1769 - Napoleon Bonaparte was Born.
1771 - The Birthday of Sir Walter Scott.
Sir Walter Scott lay dying. They asked him if they could grant him any requests. He said, "Bring me the Book."
When someone asked him what book he had in mind, he answered, "There really is only one Book."
There is only one Book inspired by God, only one Book that is infallible, only one Book that is the final authority, only one Book that is the source of all other good books, and only one Book that is the rule by which all other books may be based.
Last night in our family devotions we learned another verse in the Bible. This one was Psalms 119:11, "Thy word have I hid in my heart, that I might not sin against Thee." Oh, we ought to know, love, read, memorize, and meditate upon the Bible.
1914 - The Panama Canal was Opened.
1935 - Will Rogers was Killed in an Air Crash in Alaska.
Will Rogers, in my opinion, was one of the great men in our history. It would do one well to read his life and writings. Especially would this be true for young people.
