Oil Your Bible

An old Bible salesman with whom we once worked related this story: In his visiting a home to demonstrate a Bible, and upon selling it, the lady asked him this  question: “How can I keep my Bible cover from becoming dry and brittle, thus causing cracks and breaks in the binding? The salesman replied. “Use PALM OIL my lady.” The lady, not knowing of such an oil, replied, “But what is palm oil?” The man replied: “Lady, in the palm of the hand is to be found an oil, which, when applied daily to the covers of your book, will prevent deterioration of the covers caused by dryness.” This lady was able to understand this. David knew the principle, evidently, for he said: “But his delight is in the law of the Lord, And in His law he meditates day and night..”   ( Psa. 1: 2 )  WE NEED MORE BIBLES WITH “PALM OIL” signs upon the covers.               [ from thoughts for today, Glen Hitchcock ]
