"Oh, no," said Mrs. Le Pla; "but I will certainly inquire for myself."
The next opportunity was eagerly embraced, and the zealous inquirer, seating herself by a good old woman of the congregation, whispered—
"Pray, madam, do they believe in predestination here?"
"Why, predestination," said she, "how can they avoid believing it? The Bible is full of it."
The querist was thunderstruck. She hastened home.
"Do they believe in predestination there?"
"An old lady told me they did," was the reply. "But," said the French lady, "I am determined to ask the minister myself."
Not long after, she had an interview with Mr. Knight.
"Pray, sir," said she, "will you allow me to ask you a few questions?"
"By all means," said the good man.
