from my boy, S.Addcox:
A scene in The Moonstone, a novel from 1868. In it a character named Miss Clack tips her cab drivers with tracts rather than with money. The cab drivers are certainly frustrated by her refusal to actually tip--
"He jumped up on his box, and, with profane exclamations of dismay, drove off furiously. Quite useless, I am happy to say! I sowed the good seed, in spite of him, by throwing a second tract in at the window of the cab."
Sadly, examples of poorly representing Jesus are more frequent than we all wish. So realize that our friends may have been treated like this before. There may be a jerk-reaction to us winsomely and tactfully discussing Christ. Patience, patience.
