A few moments later he turned to another page and said to them:--

"These lines also I desire to read to you who believe in Christ and

believe that Christ and God are one. I may not understand them, but I

have thought of them a great deal:--"

"'And if any man hear my words and believe not, I judge him not: for I

came not to judge the world but to save the world.'"

"'He that rejecteth me and receiveth not my words, hath one that

judgeth him: the word that I have spoken, the same shall judge him in

the last day.'"

He shut his Testament and put it back into his pocket and looked at his

judges.

"I understand this declaration of Christ to mean," he said, "that

whether I believe in Him or do not believe in Him, I am not to be

judged till God's Day of Judgment."
