GOD'S word was intended to give light to the people, and it does give light in every human habitation where it is permitted to shine. It is a lamp to the feet, and a light to the path of every human being who will receive it as a guide, and then humbly walk by it. For the mind of youth, there is no such enlightener in the world. It not only gives the light of truth but the light of life and immortality. It creates new hopes when all earthly hopes perish. Its very entrance, as the psalmist says, gives light to the mind. Let it but once enter the mind of youth, in all its divine fullness, power, and beauty, and that mind is already more than half educated, because a moral and intellectual discipline is thereby inaugurated which can never cease, which must go on as long as life itself.—Interior.
