Most children are fond of reading; but how many care to read the Bible,—the Book of Books? Do not think, dear children, that the Bible is only for grown-up people to read. When little Samuel lived in the Temple, he read the Word of God; and Timothy also knew the Holy Scriptures from a child.
Some of you have doubtless read of Mary Jones, who walked fifty miles to buy a Bible for herself.
We trust you will read your Bible every day, to learn about the Lord Jesus Christ, His great love for you, and His work of redemption on the cross of Calvary, and how He longs to save you. Do put your trust in Him, accept Him as your own precious Saviour, and you will be His own clear child for all eternity.
The Bible! the Bible!
More precious than gold,
The hopes and the glories
Its pages unfold:
It speaks of a Saviour,
And tells of His love,
It shows us the way to
The mansions above.
The Bible! the Bible!
We hail it with joy;
Its truths and its glories
Our tongues shall employ;
We’ll sing of its triumphs,
We’ll tell of its worth,
And send the Glad Tidings
All over the earth.
