'But no searching finds out all about God!' said Felix reverently. 'All we know is that He is so infinitely great and wise, that of course we cannot understand why all He does is right, any more than a private soldier understands his general's orders.'
'And you—you,' said Fernando, 'are content to say you don't understand.'
'Why not?' said Felix.
There was a silence. Fernando seemed to be thinking; Lance gazed from one to the other, as if disappointed that his brother was not more explicit.
'And how do you know it is true?' added Fernando. 'I mean, what Lance has been telling me! What makes you sure of it, if you are?'
'If I am?' cried Felix, startled into indignation. 'To be sure I am!'
'But how?'
'I know it!' said Felix.
'How?'
'The Bible!' gasped Lance impatiently.
