More than a century ago a
proud university student boarded a train in France and sat next to an older man
who seemed to be a peasant of comfortable means. The brash student noticed that
the older gentleman was slipping beads through his fingers. He was praying the rosary.
"Sir, do you still
believe in such outdated things?" the student inquired.
"Yes, I do. Don't you?" the man responded. The student laughed and admitted, "I do not believe in such silly things. Take my advice. Throw the rosary out the window and learn what science has to say about it."
"Yes, I do. Don't you?" the man responded. The student laughed and admitted, "I do not believe in such silly things. Take my advice. Throw the rosary out the window and learn what science has to say about it."
