He was a gentle aged saint, grown gray in his Master's service, a true minister of Jesus Christ. In conversation with a young man who was well-pleased with himself, and with what he had been acquiring at college, the younger man took the lead in questioning the elder.
"Of course, Mr. Ware, you are acquainted with such an author, and familiar with his works.”
"No," replied the aged man, "I do not know them.”
Some other subject was started by his companion, and question after question put to the old minister. To each of these the answer was, "I do not know.”
At length, frustrated and forgetting the honor due to gray hairs, the young man asked, "And what, sir, do you know?”
"Young man," was the reply, "I know HIM whom to know, is LIFE ETERNAL.”
