“I am debtor…” (Rom 1:14). A.P. Gibbs spoke of a tract called “Suppose.” In it the question is asked, “Suppose you were offered $1000.00 for every soul you sought to win for Christ. Would you, for this reward, seek to win more souls for Christ than you are doing right now? Isn’t, then, your love for money greater than your love for Christ or your fellow man?” Judge George Mingins in his youth was an infidel in Philadelphia. He left the city and was converted. On revisiting Philadelphia, he stayed in the home of an old-time infidel friend. After three days there his friend said, “George, I hear you’re a Christian.” “Yes.” “George, you believe in God and in hell, and that all impenitents will go there for eternity?” “Yes.” “Well, does Christianity dry up all the milk of humanity in one’s body, as it has yours?” “What do you mean?” “Well,” said his friend, “you have lived here three days, believing all this, and you have not put your hand on my shoulder and said one word to save me.”
