SCRIPTURE: Psalms 119:97-105; Luke 1:1-4: John 20:30-31: II Timothy 3:14-17. DEVOTIONAL HEADING: Psalms 1,19: 137-144.
All-Time Best Seller
Lesson for October 3, 1948
Dr. Foreman
TF ALL the Bibles sold in one year by one manufacturer, the American Bible society, were piled on top of one , another, flat not endwisethat pile ol
Bibles' and testaments would be 26 miles high. In 1947 that firm put out the astonishing total of 9,310.439 Bibles, testaments or portions. During the first 125 years of the society's existence, 305,579.217 copies of Scripture
were printed and sold by them, this would make one shelf 870 miles long. The Bible is the best selling book in theworld. No other book is in its class. Not to know the Bible is not to know the most widely read book, in the world. The American Bible society publishes it in only 167 languages, but parts of it have been translated into as many as 1,000 languages and dialects. Many Authors SUCH popularity must be deserved. There are many reasons why the Bible continues to be, year after year, the all-time best seller. But one . of the reasons is its impressive variety. It is not one book, it is a library of books. Whatever your mood, whatever your need, there is a page in the Bible, somewhere, for you. A Christian will try seriously to appreciate the whole Bible and not merely one or two parts of it. Yet there is such variety in it that invariably some persons are attracted by one feature of it while another feature makes stronger appeal to others. Our- studies these next three months will be in "The Literature of the Bible" and each week we shall be noticing a different feature. This week we give a thought to the tremendous variety of the Bible, along with its underlying unity.
AI THE CHURCHES
CHRISTIAN SCIENCE SERVICES "Unreality" is the subject ot the Lesson-Sermon in all Churches of Christ, Scientist, on Sunday, October 3. The Golden Text is: "The night is far Bpent, the day is at hand: let us therefore cast off the works of darkness, and let us put on the armour of light" (Romans 13:12). Among the citations which comprise the Lesson-Sermon is the following from the Bible: "For it is written, I will destroy; the wisdom of the wise, and will bring to nothing the understanding wf the prudent. For ye see your calling, brethren, how that not many wise men after the flesh, not many mighty, not many noble, are called: But God hath chosen the foolish things of the world to confound the wise; and God hath chosen the weak things of the world to confound the things which are mighty" (I Corinthians 1:19, 26, 27). The Lesson-Sermon also includes the following passage from the Christian Science textbook, "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" by Mary Baker Eddy: "Through astronomy, natural history, chemistry, music, mathematics, thought passes naturally from effect back to cause. Academics of the right sort are requisite. Observation, invention, study, and original thought tee expansive and should promote the growth of mortal mind out of itscif , out of all that is mortal" (p. 195)

Many Types . , h . LOOKING through the BiBll you find all varieties of literary types; you find poetry and prose; stories, essays, sermons, biographies, dramas; rhapsodies, love songs, funeral dirges and battle hymns. Here are pages as prosaic as a, telephone book and here are pages more exciting than any fiction. Here are simple, straightforward ideas that a ' child can understand as soon as he understands the words and here are mysteries so profound that the world's mightiest and boldest minds shrink back in awe. . The Bible is not like a piece ol music played on one single instrument, like a tune on a piccolo; it is more like an immense symphony the' mor,e often we listen to it, the more we hear in it. Many Times , ' . NO ONE knows exactly how long it took for the Bible to be writ
ten. Let us suppose that the earliest parts came from the pen (or j
stylus) of Moses, and the latest i morning and evening three part from about 100 years after . sur,davs each month with Bro. Christ (John and the Revelation). Paul Ne8l preaching each secli Moses flourished around 1200 on, gun(jay B. C, that would mean that the j " Bible was completed 13 centuries nTTi nnTivtrss: phtte ph

In 13 centuries much can happen, and, much did. There is hardly ' any circumstance or crisis, there is j scarcely any time, however hum- I drum or thrilling, which does not "have its match in the Bible. Its
writers were inspired men; they knew God. ' But they also knew the times in which they lived, and thus can speak to ours.
One Theme , FOR all the vast variety of the Bible, there is in it a deep and lofty unity. It is bound together by . its mighty purpose, which ' throbbed in the heart's blood of

The writers of the Bible may have had their lighter moments, but they did not write these pages then.' , They wrote under the irrelstable impulse, born of the Holy Spirit, to make plain te other men what God had revealed to them. ;. So as you come to the Bible, remember Its purpose ts not to make ybu admire or revere it 'as 'a book; its great purpose is to be transparent, a window through which' you . shall see God. :

We see only wires! But at this very moment a woman in San F.ai.uco may bespeaking to her husbaiicVin Shanghai . . . a boy :: Princeton may be inviting a girl in Albuquerque to a football gcaiie . and Mrs. Green of R. D. No. 1 may be placing her order with Mr. Brown of the Crossroads Store. Here where sixty wires cling to the cross-arms of a weathered pole the ends of the earth meet! It's like that in our local churches on Communion Sunday. Whether fifty or.five hundred receive the Holy Sacrament . . . the ends of the earth meet. For the Lord's Supper is not a rite of. one church or one denomination. It is the common sacramental feast of millions of Christians all over the world. Are you availing yourself of this blessed privilege, and are you attending your church regularly? As you receive this Sacrament in your church, your life is linked to the lives of Christians everywhere. And you and they are united in a common communion with God!
