From my first look I became less and less of a skeptic, and more and more of a believer in Christianity, till my transformation was complete. The more I read the Bible with my altered feelings and change of purpose, the more was I impressed with its transcendent worth, and the more was I influenced by its renovating power.
His difficulties do not go deep enough; his struggle is intellectually not serious enough we see in it only a common incident of modern experience poetically told; it throws no light on the genesis and progress of the great forces which are molding and renovating the thought of the present it tells us nothing for the future.

"Well, it has a great importance for me just now. This row about my grown wheat, which I declare to Heaven I didn't know to be bad till the people came complaining, has put me to my wits' end.
