Many others had gone that way carelessly before, but had found nothing. A great many persons read the Bible, but they do it heedlessly, and do not discover the treasure it contains. "Search the Scriptures," for in them are the words of "eternal life." The illustration here differs from the UMichigan online copy, indicating variation in the publication. . p. 15 "There is a very curious flower called the Fly-trap. If an insect settles upon it, the flower closes together, and it can not get away unless the flower is opened by some one. This puts me in mind of sinful pleasures, which appear very tempting, and young persons think they may just try them a little; but when they have once done so, they are so entangled that they cannot escape unless freed by divine grace".
