"What is there that you can't believe?"
"Well, there is the Bible, for instance."
"Don't you believe the Bible?"
"About as I believe Robinson Crusoe."
"Do you think the trouble is with the Bible, or with yourself? Don't you think that, if you had faith, as a Christian man, the Bible would be a different book to you?"
"That looks easy; of course, if I had faith I would be just as you are. But how can a man believe what he does not believe?"
"Did you ever hear about prayer?"
"Yes, I have heard something about it."
"Don't you think that there is something in it?"
"Yes, I am inclined to think there is." (I could not honestly deny it in the light of my experience.)
