David Grayson
103
As
he
looked
at
me
his
china-blue
eyes
grew
larger,
if
that
were
possible,
and
his
serious,
gentle
face
took
on
a
look
of
pained
surprise.
"Before
you
say
such
things,"
he
said,
"I
beg
you
to
read
my
book."
He
took
the
tract
from
my
hands
and
opened
it
on
his
knee.
"The
Bible
tells
us,"
he
said,
"that
in
the
beginning
God
created
the
heavens
and
the
earth,
He
made
the
firmament
and
divided
the
waters.
But
does
the
Bible
say
that
He
created
a
hell
or
a
devil?
Does
it?"
I
shook
my
head.
"Well,
then!"
he
said
triumphantly,
"and
that
isn't
all,
either.
The
historian
Moses
gives
in
detail
a
full
account
of
what
was
made
in
six
days.
He
tells
how
day
and
night
were
created,
how
the
sun
and
the
moon
and
the
stars
were
made;
he
tells
how
God
created
the
flowers
of
the
field,
and
the
insects,
and
the
birds,
and
the
great
whales,
and
said,
'Be
fruitful
and
multiply,'
He
accounts
for
every
minute
of
the
time
in
the
entire
six
days--and
of
course
God
rested
on
the
seventh--and
there
is
not
one
word
about
hell.
Is
there?"
I
shook
my
head.
"Well
then--"
exultantly,
"where
is
it?
I'd
like
to
have
any
man,
no
matter
how
wise
he
is,
answer
that.
Where
is
it?"
"That,"
I
said,
"has
troubled
me,
too.
We
don't
always
know
just
where
our
hells
are.
If
we
did
we
might
avoid
them.
We
are
not
so
sensitive
to
them
as
we
should
be--do
you
think?"
