BIBLE AND HUMAN NATURE

Rev. Jacob Chamberlain, of India, went to a native city where

the name of Jesus had never been heard. He began to explain to

them the first chapter of Romans, that chapter which describes

the heart of man wandering away from God and into sin, and

conceiving evil conceptions of God, until at last, “Tho they

know the judgment of God--that they which do such things are

worthy of death--not only do the same, but have pleasure in

them that do them.” The most intelligent man in the audience, a

Brahman, stept forward and said to Dr. Chamberlain, “Sir, that

chapter must have been written for us Hindus. It describes us

exactly.”
