“SIR
“I don’t ask you because I know you will pardon a stranger for
addressing you, and I shall not say much. And the little I mean
to say I hardly know how to express. Some few years ago I was
a vicar in----. Now I am sick in body and soul. I had lost all
my faith, but I have been reading _Made in His Image_, and
to-day I prayed for the first time for more than a year, and
tears came, and I don’t know if you heard my voice calling to
you.
“I should like to see you. _Can it be?_
“Yours,
“DE PROFUNDIS.”
