The Bible a Moral Defence
Matthew 4:4
But he answered and said, It is written, Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceeds out of the mouth of God.


We read that Oliver Cromwell had in his army one regiment — a fine, strong regiment — called" The Ironsides." They were very religious men. And it was quite the custom for almost every soldier to carry his Bible to battle with him. They used to carry their Bible under their dress; and more than once, in a battle, the soldier would have been ,shot through the heart but for his Bible. The bullet went through his Bible, or it would have gone through his heart. The Bible saved the heart!

(J. Vaughan, M. A.)
