D.L. Moody passionately defends the Bible against modern skepticism, arguing that no other book can replace its value and truth. He emphasizes the Bible's role in providing hope, especially in the face of death, and criticizes the notion that society has outgrown its teachings. Moody draws parallels between the Bible and the sun, asserting that just as we would not forsake sunlight for artificial light, we should not abandon the Bible for contemporary ideologies. He highlights the historical consequences of nations that have disregarded the Bible, contrasting the prosperity of England with the decline of France. Ultimately, he calls for a return to the 'good old way' of faith rooted in Scripture.
