Excerpt from The Great Portraits of the Bible The Bible is a great portrait gallery. The dif ferent books are rooms through which we range and find hanging on the walls the pictures of men and women, scenes in palaces, in the desert, from the battlefields of long ago. These old portraits are interesting to us because they are full of life. These men and women have been dead for thou sands oi years, but their deeds are still full of vital teachings for the people who are on the earth to day. The author has sought in the sermons con tained in this volume to put the portrait before his hearers in as modern and graphic a manner as pos sible, while at the same time keeping always in sight the divine message meant to rebuke or warn or inspire or comfort the listener. Most of these sermons have been preached on Sunday evenings with special reference to conveying a message that might find immediate response, and nearly if not quite all of them have been blessed of God in.
