On one occasion the late Bishop Taylor Smith mentioned the subject of salvation to the barber who was giving him a shave. "I do my best, " snapped the barber, "and that's enough for me." The bishop relapsed into silence until the shave was over, and when the next man was seated the bishop asked: "May I shave this customer?" "No, you mustn't," replied the barber, with a wry grin. "But I would do my best," answered the bishop. "So you might, but your best would not be good enough for this gentleman, " said the barber. "No, and neither is your best good enough for God," replied the bishop.
