"Do you remember what I said to you as you wept upon my neck?"
"Very well. You said, 'I forgive you with all my heart,' and kissed me. I shall never forget those words."
"Did you believe me?"
"Certainly. I never doubted your word."
"Did you then feel happy again?"
"Yes, perfectly; and since that time I have loved you more than ever before. I shall never forget how it relieved me when you looked upon me so kindly, and said, 'I forgive you with all my heart.'"
"Well, now, this is just the way to come to Jesus. Tell him you are sorry just as you told me, and ten thousand times quicker than a father's love forgave you, will he forgive you. He says he will. Then you must take his word for it, just as you did mine."
"Why, father, is this the way to become a Christian?"
"I don't know of any other."
"Why, father, I can get hold of this. I am so glad you have come to tell me how."
