His Bible.

Mr. Moody tells a pithy story of a young man who held out a book to his pastor, saying, "Here's your Bible," and, turning the leaves, showed him the volume with many books cut out altogether, and hardly a whole page among those that were left. "Why, what do you mean?" asked the doctor of divinity; "that is not my Bible." "Yes, it is," was the reply. "I have followed your preaching for ten years, and whenever you have discredited a book or verse, or explained it away as uninspired or mythical, I have cut it out; and this is what is left of your Bible." "Let me have it," said the pastor. "Oh, no," said the young man instantly, "I am going to hang onto the covers anyhow."
