A man who had been saved from a life of sin and wretchedness was telling a friend the story of his conversion while they were walking across a lonely moor. Taking a well-worn Bible from his pocket, he told his friend that one day, several years before, he picked it up in a lane, and the reading of it had led him to Christ. In a spirit of enthusiasm he then remarked: “I believe that if this Book were cast on this wild moor it would spring up and bear fruit.” He then threw the Bible to the earth, and with his friend, who was greatly impressed, walked away. Several years later he was at a religious meeting, where the preacher told the story of his conversion. He said that some years since he was with a well-known aeronaut in a balloon, when they came prematurely to earth owing to an escape of gas. They found themselves on a wild moor, and the first thing he (the preacher) noticed, as he lay suffering from a sprained ankle, was a Bible lying on the ground. Up to that time he had lived without a thought of his Creator, but, having picked up the Bible, he read it as he lay for several days at home resting his foot. He began reading it to while away the time, but as he read on his interest became aroused, and the power of Christ gripped his soul, and led him to seek salvation through Him. He then took the Bible from his pocket and held it up before the people, and the visitor saw to his joy that it was the Bible that he had cast upon the moor. (See last page of “Message.”)
