Hebrews 13:11-13 For the bodies of those beasts, whose blood is brought into the sanctuary by the high priest for sin, are burned without the camp.… Sheriff — was the child of a Christian mother. He had lived to be over sixty years of age without openly confessing Christ. Some time ago he "became interested in his spiritual welfare, and after attending some meetings in the city where he lived, he arose and openly acknowledged his intention to be a Christian. The positiveness of his expression, and his prominence in the community, caused a reporter to insert an item in the next morning's paper that the sheriff had been converted. When he went into the court-house in the performance of his duties, he was saluted by one of a throng of godless men with the remark, "Well, sheriff, we hear you are going to leave us." "Leave you?" said he. "What do you mean?" "Why, we heard," said the man, "that you were going to leave the world, the flesh, and the devil." The sheriff hesitated only an instant, and said, with great emphasis, "That's just what I'm going to do." One of the men then said, "How do you like its being printed in the paper that you have been converted?" He said, "Was that in the paper? I think that is grand. I wish that they'd print placards about it and put them up all over the city, so that people might know about it at once, that I mean henceforth to be a Christian man." It is needless to say that from that time he was a devoted and faithful follower of Christ.
