1:21:04
Here we are.
1:21:12
Mr. Grindle, this...
this place of yours...

1:21:15
is one of the most beautiful
I've ever seen.

1:21:17
- You should be very proud of it.
- Yes, I am.

1:21:20
Those great trees in moonlight,
they give the whole place a...

1:21:25
a cathedral-like atmosphere.
1:21:27
- You feel that?
- Yes.

1:21:29
I'm glad to hear you say that.
1:21:32
I've been coming here to pray.
It's so secluded.

1:21:36
I didn't want any of the servants
to see me.

1:21:39
I see you've been reading the Bible.
1:21:41
How did you know?
1:21:44
Well, we...
we know that it tells us...

1:21:48
that prayer, like good works,
should be done in secret.

1:21:53
- There's one thing that troubles me.
- What's that?

1:21:57
Well, on account
of the life I've led...

1:22:01
I don't know
very much about God.

1:22:04
And it's very hard
to pray to someone...

1:22:06
I mean, when you know
so little about him.

1:22:10
Well, that's true.
But nobody knows very much along those lines.

1:22:14
That's where we must rely
solely upon our faith.

1:22:17
Indeed,
I think it's a mistake...

1:22:19
to try to define our thoughts about it
in human terms.

1:22:23
That, in itself,
is a form of irreverence.

1:22:26
It's like...
like trying to put the ocean into bottles.

1:22:29
That's right.
That's where I've been wrong.

1:22:33
Trying to put boundaries
around this thing.

1:22:35
It's too big. It has no boundaries.
No limits.

1:22:39
It can't have, can it?
And be what it is.

1:22:43
Go on.
Go on, my friend.

1:22:47
You don't know it,
but you're praying right this moment.

1:22:59
No prophet of old could have said a finer thing
than you have just said.
