Hid With Christ in God

Charles Haddon Spurgeon once told of some Christians who had been teaching a feebleminded youth all they could; but it was weary work. He was a little slow, and after long teaching, and especially teaching him the great doctrine of faith, one of teachers began to question him:
"John, have you a soul?"
"No, I have no soul."
The teacher thought he had spent his labor for nothing; but the poor lad went on to say: "I had a soul once, but I lost it, and Jesus Christ found it, and I always let Him keep it, so it is His, and not mine."
Retarded though he was supposed to be, he could say with the great Apostle Paul: "I know whom I have believed, and am persuaded that He is able to keep that which I have committed unto Him against that day." 2 Tim. 1:1212For the which cause I also suffer these things: nevertheless I am not ashamed: for I know whom I have believed, and am persuaded that he is able to keep that which I have committed unto him against that day. (2 Timothy 1:12).
