Learn the preciousness of the Bible as a means of leading us to Jesus. How precious must be the casket that contains such a jewel; how glorious the field that hides beneath its surface such a treasure. That casket, my brethren, that field is yours. Here is the clue which, if you firmly hold and surely follow it, will guide you out of life's labyrinths to the glorious light and liberty of the kingdom of God—will guide to Christ, to God, to heaven. Oh, clasp this priceless treasure to your heart; and as you remember that the whole universe is not equal in value to one Bible, thank God on your bended knee that ever the blessed volume reached your hand, and pray, "Open thou mine eyes, that I may behold wondrous things in Thy law."
