Our Bible Band Appreciated
Thus one of our band, who recently fell asleep in Jesus, had written, a short time before—and her sentiments are echoed by many others: “May I take a little of your precious time to tell you how much I enjoy my Bible readings? I have been able to follow them regularly except one week while my eyes were being treated. But I caught up as soon as I was able. The dear old stories I learned at my mother’s knee tasted so good, and how precious promises that recall help in times of need, making my heart rejoice. And now we are reading and following the footsteps of the blessed Master, and I am seeing new beauties all the way. “I wish I could say to my brothers and sisters who think they have not time for reading: Give God the first time; I mean before the work of the day begins, when the little ones are gone to school, even wash days and ironing days. The work will go easier when the heart is fed. How the great lifting promises would help the weary mother.
“Yours in the blessed hope,
“S. A. LLOYD.”
