Excerpt from The Last Christian The time of the Great Crisis for the Earth in 1886 was, as it happened, a matter of great concern and importance to me personally. From the beginning of the year I had heard them talking continually of Hell. But I find that my mind goes back naturally to the summer Sunday afternoon when the four bearded men sat together in my grandfather's sitting-room, canvassing the whole great matter thoroughly. I stood, from the beginning of it, at Mr. Griswold's knee, where he had called me - perfectly silent. The great, bony knuckle of his knee-joint lay hard at my back, and once or twice, in moving, I touched unintentionally the long gray beard, which hung almost to his waist. I felt his lean leg stiffening behind me as the president of the Christian College talked on. A question burst from him at last. "Tell me, " he said, "is this book the Word of God or of Professor Smyth?" "Yes, " said the long brown missionary, leaning forward eagerly, "tell us that."
