l commend the study Of the Bible
because 1t places before US the high.
est standard of moral living to be
found in literature. In 1t are hid all
the treasures of wisdom and knowl
edge.
When Sir Walter Scott lay dying, he
asked his son-in-law, Mr.. Lockhart, to
read for him. What book?" said Mr.
Lockhart. What book?" said Sir
Walter; there is but one book-the
Bible-read that" He who had read
so widely. and had contributed SO
many immortal pages to literature,
gave this testimony to the value Of
the book.
Charles Dickens was In the habit Of
urging his children never to neglect
the reading of the Bible, as 1t con-
tanned the highest rules Of morality
known among men.
The Bible Is the true friend Of civil
and religious liberty. Where 1t Is prac-
tically unknown there religious liberty
is virtually unknown. 1t condemns
all oppression and inspires all worthy
national and personal character. II
sweetens all domestic life. and is the
SAVIOR of life in all social relations. 1t
glorifies marriage, beauties home.
and prophesies Of heaven. 1t trans
forms a house into home; 1t makes
earth the foretaste of paradise. 1t
makes the wilderness of social life
glad and 1t makes the desert OF earth
blossom into the garden Of God.
Let us love this blessed book, that
it may fully control our daily lives for
the good of man and the glory Of God.
Most of all, let all men believe in the
divine Lord and Savior who Is in the
fullest sense the divine Word, whom
this book makes known. Then, under
the influence OF this highest Word Of
God,
Shall all mems good
Be each mans rule, and universal
Lie like a shaft OF light across the
land,
And like a lane Of beams athwart the

by Gustavus Adolphus. His beaten
copper guns, wrapped in leather, could
be fired faster than man could fire
