There is no doubt about that.
In such circumstances as these, assuming them up to the point where the obliging chauffeur had found the door closed in his face, a competent man would have lifted reason above his faith.

Calmly, he would have told himself, as did the chauffeur, "This is the juice of the grape; it is in nowise altered in composition because these hands of mine--which have done many things--have been laid upon it.
It is better to mix it again with unconsecrated wine, than pour it down the sacrilegious throat of an unbelieving chauffeur; I will put it back in the bottle." So a competent man would have acted, presuming that he had ever allowed himself to be so far caught in such a predicament.

But the Rev.Samuel was too fully possessed of that first characteristic of faith, which the Christian Church demands.

It only argues that you must take no man absolutely at his word, even when he presumes to speak, inspired with the voice of God.

Nothing has yet been written, nothing has yet been said, which can be made to apply without deviation to the law of change, and also indiscriminately of persons.
And so, for this unswerving faith of the Rev.Samuel, Sally Bishop is made to suffer.
