THE GREAT BOOK, GREAT MEN

-


    Andrew Jackson:  That book, sir, is the rock on which our republic rests. So great is my veneration for the Bible that the earlier my children begin to read it the more confident will be my hope that they will prove useful citizens of their country and respectable members of the society. I have for many years made it a practice to read through the Bible once every year.


   Robert. E. Lee: in all my perplexities and distresses, the Bible has never failed to give me light and strength.
   Lord Tennyson: Bible reading is an education in itself.
   Horace Greeley: It is impossible to enslave mentally or socially a Bible-reading people. The principles of the Bible are the ground-work of human freedom.
   John Quincy Adams: So great is my veneration for the Bible that the earlier my children begin to read it the more confident will be my hope that they will prove useful citizens of their country and respectable members of the society. I have for many years made it a practice to read through the Bible once every year.
   Immanuel Kant: The existence of the Bible, as a book for the people, is the greatest benefit which the human race has ever experienced. Every attempt to belittle it is a crime against humanity.
  Charles Dickens: The New Testament is the very best book that ever was or ever will be known in the world.
  Sir William Herschel: All human discoveries seem to be made only for the purpose of confirming more and more strongly the truths contained in the sacred scripture.                The Bible is one of the greatest books ever available to man to study, you will be surprise to know what some of the greatest men think about the Holy Bible.
               Abraham Lincoln: I believe the Bible is the best gift God has ever given to man. All the good from the savior of the world is communicated to us through this book.
              W.E.Gladstone: I have known ninety-five of the world’s great men in my time and of these eighty-seven were followers of the Bible. The Bible is stamped with a specialty of origin, and an immeasurable distance.
              George Washington: It is impossible to rightly govern the world without God and the Bible.
              Napoleon: The Bible is no mere book, but a living creature, with a power that conquers all that oppose it.
              Queen Victoria: That book accounts for the supremacy of English.
              Daniel Web: If there is anything in my thoughts or style to commend, the credit is due to my parents for instilling in me an early love of the Scripture. If we abide by the principles taught in the Bible, our country will go on prospering and to prosper; but if we and our posterity neglect its instructions and authority, no man can tell how sudden a catastrophe may overwhelm us and bury all our glory in profound obscurity.
            Thomas Carlyle: The Bible is the truest utterance that ever came by alphabetic letters from the soul of man, through which, as through a window divinely opened; all men can look into the stillness of eternity, and discern in glimpses their far-distant, long-forgotten home.
           John Ruskin: whatever merit there is in anything that I have written is simply due to the fact that when I was a child my mother daily read me a part of the Bible and daily made me learn a part of it by heart.
         Charles A. Dana: the grand old Book still stands; and this old earth, the more its leaves are turned over and pondered, the more it will sustain and illustrate the pages of the Sacred Word.
         Ferrar Fenton: in the Hebro-Christian Scriptures we have the only key that unlocks the Mystery of the Universe to Man, and the mystery of Man to Himself.
       Thomas Huxley: the Bible has been the Magna Charta of the poor and oppressed. The human race is not in a position to dispense with it.
       W.H.Seward: The whole hope of human progress is suspended on the ever growing influence of the Bible.
      Patrick Henry: The Bible is worth all other books which have ever been printed.


   Sir Isaac Newton: there are more sure marks of authenticity in the Bible than any profane history.
   Goethe: let mental culture go on advancing, let the natural sciences progress in ever greater extent and dept, and the human mind widen itself as much as it desires; beyond the elevation and moral culture of Christianity, as its shines forth in the gospels, it will not go.

MYSTERIES BEHIND COLOR

-
      I understand how scarlet can differ from crimson because I know that the smell of an orange is not the smell of a grapefruit. I can also conceive that color have shades and guess what shades are. In smell and taste there are varieties not broad enough to be fundamental; so I call them shades…..The force of   association drives me to say that white is exalted and pure, green is exuberant, red is suggests love or shame or strength. Without the color or its equivalent, life to me would be dark, barren, a vast blackness.      Thus through an inner law of completeness my thoughts are not permitted to remain colorless. It strains my mind to separate color and sound from objects. Since my education began I have always had things described to me with their colors and sounds, by one with keen senses and a fine feeling for the significant. Therefore, I habitually think of things as colored and resonant. Habit accounts for part. The soul sense account for another part. The brain w

A NEW WAY OF LIFE

-
                                                        The world today is faced with the overwhelming problem of the MATERIALISTIC LIFE. So many people are concerned that their lives have no purpose or direction in them. Scientific discoveries over the past few years have done little to ease the burden of millions whose lives are far from what they should be. The cause of the suffering and pain pervading human life today is its total absorption in the material way of life. The soul of man is pushed into the background as if it did not exist.       This absorption with life as it is today has brought nothing but despair and disappointment. Those who have pursued the material way of life to its highest point have found it empty and wanting. They have come to realize that life has a deeper meaning, and the spirits and hearts of men have cried out for a release from the burden which they have placed upon themselves.   What the world needs now is a new way of life which will le

BEST FOR YOUR HEALTH; UP OR DOWN THE HILL?

-
                                    Does it make any health difference whether you exercise by hiking up or down a steep incline? Researchers say that in some ways it might.   Taking the stairs regularly is a simple and practical means to improving health. Researchers asked 69 sedentary employees to use the stairs at their place of work instead of the elevators. After 12 weeks, the workers aerobic capacity had increased by 8.6 percent, which gave them a 15 percent reduction in all-cause mortality risk. The workers also saw significant improvement in their blood pressure, cholesterol, weight, fat mass, and waist circumference. A study conducted on a mountain in the Alps where for two months 45 volunteers hiked up the 30-degree slope and rode a cable car back down. Then, for two months more, they did the opposite. While hiking in either direction helped lower bad cholesterol, the study suggested that hiking uphill was more effective for lowering levels of fats cal
