What Kind of a Recommend is It?

By J. A. Dayton

Two lads were sauntering along the way, when there passed by one who was a believer in the near coming of Christ. "There goes an Adventist," said one of them to his companion. "Is he? Well, I don't like that kind of people; do you?" "No sir," was the emphatic rejoinder, "there isn't but one decent trait about them." "And what can that be?" said the younger. "Why," he replied, "people do say they live up to what they profess." "Well, they must be queer; I guess the less one has to do with them, the better." Comment unnecessary.
