A gentleman in India, as he was searching for a book, felt a pain in his finger, like the prick of a pin. He took little notice of it; but soon his arm began to swell, and in a short time he died. A small, but deadly serpent was afterward found among the books. There are many who receive in a bad book a wound that may seem slight but proves fatal to the soul. Be careful what you read.
“It (the Word of God) shall be with him, and he shall read therein all the days of his life; that he may learn to fear the Lord his God.” (Deut. 17:19).
