Influence of the Bible

ROBERT AITKIN, a bookseller, was called upon by a gentleman, who confessed himself to be an infidel, for Paine’s “Age of Reason.” Not having it, Mr. Aitkin told him he would give him a better book if he would engage to read it. He assented, and evinced surprise when a Bible was put in his hand, but said his word was passed and he would keep it. After a time he returned to thank the bookseller, saying the book had made him what he was not before—a happy man.
