In Burma, as two men were looking over Bible seller's stock of Gospels, one warned the other not to buy them.
"What harm can there be?" asked the first man.
"There is certainly great harm," replied his friend. "I know a large number of Burmans and Karens who have bought these books, and they nearly always end by becoming Christians."
"Well, that is true," answered the first, "but I have some friends who were once notoriously bad men, and since they became Christians they are honest and good. This is why I want to read these books." Then he chose and paid for the Gospels in Burmese.
