A Christian minister was passing a large department store, and followed a sudden impulse to go in and talk to the proprietor about his soul's salvation. Finding him, he said: "Mr. Thomas, I've talked beds and carpets and bookcases with you over a period of many years; but I've never talked my business with you. Would you give me a few minutes to do so?”
When seated in the private office, the minister took out his Bible and showed the storekeeper passage after passage which convinced him of his lost condition. Then he brought before that business man his duty to accept Jesus Christ as Savior. Finally the tears began to roll down his cheeks and he said to the pastor: "I'm severity years old. I was born in this city, and more than five hundred church officers have known me as you have in a business way. But in all these years, you are the first man who has ever spoken to me about my soul.”
His heart was touched by his friend's concern for his salvation and before the visit ended he was praising God for giving His dear Son for him.
