ABSTRACT
In these later days, when science is carrying devastation into the land of faith, and godless education is everywhere offering the fruit of the treo of knowledgo to the children of men, it behoves those who still cling to the faith once delivered to the saints to offer such small aid as they may in defending the citadel of Christianity, tho Holy Bible, against its foes. It is necessary to know thoroughly what is in the Bible, so that those who turn tho Bread of Life into stones to cast against their enemies may not suddenly shoot one out of an unsuspected catapult. All that is in the Bible is written for our learning, and if scientific statements are made therein they must be made for our instruction. Gen. i. contains some biological facts of great interest and novelty. The tree of knowledge of good and evil, and tree of life, are plants quite beyond tho reach of modern botany.
