"DIARY OF A BIBLE"

I hope your Bible is not as lonely as this one.

Jan. 15       Been resting quietly for a week. The first nights after the
                    first of the year my owner read me regularly, but he has
                    forgotten me now, I guess. Another New Year resolution
                    gone wrong.

Feb. 2         Cleaning day. I was dusted along with other things and
                    put back in my place.

Feb. 3         Owner quickly picked me up and rushed off to Sunday
                    School. He did not open me, however.

Feb. 23       Cleaning day again. dusted and put back in my regular
                    place. I had been down in the lower hall since my trip to
                    Sunday School.

Apr. 2          Busy day. Owner had to present the lesson at a church
                    society meeting and quickly looked up a lot of
                    references.

May 5          In Grandma's lap today. she let a tear fall on John 14:1-3.

May 7-9      In Grandma's lap every afternoon now - a comfortable
                    place.

May 10       Grandma is going home. Back in my old place. She
                    kissed me good-by.

May 20       Baby born here today. They wrote its name on one
                    of my pages.

June 19     Had a couple of four-leaf clovers put in me today.

July 1         Packed in a trunk with a lot of other things. Off for a
                  vacation.

July 7         Still in the trunk.

July 15       Still in the trunk.

July 20       Still in the trunk; almost everything else taken out.

July 25       Home again in my old place. Quite a journey, though I do
                   not see why I went.

Aug. 2        Rather stuffy and hot. Two magazines, a book, and an old
                   hat on top of me. Wish they would take them off!

Aug. 9         Cleaning day. dusted and put back again.

Aug. 16       Cleaned again with special care and put in a prominent
                    place on the library table. Heard them say that the
                    preacher is going to be here for dinner.

Aug. 20       Owner wrote the date of Grandma's death in my family
                    record. Her glasses between my pages.

Dec. 31       Owner first found his glasses! Wonder if he will
                    make any resolutions about me this year.
