D. What do you mean by a sinner?
J. A sinner is one who does not fear God, who tells lies, who steals, who is disobedient to his parents, who delights to keep company with wicked persons, and who does not keep holy the Sabbath-day.
D. Why, if these are all sinners there is a fine lot of them in our neighbourhood, and perhaps after all you are one of them, Miss Jenny.
J. Yes, it is too true, I am a sinner, but—then—I know from the Bible what God has done for me.
D. Well I should like to know what God has done for you more than for me?
J. I did not say that he had not done the same for you, Mr. Richard; He will do the same for all those who ask him. O believe on Christ.
D. Well, and pray what is this good thing?
J. I trust that He has saved my soul from hell, by the death of Jesus Christ the Son of God, who died upon the cross and shed his precious blood to cleanse my soul from its sins. This is what I trust God has done for me, and I have good reason for believing that he has done this, for the word of God tells me so.
D. Has He done this for me, Jenny?
J. If you read the Bible you will find that Christ died for sinners, even for the chief of sinners, as the hymn says.
