I just read this story in a book I'm reading by Hal Urban titled "The 10 Commandments of Common Sense" and thought I would share it with you all. It is a story written by H. A. Ironside (1876-1951) a well known Bible teacher and author of sixty books. The story is from his book "Illustrations of Bible Truth." It is a story about a man called Bishop Porter and the folly of judging others. Now you know this just makes me want to purchase some of his books and I will probably purchase this one. Can't wait to go to Amazon.com. Okay here's the story!

Bishop Porter was sailing for Europe on one of the great transatlantic ocean liners. When he went on board, he found out that another passenger was to share the cabin with him. After going to see the accommodations, he came to the purser's desk and inquired if he could leave his gold watch and other valuables in the ship's safe. He explained that ordinarily he never availed himself of that privilege, but he had been to his cabin and met the man who was to occupy the other berth. Judging from his appearance, he was afraid that he might not be a very trustworthy person. The purser accepted the responsibility for the valuables and remarked, "It's all right,
Bishop, I'll be very glad to take care of them for you. The other man has been up here and left his for the same reason."



Enjoy your weekend!

Hugs!
