PROOFS
OF
THE
BIBLE
Canon
Rushbrook
Told
of
Scientific
Discoveries
Showing
Historic
Accuracy
Of
Scriptures--;"
'
in
an
.interesting
address
on
The
Relation
of
Archaeology
to
Biblical
History,"
Rev.
Canon
W.
F.
Rushbrook
set
out
to
prove
to
the
Rotary
Club
that
the
facts
of.
the
Bible
are
historically
correct
and
therefore
the
Bible
may
be
accepted
as
historical
truth.
Scientific
men
had
declared
that
there
was
undoubtedly
a
moulding
intelli
gence
In
the
universe.
God
was
unprovable
but
axiomatic.
Some
people
spoke
of
the
Bible
as
the
source
of
Christianity
and
mono
theism
when
it
was
really
a
history
of
the
development
of
monotheism
and
of
Christianity.
The
speaker
went
on
to
speak
of
some
of
the
discoveries
of
historic
pottery
and
historic
writings.
The
liscoveries
of
recent
years
had
set
he
date
of
various
historic
people
md
places
and
agreed
with
Biblical
history.
Records
of
the
flood
had
been
discovered
and
of
all
the
patriarchs
back
to
Adam.
It
was
noticeable
that
Babylonian
and
Syrian
scribes
spoke
of
the
flood.
brahamfwas
said
to
have
lived
xbout
1700
years
after
the
flood
or
bout
2.000
years
B.C.
An
interesting
mention
In
Bib-ical
history
was
that
of
the
Hlt-ttes.
Uriah,
the
Hittite,
Is
men-:loned
but
for
years
the
Hlttites
were
considered
to
be
either
a
mi
nor
tribe
or
purely
mythical.
Now
from
more
recent
discoveries
It
had
been
shown
that
they
were
a
very
oowerful
nation,
that
they
fought
against
the
Egyptians
and
overcame
them,
routing
the
Egyptian
army.
It
Is
also
said
that
English
writing,
which
Is
said
to
have
come
down
to
us
from
the
Phoenicians,
was
originally
obtained
from
the
Hlttites
on
the
shores
of
the
Black
Sea
where
the
Phoenicians
were
captives
of
the
Hlttites
and
lived
among
them
for
many
years.
At
the

the
speaker
was
