nature and scope of inspiration; the inlUience of the Bible (past, 

 present, and future) in the education of mankind ; the romance of 

 the English IJible ; the debt which the Bible owes to the land of its 

 birth ; the new aspect assumed by the old controversy with Physical 

 Scientists; the principles on which the Bible maybe compared with 

 other 'Sacred Books'; the permanent value of the Bible — its 

 meaning and its message. But many other questions are raised on 

 the way, which cannot, in every case, be answered at present. The 

 Author is one of those who are convinced that the Bible has a great 

 future before it, a future which is all the brighter and not the 

 gloomier as a result of modern criticism ; and he endeavours to 

 exhibit to the thoughtful reader, in language as little technical as 

 possible, some of the grounds of his conviction. 



In the present volume the Bible is treated in a more general way, 

 though concrete illustrations are given to make clear the principles 

 enunciated. There are two other volumes in contemplation in 

 which the Author proposes to deal with the Old Testament and the 

 New Testament separately, and to describe (still as far as possible 

 in untechnical language) what may be known of the origin and 

 growth, on the human side, of the various elements of those two 

 sacred literatures.

 are engaged in work among lads, attempts to describe in detail how 

 to deal with a working boy from the time when he leaves day- 

 school and goes to work till he settles down as a married man, the 

 object throughout being to make him a useful, intelligent, and 

 attached member of his Church. 



The worker, and the qualifications necessary for the work, are 

 first discussed, and the popular view of the importance of athletic 

 ability for success with lads is controverted. The Lads' Club and 

 its organization is then treated, with special reference to its con- 

 nection with the Church, and to the question of religious tests. 

 Social, athletic, and recreative agencies in connection with the 

 club are considered, and the Bible-class, with the kindred subjects 

 of Church attendance, private prayers, and visitation during sickness,
