T. When thou shalt agree with thy Bible, in regard to the atonement, then thou wilt find the atonement in thy works, as thou seest it now in Christ.
D. This is more perplexing to me still. What dost thou mean by atonement in me?
T. I mean the works which Christ done for the good of the needy. He gave sight to the blind, hearing to the deaf, health to the sick, and wisdom to the foolish.
D. Dost thou say, miracles can be done by me?
T. Thou canst do as thy Master hath said. If thou wilt follow him, thou mayest lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover; thou canst take deadly serpents in thy hands, and they shall not harm thee; thou canst drink poison, and it shall not injure thee; thou canst wait on the suffering, and the Lord thy God will bless thee.
D. Then thou sayest, I am not a follower of Christ?
T. Thy works testify of thee.
D. Do they testify, that I am not a follower of Christ?
T. If thou wast his disciple, his works would follow thee.
D. Then, I am not his disciple.
