An anony- mous writer supplies one of the best descriptions ever conceived by man. It is worthy of w distribution and far surpasses antyhing we can think of just now Here it is: “The. Bible contains the mind of God, the state of man, the way of salvation, the doom of sinners, and the happiness of believers. Its} dectrines are holy, its precepts | are binding, its histori are true,’ and its deci e 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 te cheer you. | . “It asthe, traveler's: map, the | pilgrim’s staff, the pilot’s com- | pass, the soldier's sword and the , €bristian’s charter.

It is given you in life, will be opened at the judgment, and be remem bered forever.
