GIVE ME THE BOOK! By John W esley
CONTENTS
I AM a creature of a day, passing through life, as an arrow through the air. I am a spirit come from God, and returning to God: just hovering over the great gulf till a few moments hence, I am no more seen! I drop into an unchangeable eternity! I want to know one thing, the way to heaven: how to land safe on that happy shore. God Himself has condescended to teach the 'way; for this very end Jesus came from heaven. He hath written it down in a book! Oh give me that book! At any price, give me the book of God! I have it: Here is knowledge enough for me, Let me be homo unius libri* Here then I am, far from the busy ways of men. I sit down alone; only God is here. In His presence I open, I read this book, for this end, to find the way to heaven. Is there a doubt concerning the mean ing of what I read? Does anything ap pear dark or intricate? I lift up my heart to the Father of lights. Lord, is it not Thy Word: “ If any . . . lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that giv- eth . , . liberally and upbraideth not,” “ If any will to do his will, he shall know” ? I am willing to do: let me know Thy will. I then search after, and con sider parallel passages of Scripture, “ comparing spiritual things with spirit ual.” I meditate thereon, with all the attention and earnestness of which my mind is capable. If any doubt still re mains, I consult those who are exper ienced in the things of God, and then, the writings whereby, being dead, they yet speak. And what I thus learn, that I teach. *A man of one book.
