Some v'ears ago a .Frenchman,
ivbo like many of his country-,
men, had woft' ti liigh rank among,
nien of scioiice, yet wlio deiued.
tlie Qwd- wlio is the Autltor of .all
science, , was crossing the great-
Saliara in company with an Arab
guide. He noticed, with a sneer,
tliat at certain times his guide,,
whateyer obstacles raiglit arise,
put tliem all aside, and, kneeling;
0.1 tile burning sandSi-calied on.liis
God. ; .
Day- after day passed, and still
the Arab never failed, till at last
one evening the philosopher,
wlien he ro.se from his knees, ask
ed liim, with a contemptuous
smile: “How do yon-know there
is a God I” The--gai)do fixed his
eyes Ori tlie scoffet for a moment,
in w'ondei', ■ arid tlien said, solemii-
ly.: “How do I know tliere is a
God? How do-'I know that a
man and not a camel passed my
hut'last night; in the darkness?
Was ifnot by the print of ids foot
in the sand ? Even so,” and he
pointed to tlie sun, whose last rays
were ffashing over the .lone des
ert, “tJiat foot print is not that of a
man.”
