MY BIBLE.

By L. B.

Though I am young, I've learned to love My precious Bible more Than all vain pleasures of this earth, Or hoarded, golden store.
Though oft I read its pages o'er, Its counsels good and true, And still peruse its history, I find it always new.
When heavy sorrow weighs me down, Or in temptation's hour, I seek its gentle precepts then, And feel their soothing power.
In joy or sorrow, health or pain, The Bible's always nigh; It teaches mortals how to live, It shows them how to die.
L. B. Portland, Me.
