Faraday's Testimony to the Value of Scripture
2 Timothy 3:16-17
All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction…


One of the best and greatest Fellows of the Royal Society in the present century was ill, and sitting in his room, when one of the best of my profession that ever lived in this country, Dr. Latham, went in to him and found this great man in tears, sitting by his fireside. Latham told me this story himself. He said, "My good friend, I fear you feel more ill to-day; what is it?" "No," he said, "not that; I was thinking what a sorrow it is that the world will go astray when it has this blessed book to guide it." This man was Faraday, and I need not say that the book on his table was the Bible.

(Sir H. W. Acland, M. D.)
