THE E5IPER0R WILLIAM AND THE
1 BD3LE.
The following remarks, attributed to the
German Emperor by a provincial newspaper,
are reproduced by the semi-official North
German Gazette:— 'I like readine the Bible
often, the Bible which stands on the table
at. my bedside and in which I have under
lined the most beautiful thoughts. I can
not understand why so many people occupy
themselves so little with the Word of God.
Who, on reading the gospels and other pas
sages, is not impressed by the simple, liv
ing, proven, and attested truth? How could
Christ otherwise have set His stamp upon
the world? In all my thoughts and ac
tions 1 ask myself what the Bible s-ays
about the matter. , For me it is a foun
tain from which I draw strength and light.
In the hours of uncertainty and anxiety 1
turn to this great source of consolation.'
