Spurgeon's Sermons

It is such a blessing to get to know the Lord Jesus personally. I heard the other day of a famous infidel, an agnos-tic-that is, an ignoramus, a person who knows nothing-and he went to a certain house to meet an elderly lady of considerable literary renown. He was told that she believed in the Word of God and was a faithful follower of the Lord Jesus. And so he thought that he would have a word with her before he went away. "Madam," he said, "I have been astonished to hear one thing of you. I hear that you believe in the Bible." "Yes, Sir," she said, "every Word of it." "And pray, Madam," he said, "however came you to believe in that Book?"
