'But where is He?'
'He has given me the slip.'
'Given you the slip? What do you mean?'
Mr. Treadman explained. While he did so, others arrived, men and women of all sorts, ranks, and ages. They were agog with curiosity.
'What like is He to look at? Does the sight of Him blind, as it did Moses?'
'Nothing of the sort. He is just an ordinary man, like you and me.'
'An ordinary man! Then how can you tell it is the Lord?'
'He is not to be mistaken. You cannot be in His presence twenty seconds without being sure of it.'
