A college professor, a modernist in religion, observed a mechanic reading the Bible during his dinner hour. He said to him: "I'm surprised to see an intelligent man like you read that Book. Why, you don't even know the author of, say, the book of Ecclesiastes, for instance!”
The mechanic replied, "Do you use the multiplication table, sir?”
"Why of course," was the answer; "but what has that to do with it?”
"Do you know the author of it?”
"No, of course not.”
"Well, why do you use it?" the mechanic asked. "Because it works," came the answer again.
"That's why I read this Book—because it works," said the delighted believer...
The great test of all theories, remedies, or devices, is—DO THEY WORK? Detailed explanation and perfect understanding of them is unnecessary; if they work they are accepted and sought after.
So it is with the Gospel! The wisest sage or most holy saint cannot adequately explain or fully understand the ways of God in saving a soul; but it has worked in numberless cases. As a dear old saint once said: "God does not tell us to understand it; He tells us to believe it.”
