Imprinting the Bible

By Dwight Lyman Moody

You can not read the Bible as you do other books. I visited Mr. Prang’s chromo establishment in Boston, and saw the process of printing a picture of some public man. The first stone made hardly an impression on the paper. The second stone showed no sign of change; the third no sign. The fifth and sixth showed only outlines of a man’s head. The tenth, the man’s face, chin, nose, and forehead appeared. The fifteenth and twentieth looked like a dim picture. The twenty-eighth impression stood forth as natural as life. It looked as tho it would speak to you. So, carefully and prayerfully read the Word of God—read the same chapter again and again—and the twenty-eighth time Christ Jesus will shine forth.—Moody.
