From Siam comes a remarkable testi-
mony to the value of the Bible, given
by Siamese preacher. Mai SCOT. He
says the Scriptures may be likened to
mirror of the heart: 1.-THE manner
of it's use is nearly the same as that Of
face mirror. When any one doubts
if his face is clean, he takes his mirror
and looks to see how his face is dirty
and then takes soap and water to wash
