"Ay, a thirsty land."
"Those that find it so generally find also that they are being led back to a land where God is."
"You believe, then, in the forgiveness of sin?"
"If I did not I should go mad."
"My good sir, you are not much of a sinner."
"I am a sinner, sir; and if I were not—if I dared to lift up my eyes to a holy, a righteous God, and say, 'I am pure'—I yet, if I did not believe as fully as I am now sitting by your side in the perfect forgiveness of sin, I yet should go mad; for I have seen other men's sins and other men's despair; I should lose my reason for their sakes, if not for my own."
"Should you, indeed? You see now before you a despairing man and a dying man."
"And a sinner?" questioned Home.
"Ay, ay, God knows, a sinner."
"Then I see also before me a man whose despair can be changed to peace, and his sin forgiven. What hour shall I call upon you this evening?"
