The kindly clergyman, newly come to the parish, was at great
pains to teach an illiterate old man, crippled with rheumatism, his letters so
that he could read the Bible.
On the clergyman's return after a short absence from the
parish, he met the old man's wife.
"And how is Thomas making out with reading his
Bible?"
"Bless you, sir," the wife declared proudly,
"he's out of the Bible and into the newspaper long ago."

Ecc 12:13-14 (GNT): “After all this, there is only one thing
to say: Have reverence for God, and obey his commands, because this is all that
we were created for. God is going to judge everything we do, whether good or
bad, even things done in secret.”
