INFIDEL AGREEING WITH PAUL.
An admirable reply was once made by a careful reader of the Bible to an infidel who attacked him with such expressions as these: “To suppose that the blood of Christ can wash away sin, is foolishness: I don't understand or believe it.” The Bible student remarked, “You and Paul agree exactly.” The infidel replied, with much surprise, “How is this that Paul and I agree?” “Oh,” said the student, “turn to the first chapter of first Corinthians, and read the eighteenth verse.” The infidel read, “For the preaching of the cross is to them that perish, foolishness; but unto us which are saved, it is the power of God.” The infidel hung his head, and ever after studied the Bible with new feelings. Under the gracious teachings of the Holy Spirit, he was soon led to believe it to be the power of God unto salvation.—The British Workman.
