8. The Bible This book contains the mind of God; the state of man; the way of salvation; the doom of sinners, and the happiness of the righteous. Its doctrines are holy; its precepts binding; its records are true; and all its decisions are immutable.

9. Read it to be wise; believe it to be safe; and practice it to be holy. It contains light to direct you; food to support you, and comfort to cheer you. It is the traveler’s map, the pilgrim’s staff, the pilot’s compass, the soldier’s sword, the Christian’s charter.

10. Here paradise is restored, heaven opened, and the ways of hell disclosed. Christ is its grand object, our good its design, and the redemption of man its end. It should fill the memory, rule the heart, and guide the feet. It is a mine of wealth, a paradise of glory, a river of pleasure.

11. It is given you in life, will be quoted at the judgment and remembered forever. It involves the highest responsibility, will reward the obedient, and condemn all who trifle with its precepts. Author unknown
