A Good Recommendation

 

 

Bible—Best Recommendation

 

A youth looking for a job came to New York City, and, on inquiring at an investment firm if they wished to hire a clerk, was told that they did not.

He then spoke of the recommendation he had, one of which was from a highly respectable citizen. In opening his briefcase to find his letters, a book rolled out on the floor. “What book is that?” said the merchant. “It is the Bible, sir,” was the reply.

 “And what are you going to do with that book in New York?” The young man looked seriously into the merchant’s face, and replied, “I promised my mother I would read it every day; and I shall do so.” The merchant at once took him into his service.
