Alfred's Prize Bible

Many years ago, when Bible searching was less known than now, a family of four—three girls and a boy— set themselves to search the Word. So pleased was a Christian nobleman with the answers sent to his questions, that he made a gift of a Bible to Alfred, whose paper was the best. It was a great joy to him, and on the fly leaf was written under his name,
“All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness.” 2 Timothy 3:1616All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: (2 Timothy 3:16).
Alfred read in that Bible and his heart gladly opened to receive its truths. He was made wise unto salvation, and came boldly out on the Lord’s side. For many years he has been telling the story of redeeming love in a far-off land, and that prize Bible is still his daily delight.
How good it is to be acquainted with the Book of God in early years, and best of all to know Christ of whom it speaks. Do you know Him as your personal Saviour? If you do, then take the Word of God as your daily guide and counselor, and use it day by day. Christ in the heart and the Word of God in the hand are the secrets of a happy life.
