Thomas Scott, the Biblical Commentator, once wrote a commentary
on “The Pilgrim’s Progress.” He gave a copy of it to an old
woman. Some time after he called to see her. “Have you been
reading the book I gave you?” he asked her. “Yes, sir.” “Do you
understand it?” “Well, sir,” she said, “I can understand what
Mr. Bunyan wrote, and I think that some day by the grace of God
I may be able to understand your explanation of it.”
