‘What an honest, conscientious man the Munshi is, was shown by his conduct to a rich tradesman in the city. This rich man paid the Munshi to come and read the “Granth” to him,--I suppose for amusement, as he himself is a Hindu and idolater. When ---- came to read, he saw an idol in front of the Hindu, and the Sikh positively refused to open the “Granth”--his sacred book--in presence of the idol. “Why,” says the Hindu, “you worship the picture of your saint, so you need not object to my image.” But ---- positively denied that he worshipped the picture. “Bring one here,” he said; “and in the presence of witnesses, I will tear it in pieces. Will you do the same with your idol?”’
