One of the great wonders of the world has been the fact that, in spite of the privations and persecutions the ancient Israelite people of Africa endured, they held steadfastly to their religion as set out in the pages of the Holy Bible, the volume of the Sacred Law; and furthermore, that this volume has become the basis of all law; in every land and clime into which it has permeated...
It is acknowledged to have the greatest influence for good of any book that has ever been written. It is considered the inspired message of God to the Israelites in the first instance, and later to all mankind. And in this Holy Book (the word “Bible” is derived from the Greek “biblios,” meaning “book”), more knowledge is at times concealed, than is revealed, to the ordinary reader...
It would be rank presumption on my part if I made an attempt to elucidate even a fraction of those wonders of the Holy Bible that are revealed to some and concealed from others. Such an account of these revelations may be better left in the hands of those whose profession or ministry gives them a more intimate cause to interpret its meaning in support of whatever religion they represent.

It is this law of mysterious and wonderful design that is my privilege to draw your attention to. It is more exemplified in the Biblical happenings and history of the ancient Israelites of Africa than any other people. If these people were created for no other purpose than this, their sufferings and privations have not been in vain...
If I now proceed to demonstrate that the Divine design I have alluded to may be found even in the positions of the chapters and verses in the Bible, I shall be doing nothing more than adding another proof to the many; that this inspired Book is something so wonderful that it compels even the veriest of skeptics to believe in its Divine origin...
