A very humble man was saying his rosary as he traveled by train decades ago. A college student occupied the same coach and thought the man a well-to-do peasant but out of touch with reality since he was praying the rosary. The student interrupted the man saying, "Sir, do you still believe in such outdated things?" *Yes, I do. Do you not?* asked the man. Laughing, the student replied, "I do not believe in such silly things. Take my advice. Throw the rosary out through this window, and learn what science has to say about it." *Science? I do not understand this science? Perhaps you can explain it to me*, the man said humbly with some tears in his eyes. The student saw that the man was deeply moved. So to avoid further hurting the feelings of this man, he said: "Please give me your address and I will send you some literature to help you on this matter." The man fumbled in the inside pocket of his coat and gave the boy his visiting card. On glancing at the card, the student bowed his head in shame and became silent. On the card he read: *Louis Pasteur. Director of the Institute of Scientific Research, Paris.
