The Indebtedness of Modern Civilization to the Bible - A Discourse Delivered Before the Sussex County (N. J.) Bible Society, at Its Annual Meeting in Newton, June 8th, 1864 #270616

Thy word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path. — psalm cxix. 105. IN the Holy Scriptures, counsels of infallible wisdom have been provided for every condition in the life of man. It is difficult, perhaps impossible, to estimate how much the world has been unconsciously benefited by the Bible. It is a lamp unto the feet of the righteous, but some of its light is also enjoyed by all who walk in his company. Its ways extend far over the path on which he treads. The counsels of Holy Scripture have been found as practically useful for the present life as they are safe in guiding to the life to come.
