SOME years ago a godly shepherd lived in an isolated place in the country. A lady called upon him one day, and said,
“Shepherd, you must feel very lonely in this out-of-the-way spot, deprived as you are of nearly all company. You seem to have a very faithful friend in your dog.”
He replied, “Yes, but I have a more faithful friend here,” placing his hand upon his Bible, which was lying on the table, “and while I have this precious companion I shall never feel lonely.”
