Collins, the infidel, met a plain countryman going to church.
He asked him where he was going. “To church, sir.” “What to do
there?” “To worship God.” “Pray, is your God a great or a little
God?” “He is both, sir.” “How can He be both?” “He is so great,
sir, that the heaven of heavens can not contain Him, and so
little that he can dwell in my heart.”
Collins declared that this simple answer of the countryman had
more effect upon his mind than all the volumes the learned
doctors had written against him. (Text.)
