A pastor was passing a big department store and followed the impulse to go in and talk to the owner about his salvation. He said, "I've talked bed's and carpets and bookcases with you, but I've never talked my business with you. Would you give me a few minutes to do so now?"

Being led to the private office the minister took out his New Testament and showed the businessman passage after passage which brought before him his offer to accept Christ. Finally the tears began to roll down his checks, and he said to the pastor, "I'm seventy years old. I was born in this city, and more than a hundred ministers and five hundred church officers have known me as you have, to do business with. In all these years you are the only man who ever spoke to me about my soul."
