Collins, the freethinker, met a plain farmer
going to church.

He asked him where he was going.

“*To church, sir.’”

“What to do there?”

“To worship God.’?

“Pray, tell whether your God is a great
God or a little God.”

‘He is both, sir.’’

‘*How can He be both???

‘*He is so great, sir, that the heavens can-
not contain Him; and s0 little that He can
dwell in my heart.’?

Collins declared that this simple answer from
the farmer had more effect upon his mind than
all the volumes which Jearned doctors had writ-

ten against him.
