Excerpt: ... excellent! "Here a serious query suggests itself to my mind. I ask myself: am I, or am I not, as capable of writing my sentiments, so as to be understood by a rational man, as those plain illiterate men who wrote the gospels?

He very readily assents to the truth of the proposition; and further adds, it is even 'more than is necessary for his present welfare, ' for he was contented and happy before. Would any rational man say that your servant talked unreasonably? Would he say that such reasoning was absurd? I think not. Your servant does not despise either your goodness or...
