Quote

I believe the Bible is the best gift God ever gave to man. All the good from the Savior of the world is communicated to us through that book. On a personal spiritual note, Lincoln confessed, I have been driven many times to my knees with the overwhelming conviction, that I had nowhere else to go.

My earlier views of the unsoundness of the Christian scheme of salvation and the human origin of the scriptures have become clearer and stronger with advancing years, and I see no reason for thinking I shall ever change them.
