T. The day of judgment is when God judges by his law, and not till his judgment is withheld, will that day end. I know of no end to his judgment, nor to the period in which he judges. His judgment is just, and his justice endureth forever. D. When will the wicked be judged? T. When they are wicked. No mind can do wrong, without receiving a just recompense of reward. D. Of what benefit, then, is the atonement of Christ? T. Thy wisdom will be increased, when thou shalt see the atonement in thyself, and not hope for it because another has it. D. I do not understand thy meaning. T. When thou shalt agree with thy Bible, in regard to the atonement, then thou wilt find the atonement in thy works, as thou seest it now in Christ. D. This is more perplexing to me still. What dost thou mean by atonement in me? T. I mean the works which Christ done for the good of the needy. He gave sight to the blind, hearing to the deaf, health to the sick, and wisdom to the foolish. D. Dost thou say, miracles can be done by me? T. Thou canst do as thy Master hath said. If thou wilt follow him, thou mayest lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover; thou canst take deadly serpents in thy hands, and they shall not harm thee; thou canst drink poison, and it shall not injure thee; thou canst wait on the suffering, and the Lord thy God will bless thee. D. Then thou sayest, I am not a follower of Christ? T. Thy works testify of thee. D. Do they testify, that I am not a follower of Christ? T. If thou wast his disciple, his works would follow thee. D. Then, I am not his disciple. T. So thou sayest. But wouldst thou be? D. I would be ever as my Master. T. Listen then to thy Master’s instruction. D. What instruction? T. Such as I have, give I unto thee. Visit the sick, those in prison, those in need; and let thy mind be passive to the influence of those who would aid thee to be wise, and the glory of God will deliver thee from thy darkness, and make thee a light to them that dwell with thee in this castle of vain and empty words without deeds. D. Dost thou say, that I can do miracles? T. Thou canst do as thy Master hath required thee, and, when thou doest, thy works will testify that a miracle hath been wrought by thee. Thy companions will say, thou hast a devil. D. If I could believe thy saying, I would follow thee. T. Thou canst follow thy Master, and my saying will be verified by thy works. The atonement will be in thee to do the will of thy Master. D. Then all may atone for their sins. T. All may do good to those in need, and when they obey the law of God which requires good to be done, the atonement is in them who obey. It is an agreement with Christ to put away sin by personal sacrifice upon the altar of sympathizing humanity. Doing good is atonement, because it is agreement with the law of God, and puts wrong away. D. Then, there was no need of a Savior.
