Daniel
My poor man, I wish you could!
[His despair impels him to confide in anyone]: I was so sure of what I wanted to do, and now I begin to wonder if it can be done!
Poor Man
It has been done.
Daniel
But in this day—in this practical world—can any man follow the Master?
Poor Man
Why not? Is this day different from any other? Was the world never practical before? Is this the first time of conflict between flesh and spirit? If it could be done then, why not now, and, if it was ever worth the doing, why not now?
Daniel
