[Tip Lewis and His Lamp by Pansy (aka Isabella Alden)]@TWC D-Link bookTip Lewis and His Lamp CHAPTER V 5/6
Have you ever read in the Bible ?" "Some, at school." "You know, then, that God told men just what to say, and they wrote it here, so you see that makes it God's words; that is what we call it sometimes,--the Word of God.
Now, let me show you something." He turned the leaves rapidly, then pointed with his finger to a verse; and Tip read, "Thy word is a lamp to my feet." "Oh," he said, with a bright look, "that is the kind of lamp you mean!" "That is it; and, my boy, I want you to take this for your lamp.
There is no place on the whole road so dark but that it can light you through, if you try it.
When you don't understand it, there is always Jesus to go to, you know." And, taking out his pencil, Mr.Holbrook wrote on the fly-leaf, in plain, round letters, "Edward Lewis." Then, handing the book to him, with a bow and smile, the minister turned away. Tip walked out of the school and down the road, holding his treasure closely.
Such a queer, new feeling possessed him.
