THE BIBLE "BY HEART."

We know a dear Christian woman, for many years an invalid and great sufferer, to whom many sleepless nights are appointed, who, many years ago, "got by heart" the book of Psalms, so she can say with the psalmist: "In the night His song shall be with me." "My soul shall be satisfied as with marrow and fatness, and my mouth shall praise thee with joyful lips, when I remember thee upon my bed, and meditate on thee in the night-watches." "Mine eyes prevent the night-watches, that I might meditate on thy word." How would she spend her dark vigils without this midnight lamp? And was it not well for that boy of Romish parents, but taught in a Protestant Sunday-school, whose New Testament the priest subjected to inquisitorial fires, that he was able to say, "Thank God, I have seven chapters of St. Matthew that he could not burn?"—The Covenant.
