Publisher's Synopsis
WHEN riding in the train a little while ago, I overheard a conversation between two gentlemen--a young man on one seat, and an elderly man opposite to him on the other. They were conversing about some person recently dead, and I heard the young man say to the other, Oh, he had no more religion than I have.' I thought to myself, there is a state of confessed indifference on the subject of religion! I wonder whether that young man is an infidel; I will try to get an opportunity of speaking to him before the journey ends. And so I did; and I found that he professed to believe in God, and the Bible, and Heaven and Hell, as much as I did, and yet he had betrayed in that conversation that he had no religion, and that it was a matter of indifference to him, and I thought, Now this is the state of tens of thousands in this so called Gospel land'; they, like Gallio, care for none of these things.'
