A poor man who had been deprived of a Bible all his life was at last given the opportunity to secure one.
He read it with growing interest until one evening he said to his wife: "Let us read a part every night."
This they did. In about a week, during a reading session, the man stopped and said: "Wife, if this Book is true, we are wrong." Two or more evenings passed when again the man stopped reading and said: "Wife, if this Book is true, we are lost."
Now deeply anxious, he continued reading. By-and-by he stopped again, but this time his face lit up with a new joy and he exclaimed: "Wife, if this Book is true, we are saved." "The entrance of Thy words giveth light." Ps. 119:130.
