic professors pass ing judgment on the Bible and teach ing young men and women that the Bible is not true, thus turning the sweetness of their mother’s godly teaching into the bitterness of uncer tainty. “The Religion of To-morrow” was the. subject of an article appearing in one of the magazines. Professor Pratt finds that the old-fashioned college prayer meeting has been discontinued and instead we have the “Forum,” or the “Good Government Club,” or the “Night School.” Students no longer
