Witnesses Three.

SHORTLY before he died, Patrick Henry, laying his hand on the Bible, said;

"Here is a Book worth more than all others: yet it is my sad misfortune never to have read it, until lately, with proper attention."

With voice and gesture pertinent, and all his own John Randolph said;

"A terrible proof of our deep depravity is that we can relish and remember anything better than 'the Book.'"

When the shades of death were gathering around Sir Walter Scott, he said to the watcher,

"Bring the Book."

"What book?" said his son-in-law.

"There is but one Book," said the dying man.

With such testimony as to the value of the Sacred Scriptures, reiterated by the great and good of all ages, it is a sealed book to many.
