Reply to an Infidel Publisher

AN infidel publisher sent a young man a packet of agnostic literature. The young man replied, returning the literature, as follows: “Dear Sir, — If you have anything better than the Sermon on the Mount, the parable of the Prodigal Son, and that of the Good Samaritan; or if you have any code of morals better than the Ten Commandments, or anything more consoling and beautiful than the Twenty-third Psalm; or, on the whole, anything that will throw more light on the future and reveal to me a Father more merciful and kind than the New Testament reveals—send it along.” He has not received anything more from the infidel!
Infidelity and skepticism may fill the mouth with argument, but they will never give peace to a troubled conscience or joy to a sorrowing heart. Christ alone can satisfy, and give lasting peace and joy.
