In days when Bibles were not so cheap or so plentiful as they now are, a fisherboy was very anxious to procure a Bible of his own. He went to a Sunday school, but had no Bible at home, nor had he any money to buy one. But Pattie prayed to God to Ind him a Bible, and God heard his, prayer.
One day while he was wading in the sea, gathering bait for his father’s fishing lines, he saw a book floating on the water. On picking it up, he found it was a Bible, which had evidently been lost froth a passing ship.
Pattie rejoiced in being the possessor of God’s blessed Book, and read it eagerly. He was saved, and became a true follower of Christ, and in his own town he tells boys and girls in Sunday school, the story of Jesus and His love.
What a grand thing it is to be saved, and a lover of the Book of God while young. This is the only way to a holy, happy and useful life, and there is no other road to heaven and God.
