AN INFIDEL'S TESTIMONY “ Did I firmly believe, as millions say they do, that the knowledge and the practice of religion in this life influences destiny in another, religion to me would be everything. I would cast aside earth­ ly enjoyments as dross, earthly cares as follies, and earthly thoughts and feelings as vanity. Religion would be my first waking thought and my last image be­ fore sleeping. I would labor in its cause alone. I would take thought for the morrow of eternity alone. I would esteem one soul gained for heaven worth a life of suffering. Earthly conse­ quences would never stay my hand or seal my lips. Earth, with its joys and its griefs, would occupy no moment of my thoughts. I would strive to look upon eternity alone, and on the immortal souls around me as soon to be everlast­ ingly miserable or everlastingly happy. I would go forth into the world and preach to it in season and out of season, and my text would always be: ‘What shall it profit a man, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul?’ ” These words made such a tremendous impression upon the great cricketer, Mr. C. T. Studd, that he threw up his legal career to go to the dark places of earth as a missionary. He said, “ They decided me at once to live only and utterly for Christ.” —THE TABERNACLE BULLETIN, Omaha , Nehr. N O V E M B E R , I 9 4 8
