I came here on Sunday.
gpt
I saw you,
human
Ah! can it be possible that you preached to me?
gpt
To you, if you think so. I spoke to every sinner in the congregation.
human
You spoke of a land where God is not; you described the terrible country well.
gpt
An arid land?
human
Ay, a thirsty land.
gpt
Those that find it so generally find also that they are being led back to a land where God is.
human
You believe, then, in the forgiveness of sin?
gpt
If I did not I should go mad.
human
My good sir, you are not much of a sinner.
gpt
I am a sinner, sir; and if I were not--if I dared to lift up my eyes to a holy, a righteous God, and say, 'I am pure'--I yet, if I did not believe as fully as I am now sitting by your side in the perfect forgiveness of sin, I yet should go mad; for I have seen other men's sins and other men's despair; I should lose my reason for their sakes, if not for my own.
human
Should you, indeed? You see now before you a despairing man and a dying man.
gpt
And a sinner?
human
Ay, ay, God knows, a sinner.
gpt
Then I see also before me a man whose despair can be changed to peace, and his sin forgiven. What hour shall I call upon you this evening?
