A poet of the people said this "How many ages and generations have brooded and wept and agonized over this Book? What untellable joys and ecstasies, what support to martyrs at the stake, to what myriads has it been the shore and rock of safety, the refuge from the driving tempest and wreck! Amidst thousands there's not a verse, not a word, but is thick-studded with human emotion.
