Why He Liked Them.

“Have you ever read the Bible from beginning to end?” “Yes. When I was a boy my parents compelled me to read a chapter every night.” “What part most appealed to you?” “The Psalms and Proverbs.” “That’s curious. Ordinarily a boy would not be expected to understand the Psalms and Proverbs as readily as he would some of the stories, such as the story of Joseph and that of Samson.” “It wasn’t because I understood the Psalms and Proverbs, but they were cut up into shorter verseß than any of the rest of the Bible, consequently I was able to get through the pagea faster.”
