He has learned Greek, Latin, Assyrian, Hebrew and other Semetic languages in order or-der to make a study of the Bible. There are many favorable favor-able comments on this attractively-bound book, but the one most helpful and encouraging, describes the Bible not as a ponderous and mysterious tome but as a library of 80 volumes, vol-umes, including the apocryphal books, written in three languages lang-uages over a period of a thousand thou-sand years. What could be more interesting interest-ing and valuable than this collection col-lection of books of stories, poetry, drama, religion, history and biography? What could make a finer or better Christmas Christ-mas gift. However, this book is not in Sprague Library.
