The Bible contains knowledge, wisdom, the mind of God,

the state of man, the way of salvation, the doom of the

sinner and the happiness of believers. Its doctrines are

holy; its precepts are binding; is histories are true, and

its decisions are immutable. It contains light to guide you,

food to support you and comfort o cheer you. God was 2,500

years getting ready to write the Bible; 1600 years writing it;

and has been 1900 years fulfilling it. The word boy occurs in the

Bible three times and the word girl two times. Christ is the

Key to the entire Book. Forty men were employed in its making,

was written by doctors, farmers, fishers, kings, shepherds, old,

young, rich, poor, learned and unlearned. It is the traveler’s map,

the pilgrim’s staff, the pilot’s compass and the soldier’s sword.

Do not neglect your Bible. It is a mine of wealth and

health to the soul and a river of pleasure. It is given

to you in this life and will be opened to you at the

judgment and it is established forever. If you want

a crown of rejoicing when Jesus returns to earth again,

read your Bible and lead lost souls to Christ and

you will have a rich reward  when He comes. II Tim-

othy 2:15 is the key that will

unlock the sacred Book to you.

KEEP

what

it con-

tains and

you will always

be happy and pros-

perous. Revelation 1:3.
