APO:The Bible

   "This old book contains the mind of God, the state of man, the way
of salvation, the doom of sinners and the happiness of believers. Its
histories are true, its doctrines are holy, its precepts are binding
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 traveler's map, the
pilgrim's staff, the sailor's compass, the soldier's sword and the
Christian's charter. Here paradise is restored, heaven is opened and
the gates of hell are disclosed. Christ is its subject, our good is its
design and the glory of God its end. It should fill the memory, rule
the heart and guide the feet. Read it slowly, frequently, prayer-
fully. It is a mine of wealth, a paradise of glory and a river of
pleasure. It is given you in life, will be opened at the judge- ment
and will be remembered forever. It involves the highest responsibility,
rewards the greatest labor and condemns all who trifle with its holy
contents."
