A CHILD'S QUESTION.

By A. S. Hutchins

"FATHER," said a little boy, "have you read the Bible through?"

"Why do you ask that question, my son?" was the reply.

"Because you do not read it now, and pray with us, as you used to, and I did not know but you had read it through," responded little S.

This question went to the cold professor's heart. He thought upon his ways, and again commenced reading the sacred word and praying with his family.

Would it be wrong to ask some Sabbath-keepers, "Have you read the Bible through?" If little S. was a child now, he might suppose they had. "Ye are the light of the world." Matt. v, 14.
