It is doubtful if Bible stories in simple language form are of much value to the boy. If he is too young to read the language on his own account, the stories had better be read aloud to him from the Authorized Version. Then as early as possible let him cultivate the habit of learning this wonderful book first hand. Nothing in the field of literature will serve him better than will this reading habit.
