Some years ago a colporteur endeavored to persuade a soldier to buy a Gospel. The soldier started an argument, and becoming angry, grossly insulted the colporteur who, however, did not retaliate, but bore the indignity meekly. Mr. Nagata, by chance passing at the time, paused and listened to the talk of the men, and was so impressed with the forbearance of the colporteur that he was led to sympathize with him, and also purchase a Gospel himself. He took the little book home, and read it carefully, then decided to accept Christ as His Saviour.
