The excerpt represents the core issue or deciding factor on which you must meditate, and is drawn from Madam How and Lady Why by Charles Kingsley: are bound to do. For those to whom little is given, of them shall
little be required. What their religion was like, or whether they
had any religion at all, we cannot tell. But this we can tell,
that known unto God are all His works from the creation of the
world; and that His mercy is over all His works, and He hateth
nothing that He has made. These men and women, whatever they
were, were God's work; and therefore we may comfort ourselves with
the certainty that, whether or not they knew God, God knew them.
And so ends my fairy tale.
But is it not a wonderful tale? More wonderful, if you will think
over it, than any story invented by man. But so it always is.
