M. Then thou wouldst instruct Paul? W. Nay: but I would instruct thee. Paul says, when he would do good, others prevented him. When others prevented him from doing good, evil was present. Hast thou not seen evil in opposing good to others, when others opposed the good thou wouldst have done? M. Others will not oppose their own good. W. Hast thou not opposed the instruction we would give thee? M. I have not assented to all thou hast taught. W. Have I taught thee else but good? M. Thou hast taught what thou wilt say is good. W. Have I taught what thou wilt say is evil? M. Thou wilt not say it is evil. W. But what sayest thou? M. I will say, I will worship God as I have done. W. Canst thou worship God without fear? M. I can worship him in my own way. W. Will thy way be acceptable unto God? M. I trust it will not be displeasing in his sight. W. Then, thou canst worship without fear. M. I can, if I do my duty. W. What, then, is thy duty? M. To worship God. W. How, worship God? M. By obeying him with all my heart. W. Hast thou a heart to obey what is unreasonable? M. His commands are reasonable. W. What are his commands? M. He commands us to love him with all our hearts. W. Is that all? M. He commands us to love our neighbor. W. Is that all? M. He wills that all should repent. W. Thou hast well replied. Dost thou obey, in all things, his commands? M. I have not done all that I ought to have done. W. When dost thou expect to do what thou shouldst have done? M. Why, thou knowest that mind is imperfect, and God has made an atonement for sin. W. Has he made an atonement for all sin? M. He has made ample provision for all who believe. W. All who believe in what? M. All who believe in the atonement he has made? W. Will that belief save thee, or others? M. I trust it will. W. Then belief, in an atonement, will save. Has it saved thee, or others, from all sin and wrong? M. It will save all who believe. W. How canst thou decide, that what does not save, will save? M. By the promise which God has made. W. Where is the promise? M. In the Bible. W. Hast thou other promises? M. Nay. W. Wilt thou bring me that promise of God? M. The whole Bible is proof of it. W. But I ask where, in the Bible, is that promise? M. The Bible says, repent and believe, and thou shalt be saved. W. When wilt thou repent? M. I have repented of my sins, and found forgiveness. W. Hast thou any sins which thou hast not repented of? M. Peradventure, I have many. W. Will the atonement save thee from them? M. I trust it will. W. But has it saved thee from them? M. I will hope for my salvation. W. On what promise? M. On the promise of God. W. Wilt thou read that promise? M. That which thou askest, is not mine to give. W. That which thou hast, is thine to give. That which thou hast not, is not thine to give. M. Thou wilt not say, I can not read such promise. W. Thou wilt read, when thou canst find it.
