Catching a Skeptic

A WELL-KNOWN divine was once reading his Bible in a railway carriage, when a fellow passenger of skeptical proclivities said, “It is time you ceased reading that book which the scientific world has long since repudiated.”
“It would be better for you, sir, if you knew more about this old Book,” replied the clergyman.
“O, I know all about that old Book! I have studied it from one end to the other.”
“Then will you please tell me,” inquired the minister, “what you think of the book of Jehoachim?”
“The book of Jehoachin, sir, is the best book in your Bible,” replied the skeptic; “but it is full of historical inaccuracies.”
“There is no such book in the Bible,” replied the clergyman.
The skeptic immediately subsided.
