Here place by the side of the laver a glass or bottle of milk.
This is to teach us that the Bible is so plain and simple that little
children can feed on it as they do on milk. Some people declare that
the Bible is too profound for children, and that they should seek and
read some other simpler book on religion first. But where is the
child that can understand human words that does not grasp the stories
of many of the Bible records? Noah and the Ark; Daniel in the Lions'
Den; The Hebrew Children in the Furnace; the story of the Finding of
Moses; Joseph and His Brethren, and the parables and the miracles of
Jesus, etc. We are all babes in Christ when first converted, and are
exhorted to drink the pure milk of the pure word of God.
