Aunt Sarah's Faithful Witness
Story★★★★Many a man or woman has borne eloquent witness to his Christian faith by an unobtrusive, inconspicuous, consecrated life. A relative of Robert Ingersoll, known in that family as Aunt Sarah, living on the Pacific Coast, was a devout Bible student and a beautiful Christian. One day she received a package which, on opening, proved to be a copy of one of R. G. Ingersoll’s books, an attack on the Bible. On the flyleaf these words were written over Ingersoll’s signature: “If all Christians had lived like Aunt Sarah perhaps this book would never have been written.” The indisputable fact of a consistent Christian life was more disquieting to the great infidel’s unbelief than any- thing else.
The point
A devout woman's quiet, consistent Christian life convicted the skeptic Robert Ingersoll more than any argument could.
