SEEING--AND BELIEVING

Two children were playing on a hillside, when they noticed that the hour was nearing sunset, and one said, wonderingly: "See how far the sun has gone! A little while ago it was right over that tree, and now it is low down in the sky."

"Only it isn’t the sun that moves; it’s the earth. You know, Father told us," answered the other. The first one shook his head. The sun did move, for he had seen it, and the earth did not move, for he had been standing on it all the time.

"I know what I see," he said triumphantly. "And I believe Father," said his brother.

So mankind divides still – some accepting only what their senses reveal to them, the others believing the Word of God.
