Robert\nMoffat, the great missionary to Africa, once told this story: He said that a\nwoman came to him after having walker fifteen miles and said that she wished\nfor a New Testament. Mr. Moffat said to her, \u201cMy good woman. There is not a\ncopy to be had.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now we are far from anyone else. We are living at a\ncattle outpost with no one to teach us but the Book. Oh, go try to find a Book!\nOh my brother, do go and try to find a Book for me! Surely there is one to be\nfound. Do not let me go back empty.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mr. Moffat, as he told the story, said, \u201cOh, if you could have seen\nhow here eyes brightened, how she clasped my hands and kissed them over and\nover again. Away she went with the Book, rejoicing with a heart overflowing\nwith gratitude. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
We\nneed a greater love for God\u2019s Word! \u201cMy\nson, attend to my words; incline thine ear unto my sayings. Let them not depart\nfrom thine eyes; keep them in the midst of thine heart. For they are<\/em> life unto those that\nfind them, and health to all their flesh.\u201d Proverbs 4:20-22<\/p>\n<\/body>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Robert Moffat, the great missionary to Africa, once told this story: He said that a woman came to him after having walker fifteen miles and said that she wished for a New Testament.
