We first talked upon the theology of revealed religion. As Bezoni warmed into candour, I perceived that his doctrines differed from my own, and that he inly disbelieved that divine creed which Christians profess to adore. From a dispute on the ground of faith, we came to one upon the more debatable ground of reason.
I did not sleep nor even retire to bed. I laid my head upon my hands, and surrendered myself to turbulent yet intense reflection. Every man who has lived much in the world, and conversed with its various tribes, has, I fear, met with many who, on this momentous subject, profess the same tenets as Bezoni.
"I forgive you," said I, when we parted, "I forgive you for all that you have cost me: I feel that the moment is now at hand when my faith shall frame a weapon wherewith to triumph over yours!" Father in Heaven! thanks be to Thee that my doubts were at last removed, and the cloud rolled away from my soul. Bezoni embraced me, and wept over me.

Even now I think I see the man as he sat before me, the light of the lamp falling on his high forehead and dark features; even now I think I hear his calm, low voice the silver voice of his country stealing to my heart, and withering the only pure and unsullied hope which I yet cherished there. Bezoni left me, unconscious of the anguish he bequeathed me, to think over all he had said.
