As Sir Walter Scott lay upon his death-bed, he asked his son-in-law, Mr. Lockhart, to read to him. “Out of which book, Sir Walter?” asked his relative. With an earnest look at his son-in-law, the dying author replied, “Lockhart, there is but one book. Read to me out of the Bible.” In the hour of death nothing but the word of God can support the soul of man. How is my young reader treating God’s book?
