"Well—where I come from, they call Christians folks that have j'ined the church."
"That's making a profession," said Dolly.
"Yes, I've heard folks call it that."
"But what is the reality? What do you think a man professes when he joins the church?"
"I'll be shot if I know," Rupert answered, looking at her hard in the fading light. "I'd like first-rate to hear you say."
"It is just to be a servant of Christ," said Dolly. "A true servant, 'doing the will of God from the heart.'"
"How are you going to know what His will is? I should be bothered if you asked me."
"Oh, He has told us that," said Dolly, surprised. "In the Bible."
"Then I s'pose you've got to study that considerable."
"Certainly."
