the carcasses of meat hung in front of the
shop were little decorations of colored pap-

box containing haddie was also' on display

THE BIBLE: ITS- SCIENTIFIC,
•ACCURACY
(By Rev. R. Glenn Pelfrey,' Free'
Methodist:, Church)
Today, and for the past 100
yedrs .or mare; Nwe are being
told that the. BIBLE is SCIEN
TIFICALLY INACCURATE,
CONTRADICTORY and INCON-
SISTENT; It is -easy -to write -or
make statements, but what
about the PROOF_of these al-
legations? -WHAT ARE THE
FACTS—not the • theories of
revolutionists . or- the blind,
blundering, babblings of ill- in-
formed, or uninformed (even
intentionally), men.
'Let us remember that the
816 -CE is the ONLY BOK that
informs us of:.
The ONE; TRUE GOD.
2. The , AcCUTAg1E, SGtIENTI-
FIC account of CREATION.
3. The HISTORY of - Mankind
feat Aden to ,Eternity.
4. The FALL of man, his SIN-
FUL STATE and his final'and
eternal DESTINY: the lake
of fire. - • f
5. The ONE SAVIOUR and
MEDIATOR between God and
man, JESUS CHRIST.
6.The ONE way to HEAVEN:'
through the Blood of Christ;
:-Therefore, the Bible' must be
dependable! For, if it is• not
correot'scientifically, 'it magi he
wrong theologically, or hiestoric-
ally, or in any or every 'way,
and thatleaves us like bobbing
barks being driven madly across.
the . unknown, gale -swept ocean,
of life without compass or rud-
der or sail, not know'lring out
destiny, if any, but only dark-
ness 'and despair- and fear!
But, thank God, the -Bible ds
true and dependable ' and
SCIENTIFICALLY ACCURATE!
About 60• years ago the de-
structive critics (of the Bible)
asserted most positively that
Moses could not have• written
the Pentateuch because writing
was unknown in his day, but
archeological discoveries pro'v-
M beyond a. queist aro' that writ-
ing far antedates the time of
Moses. For example, the Code
Haminurapi; a . remarkable
et of rules for living, found 'at
Ur (Abrahairi's••birthplace) was
written about 2000 B.C. Yes,
Moses .could - have, and did,
WRITE the Pentateuch!
History books .never mention-
ed .anything about Bglshazzar.,
who is mentioned several times
in the book of, Daniel. „There-
fore,- it was alleged, the Bible
is incorrect!
However; in ,1854, Sir Henry
Rawlinsort translated a number
of 'clay tablets found -by arche-
ologists in the ruins of ancient
Babylon. These writings con-
tained the name orf Belshazzar,
established his existence and
s- e'. 0 • question of the -de-
pendability
pendabulity of the ".book orf
4snRr.....,yr
Daniel. ,
In the book of Acts 13:7,
Luke writes of the deputy (or
the, "proconsul" ,-to .be more
accurate, see -Revised Version),
but according to information at
Band,. Cyprus, at that time, was
not ruled by a proeonsui but
by a propraetor. The destruc-
bie critics were delighted to
find this "mistake," But fur-
ther and more thorough invest-
igation has proved that at the
time when Luke wrote, Cyprus
was actually "ruled by a "pro-
consul." Again, the Bible was
vindicated!
Today, - evolution, which is
contrary to hie (teaching of the
:bible, is pre' eiit• d as a fact
,when actually it is only -a
-THEORY. In his hook: "Origin
of Species," Darwin tried to
"prove?' evolution'to be -true,
yet he "ASSUMES" and SCUP.
POSES" no less that 800 times.

u,ps. Oaf man was created in the
image -af, God! This is TRUTH!
In his• .book: "Creation's Am--
azing -Architect," whish deals
with the first chapter of Genesis
only, Walter J. Beasley, Fellow
of the Royal Geographic Society,
and President of the Australian,
Institute orf' Archeology, stated
-;Ave,-hiave _been... looking- at. a_
delightful array. of CORRELA-
TIONS (not contradictions) -be-
tween the sacred (Biblical) and
rock (Geological) ,records, and
observing that where it has
been. possible to test it, the
sacred 'story .tis NOT proving to
be SCIENTIMAL.LY INAC-
CURATE.' -Nei- in #she e'p rrrori
of the writer is there any need
(for us'; to be in1the (east con-
cerned about the truth or scien-
tific accuracy of'the rest of -the
story of Genesis relating to
man's creation and his early
history."
Thus, archeology, geology,
paleontology,. astronomy and in-
deed, any science, where pos-
sible, have, by 'their findings
proved the Bible to be- SCIEN-
TIFICALLY ACCURATAE,
CONSISTENT, and worthy of
its acceptance as our GUIDE
