THE BIBLE IN SCOTLAND.

MR. MOODY says: “There is no place I have ever been in where people so thoroughly understand their Bibles as in Scotland. Why, little boys could quote Scripture and take me up on a text. They have the whole nation just educated, as it were, with the word of God. Infidelity cannot come there. A man got up in Glasgow, at a corner, and began to preach universal salvation. ‘Oh, sir,’ said an old woman, ‘that will never save the like of me.’ . . . If a man comes among them with any false doctrine, these Scotchmen instantly draw their Bibles on him. I had to keep my eyes open and be careful what I said there. They knew their Bibles a great deal better than I did. If the preachers could get the people to read the word of God more carefully, and note what they heard, there would not be so much infidelity among us.”
