"Do not think that I do not understand, Uncle. I know that your heart
is sad because of the injustice Stephen suffered because of your envy.
I know that you have sinned grievously. Why could you not like
the priest, Malina, grasp the cross and the feet of Christ? You
understand, in the Spirit, by faith, and receive the gift of
God--salvation. There further is this quotation: 'Christ Jesus came
into the world to save sinners, of whom I am chief,' and here again
it is written, 'It seems to me I am the one, the most sinful of the
sinners, but I believe, I believe, O Lamb of God, that Thou hast died
for me also, and I am casting my heart at the foot of Thy cross, that
Thy blood pouring over me may cleanse it also.'"

"I see there are very good things written there, Palko. Leave this
book with me for some time that I may be able to read it at leisure,
and see if also on me the Son of God will have mercy and forgive my
grievous sins. Now continue to read where we left off last time."

"Now I will also bring the song-book and we shall have a song. This
will be our Sunday worship." Bacha brought the book and they had a
lovely time in worshiping God. Christ came to them through His Spirit
and made the Word of God living, to the young soul who walked with Him
continually like Enoch, and also to the one who could say, "I have
gone astray like a lost sheep; seek Thy servant" (Ps. 119: 176).
