Read the Bible

By Augusta C. Bainbridge

AUGUSTA C. BAINBRIDGE
As we study the Bible from week to week, in connection with our Sabbath-school lessons, or hear it in the church from Sabbath to Sabbath, or read a few verses at family prayers or in our private devotions, do we realize what an interesting book it is to read as we would read any other book? Being away from our people, and not having a Lesson Quarterly, spending the Sabbath, that is, a great part of it, alone, how I have enjoyed reading, just reading, the Bible.
The minor prophets, a book at a time, the Gospels, chapter after chapter—how many new things we find in this dear old Book! How harmonious is the whole! How perfect the detail! How complete each story! How connected the theme! How satisfying the message that each sentence brings to the heart! Yes, let us read the Bible. Let us read it more and more as we see the day approaching. Let us gather up the jewels of truth, and use them every day, and praise the Lord that we have them.
