One day little four-year-old Ruth came into the house holding in her hand a book of comics, that had been given to her by another child. Ruth’s mother glanced at the book, and then said,
“O, darling, do you think the Lord Jesus would like His little girl to look at that book?” Ruth looked at mother, and said quietly
“No, mamma, it is Satan’s book, isn’t it?”
Mother told the dear little one how Satan loves to get boys and girls to read books and papers that take their minds away from the Lord’s things. Even though many seemingly harmless books are read by young and old, they appeal to the flesh, our old nature, as we read front the Word of God,
Dear boys and girls, be very careful what you read! How thankful we are that God has left a wonderful Book in this dark world, the BIBLE.
“Thy Word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path.” Psa. 119: 105.
In this precious Book we learn of God, the Father, and of Christ, our Saviour, in Whom are hid all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge.” Col. 2:33In whom are hid all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge. (Colossians 2:3).
