Doubts of a Doubter

 
A noted infidel, talking to one who shared his views, was heard to say: "There is one thing that mars all the pleasures of my life.”
"Indeed!" replied his friend; "What is that?”
"I am afraid the Bible may be true," he said. "If I could be certain that death is an eternal sleep I should be happy—my joy would be complete. But this is the thorn that stings me—this is the sword that pierces my very soul. If the Bible is true, I AM LOST FOREVER.”
