He conducted me to a wall. There was no door of entrance. It was made of scorn. I could see through the wall, for there were a great many port holes. I saw a wild circle of minds peeping through these holes, as though suspicious of our encroachment. When we had passed around the fortress, I heard the centurion say, “To arms, to arms.” He was a dark mind. He was told by my companion, “We are not enemies, but friends.” C. What hast thou to do here? W. We have come to aid thee. C. Hast thou not learned, that we do not admit strangers within these walls. W. Thou wilt not refuse what we do not ask. We do not ask admission within such walls, but we seek the deliverance of thee and thy fellows. C. Deliverance! Who art thou that profferest deliverance to the saints under my command? W. I am thy friend, and the friend of thy companions. C. How may I know thou art what thou sayest? W. By my works. C. Dost thou believe in the Bible? W. Thou wilt see my faith by my works. C. Thy works will not save a mind. W. What then will save? C. Believe in the Bible. W. Will a belief in the Bible save without works? C. A belief in the Bible will lead to good works, and faith and good works will save. W. Thou hast said, believe in the Bible. Will that belief save? C. Yes; because it will lead to good works. W. Does a belief in the Bible lead all who believe to good works only? C. Thou art an infidel, and yet thou profferest deliverance unto the people of God. W. Thou wilt not revile when thou obeyest our instruction. C. But ought not I to call thee by thy true name? W. Then, thou wouldst not rebuke when it is not thy prerogative to judge. Dost thou remember the record of thy confidence--that thou shouldst not judge, lest thou be judged; for with what measure ye mete unto others, it shall be meted to you again. C. I will not agree with thee, that because I have said thou wast an infidel, therefore I shall be judged as such before the bar of God. W. Thou wilt then disagree with thy Bible? C. Thou wilt allow an explanation of that passage, I suppose?
