Bible Note: "'A few Sabbaths ago,' says one, 'a little boy, about six years of age, just after entering the school, came and asked me for the charity-box. I inquired what he wanted with it. "I want to put a halfpenny into it," said he. To examine his motives, and his knowledge of divine things more particularly, I asked him what good he supposed it would do to put his money into the charity-box. "I want to send it to the heathen," he replied. "Do you know," said I, "who the heathen are?" "They are folks who have not got any Bible, and live a great way off." "What is the Bible?" "The Word of God." "Of what use would it be to the heathen, if they had it?" "It would tell them to love God, and to be good." "Where did the Bible come from?" "From heaven." "Was it written in heaven?" "No, the prophets and good men wrote it." "If good men wrote it, how then is it the Word of God, and came from heaven?" "Why, the Holy Ghost told them how to write it." "Did they see the Holy Ghost, and did He speak to them?" "No, but He made them think it." This was enough. I presented to him the charity-box; he dropped in his money; a smile of joy glowed upon his countenance; and he returned to his seat filled with the luxury of doing good.'" --John Whitecross |
