A SUNDAY-SCHOOL teacher once had occasion to say to his scholars that he who buys the truth makes a good bargain.
He then asked if any scholar could remember an instance in Scripture when a bad bargain had been made.
“I do,” replied a boy; “Esau made a bad bargain when he sold his birthright for a mess of pottage.”
Another said, “Judas made a bad bargain when he sold his Lord for thirty pieces of silver.”
A third boy also said, “Jesus tells us he makes a bad bargain who loses his own soul in order to gain the world.”
