Wilbur F. Crafts, Ph.D. JOHN BURROUGHS: In this age of science we have heaped up great intellectual riches of the purely scientific kind. Our mental coffers are fairly bursting with our stores of the knowledge of material things. But what will it profit us if we gain the whole world and lose our own souls ? Must our finer spiritual faculties, whence come our love, our reverence, our humility, and our appreciation of the beauty of the world, atrophy? Where there is no vision the people perish -perish for want of a clear perception of the higher values of life. Where there is no vision, no intuitive perception of the great fundamental truths of the spiritual world, science will not save us. In such a case our civilization is like an engine running without a headlight. SIR WILLIAM JONEs, familiar with the languages of twenty-eight nations, wrote: I have carefully and regularly perused the Scriptures, and am of the opinion that the Bible, independent of its origin as diVine, contains more important history and finer strains of eloquence than can be collected from all other books in whatsoever language they may be written. ILLUSTRATED BIBLE SELECTIONS COMMISSION 206 Pennsylvania Avenue, S. E., Washington, D. C. Copyright, 914., Wilbur F. Crafts. (These Plans will be published separate from Bible Stories and Poems at nominal price of 25 cents in cloth and I5 cents in paper-any profit going to free circulation-if $5,ooo is contributed for this purpose.)
