John Grant, about six years of age, is one of our very fine Sunday-school boys. He is a great lover of the church and the Bible. His father and mother have taught him the doctrine of longsuffering and not resisting. Recently he came in from school, reporting that he and another boy had come to blows; and John had got the better of the fight, according to his report. His father said, "But, Son, don't you know that you should not fight, and that the Bible says, if they smite you on one cheek, turn the other?" "Yes, sir," said John, "but that is one part of the Bible I don't believe!" And John is not alone here. Many may not be quite so frank as he to confess it, but they show by their actions that are either rebellious or just do not believe the part that condemns them.
