"The Bible is like a wide and beautiful……" — Thomas Chalmers

"The Bible is like a wide and beautiful landscape seen afar off, dim and confused; but a good telescope will bring it near, and spread out all its rocks and trees and flowers and v__ulant fields and winding rivers at one's very feet. That telescope is the Spirit's teaching."

— Thomas Chalmers
