A
notorious infidel had a considerable following in a certain town. He was one
of the braggart stamp, and seemed to revel in his outpourings of blasphemy
against God. One day, in the height of his folly, he challenged God, if such
a Being existed, to fight him in a certain wood. The day came, and he went
defiantly to the wood, stayed a certain time, and returned home again
apparently all right, and no doubt jubilant of his seeming success. But when
in the wood there had alighted on his eyelid a tiny midge, which he brushed
away, paying no attention to it. At night it swelled up, and blood poisoning
setting in, he died. "The fool hath said in his heart, There is no
God." God sent one of His tiniest insects, and the boasting braggart
fell before it. -- Faithful Words |
