The .Bible ( 2 Timothy 3 v 15 - 17 )

                 
                                          The Bible
     
              This  Book contains the mind  of God, the state of  man,
              the way of salvation, the doom of sinners and the happiness
              of believers. Its doctrines are holy, its precepts are binding
              its histories are true, and its decisions are immutable. Read it
              to be wise, believe  it to be safe and practice it to be holy.
              It contains light to direct you, food to support you and comfort
              to cheer you. It  is the traveller's map, the pilgrim's staff, the
              pilot's compass, the soldier's sword and the Christian's
              character. Here paradise is restored, heaven opened and the
              gates of hell disclosed. Christ is it's grand object ,our good
              it's design and the glory of God  its end. It should fill the
              memory , rule the heart , and guide the feet. Read it slowly,
              frequently, and prayerfully. It is given you in life and will
              be  opened in the judgement and will be remembered forever
              It involves the  highest responsibility, will reward the great-
              est  labour, and will  condemn all who trifle with its sacred
              contents.
