WHAT a big book for such a little girl as Jessie to be holding. She is very proud of it, for her papa gave it to her on her birthday. She keeps it in the library with all of the other books, and when she gets tired of playing with her dolls and other toys, she takes it down from the shelf and looks at the pictures and plays that she can read.
When she is a few years older she will learn how to read and will spend many hours studying in this beautiful room.
If her parents are Godly people they will want her to learn more and more about the Lord Jesus and so they will teach her to read the Bible, for while on this earth, the Lord said: “Search the Scriptures; for in them ye think ye have eternal life: and they are they which testify of Me.” John 5:3939Search the scriptures; for in them ye think ye have eternal life: and they are they which testify of me. (John 5:39).
We get our spiritual food from the Word of God. We need food for the body daily, and how much better to feed the soul each day, for that will last forever.
