Snack for u 2 day...... power of his word...... A certain prisoner, most cunning and brutal, was singularly repulsive even in comparison with other prisoners. He had been known for his daring and for the utter absence of all feeling when committing acts of violence. The chaplain had spoken to him several times but had not succeeded even in getting an answer. The man was sullenly set against all instruction. At last he expressed a desire for a certain book, but as it was not in the library the chaplain pointed to the Bible which was placed in his cell, saying, Did you ever read that Book? He gave no answer but looked at the good man as if he would kill him. The question was kindly repeated, with the assurance that he would find it well worth reading. Mister, said the convict, you would not ask me such a question if you knew who I am. What have I to do with a book of that sort? The chaplain answered, I know all about you and thats why I think the Bible is the book for you. It would do me no good, he cried. I am past all feeling. Doubling up his fist, he struck the iron door of the cell and said, My heart is as hard as that iron; there is nothing in any book that will ever touch me. (from Illustrations of Bible Truths)
