The artist, historian, poet, novelist, scientist, traveler, are all indebted

What blanks there would have been in science, philosophy, and poetry if there had been no Newton, Bacon, Milton; but what a famine of knowledge there would have been regarding God and man, etc., without the Bible. Other books speak to us on these subjects, but, like the light of every star, their light is borrowed. The Bible has been the means of suggesting more thoughts, and expanding more minds than all other books combined. The artist, historian, poet, novelist, scientist, traveler, are all indebted to it. Every syllable has been carefully examined, and out of this examination, vast libraries have been formed. If all the rays of mental light which have streamed from it could be brought back to it, and if it were to be totally eclipsed, as the sun has been, what would be the condition of the world of mind? ~ A. McAuslane
