Harry and Jim were two young fellows attending Harvard University. Jim had a godly Christian mother who prayed continually for her dear boy.
One night they were persuaded to go and hear Bob Ingersoll, the infidel lecturer and champion of atheism. Walking home from the lecture, Harry remarked: “Jim, didn’t old Bob mop Christianity off the earth tonight?”
“I don’t know,” replied Jim. “My dear Christian mother is left yet, and I wouldn’t give her, with her sweet Christian life and example, for all the Bob Ingersolls that could be crowded on the earth.”
