Christ Only Savior

   A man in the interior of China, after attending a Christian mission for a while and getting no light, came to the missionary one morning in a happy mood saying, “I dreamed last night; and now I understand.

   I seemed to have fallen into a deep pit where I lay helpless and despairing. A priest of Confucius leaned over the edge and said, ‘Let me give you some advice, my friend; if you get out of your trouble, never get in again.’ A priest of Buddha came and stretched his arm over the edge, saying, ‘If you can manage to climb up so I can reach you, I will help you out.’ Then Christ came. And he climbed down into the pit and carried me out of it.”
