Thence to the cemetery, where by the side of little Johnny's grave the new life had been commenced.

There was a long grave beside the short one now; and, standing there, he thanked God for the hope which he had of meeting the father and the baby in heaven.

Thence to the great elm-tree at the foot of the hill; and, standing there, he took out once more the little red Bible, and turned the leaves lovingly; lingered over the name written by Mr.Holbrook's hand, turned again to the first verse which he had ever read from its pages: "Thy word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path." Time and again had he proved the truth of that verse.

There, under that very tree, it had helped him to fight battles with Satan and come off conqueror.

And he thanked God for the Bible.
