THE THREE BEST BOOKS.

A pious old man, who lived in
poor, solitary cottage, had such a
store of knowledge and understand
ing, that he was able to give good
advice and salutary instruction to
every enc who applied to him.
A learned man who visited him was
astonished at the wisdom of his con-
versation, and said to him: Where
have you acquired this wisdom? l
see in your cottage no collection OF
books from which you could have
drawn so much good and beautiful
learning"
And yet" replied the old man, Il
have the three best books in exist
ence, and l read them daily. These
books are the Work of God above me
and around me; Conscience within
me, and the Holy Scripture.
1.-The Works of God, the heavens
and earth, are like great book open
ed before us; they proclaim to us the
omnipotence, wisdom and goodness of
our Heavenly Father e.
my conscience tells me What /
must do, and what must avoid.
But the Holy Scripture, the Book
of all books, informs us how God man.
fested Himself to man from the -erea-
ton of the world; how the Son OF
God, our Lord, and Saviour Jesus
Christ, came into this world; and
what He has commanded and prom
ised, what He has done and suffered,
in order to make us holy and happy
