V. BECAUSE THE BOOK IS CONSOLATORY.

Sorrows are incident to human life. There are present troubles. Some

are heart-breaking. We need help and comfort. The world does not

contain it. Here is the balm that can heal every wound.

And there is the future. The prospect of death and eternity. Without

the Book of the Lord men are uncertain and hopeless. It sheds clear

light on both. How many in the prospect, are delivered from fear and

filled with hope! What comfort it affords under the bereaving stroke!

For all these reasons "seek ye out the Book of the Lord." Bring every

question to it. Read it daily, thoughtfully, for yourself, for

others. In your youth. In your active manhood. In your old age.--_J.

Rawlinson._
