"Do you know, Elfie," said Mr. Carleton, "there are some people who do not believe that the Saviour was anything more than a man?"
"Yes I know it," said Fleda;--"it is very strange!"
"Why is it strange?"
"Because the Bible says it so plainly."
"But those people hold I believe that the Bible does not say it?"
"I don't see how they could have read the Bible," said Fleda. "Why he said so himself."
"Who said so?"
"Jesus Christ. Don't you believe it, Mr. Carleton?"
She saw he did not, and the shade that had come over her face was reflected in his before he said "No."
"But perhaps I shall believe it yet, Elfie," he said kindly. "Can you shew me the place in your Bible where Jesus says this of himself?"
