A new story of Col. Robert J. Ingersoll is told by the Chicago
_Record-Herald_:
Bishop Potter once lay sick, so sick that his life was despaired
of, and even his most intimate friends were denied admittance to
his bedside. One day, however, Colonel Ingersoll called. Bishop
Potter, learning that Ingersoll was in the house, demanded,
despite the protest of his physicians and nurses, that the
distinguished agnostic be asked into the sick-room.
“How is it, Bishop,” said Ingersoll after he had offered his
condolences to the invalid, “that I am so highly favored when
your other friends are not allowed to see you?”
“Well, you see, Colonel,” answered the Bishop weakly, “I may
not recover from this illness, and if I do not I have every
assurance of seeing the others in the next world. I realized
that if I wished to see you again, I must do it here.” (Text.)
