Preface

It is always a pleasure to me to speak on the subject of this volume. I think I would rather preach about the Word of God than anything else except

-the Love of God; because I believe it is the best

thing in this world. We cannot overestimate the importance of a

thorough familiarity with the Bible. I try to lose

no opportunity of urging people by every means in my power to the constant study of this wonderful Book. If through the pages that follow, I can reach still others and rouse them to read their Bibles, not

at random but with a plan and purpose, I shall be

- indeed thankful.

Wiben thou goest, ft shall lead thee;
When thou sleepest, tt shall keep thee:

Wiben thou awakest, ft shall talk with

thee. — Pprov. vi. 22,
