Tell me, is the report I heard correct?"
 "First, Nathaniel, my brother in Christ, you tell me, you who once baptised me with water, if I in return should baptise you with the Holy Ghost?"
 This utterly alarmed the poor lay-brother.
 "No!" he exclaimed. "Don't speak to me of baptism! Spare me your baptism! I have enough to repent, enough to do to wipe from the book of my sins that morning on which I in my blind trustfulness sprinkled you with water. I don't want your baptism."
 Nathaniel sprang up from his chair.
 Emanuel turned white to the very finger-tips of his long, nobly formed hand, and gazed into the open, his lips trembling. […]
 "Emanuel!" [Nathaniel] cried at last, no longer severe, but full of compassion. "Emanuel," he besought him, "turn from the way you are going if only for my sake, for me from whom God will demand your lost soul on the day of days. You spoke of the mystery of the kingdom. My hair is standing on end, Emanuel. Let us pray that God remove from you this spirit of mental darkness. The mystery of the kingdom is the Lord's."
