THERE was an honest man, a Roman Catholic, who had never read the Bible. Someone gave him a copy. He began to read it.
After a while he said; “Wife, if this book is true, we are wrong.” It showed him he was a great sinner, and he became alarmed.
“Wife,” he said, “if this book is true, we are lost.” Still he continued to read, and after a time he saw the wondrous salvation God had to offer, and at last he exclaimed, “Wife, if this is true, we are safe!” Extract.
