A physician meeting an evangelist said to him:
“I believe in religion as much as you do, and I accept Christ as
my Savior, but I will never join any church.”
“Doctor, you are pension examiner.” “Yes.” “How many applicants
for pensions have you examined?” “I do not know, but hundreds.”
“Doctor, how many of these received a pension who had never
joined the army?” “Not one, not one. My wife and I will unite
with the Presbyterian Church.”
They did. This man, seventy odd years old, who had never been at
church once, became a devout Christian and died in the faith.
